Strelets M011 1/72 Napoleonic Russian Grenadiers in Winter Dress

The enduring image of Napoleon’s 1812 campaign in Russia is of the increasingly desperate French Grande Armée being destroyed by weather and lack of supplies during their long retreat, but in truth the Russian army also had much to do with that disaster. Yet the freezing temperatures and deep snow also took their toll on the Russian forces, and many died as a result. It goes without saying that those troops would have worn their greatcoats during those cold winter months, yet this is the first set depicting them in this much more realistic way.
