This product is perfectly suited for advanced painting techniques and working with fine details.

Historical and technical information

The Carabinieri are one of the oldest law enforcement formations in Italy, established in 1814. They have been (and still are) not only a police force, but also a paramilitary unit, acting as a guard of order and participating in numerous military operations. The Carabinieri took part in key events in Italy's history, including the 19th century unification of Italy, both World Wars, and contemporary peacekeeping missions.

The presented figure depicts a Carabiniere in full dress uniform, offering a picturesque modeling subject with high display value. The model reflects the period from the second half of the 19th century to the early 20th century (historical period: modern times, turn of the 19th/20th century), when the Carabinieri were an elite ceremonial unit of the Kingdom of Italy.
