The Zvezda 8053 French Infantry of the 100 Years War model in 1/72 scale is a superbly crafted set of French infantry figures from the Hundred Years’ War, one of the best-known and bloodiest series of conflicts in medieval Europe. The manufacturer, the renowned Zvezda company, has ensured historical detail accuracy, making this set stand out from the competition with its exceptional craftsmanship and precisely rendered weaponry and uniform details.

The French infantry depicted in this set represents soldiers who played a key role in the military actions between France and England from 1337 to 1453. This infantry was widely used during the major battles of the Hundred Years’ War, such as Agincourt (1415) and Orléans (1429). They were especially important during the sieges and fights for cities and castles, as well as in defensive and assault operations. The model perfectly captures the weaponry typical of the period—swords, axes, spears, as well as characteristic shields and helmets, reflecting the evolution of medieval military technology in France.

The set is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring durability and ease of handling during assembly and painting of the figures.
