This assembly kit allows you to recreate with exceptional precision the most elite French infantryman from the time of Napoleon Bonaparte.

The Imperial Guard was an elite infantry formation created by Napoleon at the beginning of the 19th century. It was a symbol of the power and prestige of the French Grande Armée, participating in key battles of the Napoleonic campaigns, such as Austerlitz (1805), Waterloo (1815), and Wagram (1809). Imperial Guard Grenadiers were highly respected by both their comrades and enemies, recognised as the chosen of the chosen, the elite of the elite. The formation was active between 1804–1815, the entire Napoleonic Wars era.
