Historical model – American Civil War

Zouaves were units modeled after the French colonial formations, distinguished by richly decorated uniforms, baggy trousers, and fezzes. In the American Civil War, these battalions were mainly used by the Union Army, with one of the most famous being the 5th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment "Duryee's Zouaves". The Italeri 6012 set enables faithful recreation of dioramas depicting famous battles, such as Gettysburg and Fredericksburg.
