Zvezda 8025 Samurai Warriors Cavalry 1/72 – Plastic Model Kit

Zvezda 8025 Samurai Warriors Cavalry is a high-quality plastic model kit in the popular 1:72 scale from the renowned manufacturer Zvezda. This set allows for a faithful recreation of Japanese samurai cavalry, which constituted the elite military force of feudal Japan. The model features precisely replicated details of weapons, yoroi-type armor, and distinctive horse tack, providing an excellent level of realism once assembled and painted.

Samurai cavalry was an indispensable element of the Japanese daimyo armies from the 12th to the 19th century, playing a particularly vital role during the Sengoku-jidai (Warring States period, 15th–16th century) and the early Edo period. Mounted samurai took part in key battles, such as the legendary Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, which determined the fate of Japan for centuries. The models depict armed warriors in kabuto helmets, traditional armor, and with iconic weapons – katana, yari (spear), and yumi (Japanese bow).

Every component of the kit is made of high-grade plastic, ensuring durability and ease of handling. The handy 1/72 scale enables the construction of a realistic diorama or enrichment of an existing collection of historical figures. The set includes a set of plastic sprues for assembling several cavalrymen with their horses. Glue and paints are not included and must be purchased separately, allowing the modeler full customization and choice of painting techniques.
