Italeri 6082 Mamelukes (1/72) is a high-quality plastic figure set depicting the famous Mamelukes in 1:72 scale. This model kit is an excellent choice both for military history enthusiasts and for collectors and modelers recreating the Napoleonic era. The Mamelukes formed a unique unit in Napoleon's army, known for their exoticism, bravery, and impressive uniforms, which are rendered by the Italian manufacturer Italeri with the utmost attention to detail.

The Mameluke unit in Napoleon Bonaparte's army was mainly composed of soldiers of Egyptian origin who originally served in the Ottoman military. After Napoleon's intervention in Egypt, some Mamelukes entered the service of the French, particularly distinguishing themselves during the Egyptian campaign (1798–1801) and at the Battle of Austerlitz (1805). Their colorful outfits, unusual for European armies of that period, as well as their exotic weapons, attracted much attention during parades and battles. The Mamelukes fought on the French side during the Napoleonic Wars, at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries.
