Italeri 6114 BATTLE of RORKES DRIFT - Diorama Set is a unique plastic scale model kit in 1:72 scale, allowing for an accurate recreation of one of the most famous battles of the colonial era – the defense of the Rorke’s Drift mission station during the Zulu War in 1879.

The British heroically defended themselves for over 12 hours, which ultimately secured their eternal military fame and numerous awards.
