Zvezda 8011 War Elephants III-I B.C. (1/72) – Plastic model kit to assemble

The Zvezda 8011 War Elephants III-I B.C. model in 1/72 scale is a unique offer for enthusiasts of ancient history and figure modeling. This precisely crafted set allows you to recreate the famous war elephants used on battlefields during the period from the 3rd to the 1st century B.C., which were an important element of ancient armies around the Mediterranean basin and Asia.

War elephants played a key role in the armies of such powers as Carthage, India, and the Hellenistic states (Ptolemies, Seleucids). The most famous examples of their use include the renowned Battle of Zama (202 B.C.) during the Second Punic War, where Hannibal's forces tried to break through the Roman phalanx with the help of war elephants. Ancient elephants were also used in battles against Alexander the Great's armies and in Seleucid campaigns until the 1st century B.C.

This model is made of high-quality plastic, providing excellent detail reproduction both in the shape of the animals and their complete battle equipment, as well as wonderfully sculpted elephant crew figures. The kit does not include glue or paints—these are available separately, allowing you to choose individual color schemes according to your preferences or historical sources.

This is a plastic kit for assembly, aimed both at collectors of historical battles and at those building dioramas or armies for wargaming in 1/72 scale. The model requires basic modeling tools and manual skills.
