Zvezda 8036 Heavy Knights XV Century (1/72)

Zvezda 8036 Heavy Knights XV Century in 1/72 scale is an exceptionally detailed plastic miniature set intended for assembly, accurately reproducing the appearance of European heavy cavalry of the 15th century. This model is perfect for medieval history enthusiasts as well as hobbyists specializing in historic battle reconstructions. The set depicts a formation of heavy knights who constituted the backbone of many European armies during the Late Middle Ages.

Heavy knights, also known as heavy cavalry, were famous for their distinctive protective equipment—full plate armor and powerful horses. In the Zvezda 8036 model, you will find faithfully recreated details of armor, helmets, and weaponry, such as swords, lances, or axes. The set is made from high-quality, precisely molded plastic, allowing for excellent fitting of parts and outstanding detail retention after assembly and painting. The plastic is compatible with commonly available model paints and glues, which are not included and must be purchased separately.

The models depict heavily armored cavalry mainly used by the armies of England, France, Burgundy, and the states of the Holy Roman Empire. Knights of this type played a key role, among others, during the Hundred Years' War (1337–1453) and other conflicts at the end of the Middle Ages. They were employed in strategic battles such as Agincourt (1415) or Orléans (1429), where their charges often proved decisive for the outcome of an engagement.
