Mars 72080 Lithuanian Tatars (1-st half of the 17th century) is a high-quality set of plastic model figures in 1:72 scale, representing Lithuanian Tatar warriors from the first half of the 17th century. Manufacturer Mars has ensured an accurate recreation of the unique features of this exceptional military formation, which played a significant role in the army of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

Historical Background

Lithuanian Tatars serving in the armies of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth were light cavalry units descended from Tatar settlers who had arrived in Lithuania in the Middle Ages. In the 17th century, they formed a key part of cavalry support and reconnaissance during numerous conflicts—especially in wars against Muscovy, Sweden, the Cossacks, and the Ottoman Empire. The set reflects the realities of the Baroque period: the richness of the equipment, original costumes, and weaponry characteristic of Lithuanian Tatars from 1600–1650, i.e., the period of the Polish-Muscovite wars and the Khmelnytsky Uprising.
