During the Middle Ages, magnificent suits of armor served both to protect their wearers in battle and to identify those of distinguished lineage or in positions of high command. Now hobbyists, students of medieval warfare and history buffs of all ages can assemble their own authentic, full-color model of a complete 15th-century suit of armor.
Based on actual battle dress once worn by King Henry V of England, ca. 1415, this protective attire includes all the standard components: helmet, hand, thigh, leg and foot coverings of steel gray; a shield as well as breast- and backplates with gold ornamentation on fields of red and blue; a lance; and a formidable sword.
Diagrams and step-by-step instructions make it easy to assemble this handsome, accurately detailed 13½"-high model.
