Airfix – 01743 – Waterloo British Cavalry (Hussars)

Description:

Waterloo British Cavalry (Hussars)

Tooled in 1972, in contrast with the Horse Artillery also tooled the same year, this set doesn’t stands as one of the examples of the good Airfix, except for the very generous 12 different poses for the 12 figures included in the box and the fallen Hussar figure, which despite the not great sculpture and pose is a nice addition and intention. Horses, in 4 poses including the unique fallen horse pose, are the same doubtful quality in terms of sculpture and pose. (We mean especially about poses and proportions).

The set remained in catalogue till the year 2003, being one of the most long living, maybe because it hadn’t so high demand as others during its life. It also usually was part of the Waterloo playsets.
