HäT – 8343 – AWI British Infantry

Description:

Unpainted plastic soldiers in 1/72 scale depicting British Infantry during the American War of Independence.

The set provides 96 figures in 4 sprues, plus four horses — a generous number that suits large-scale diorama building or wargaming needs.

The poses are varied and balanced between marching, advancing, firing, and command figures. Notably, the inclusion of standard bearers, drummers, officers, and mounted figures provides excellent unit-building potential straight out of the box. The sculpting style is typical of HäT’s more recent soft plastic sets: somewhat simplified in detail, but with clearly defined features, clean uniforms, and practical bayonet lengths. The tri-cornered hats and crossbelts are nicely done, capturing the visual identity of British infantry of the period. There are 17 different poses and some figures are include twice in each sprue. One of the odds of the 4x equal sprue format is the repetition of the Command and unique figures.

Mould quality looks crisp in the provided photos, with minimal flash and well-aligned parts.

The style remains consistent with HäT’s approach: practical, numerous, and historically serviceable. The set pairs and counter part with the previous release HÄT – 8342 – AWI American Infantry.
