Strelets – 258 – Bavarian Cuirassiers

Description:

Bavarian Cuirassiers
War of the Spanish Succession

Unpainted plastic soldiers in 1/72 scale depicting Bavarian Cuirassiers during the War of the Spanish Succession era.

Box contains 12 mounted figures in 12 different poses, including 3 command poses with a trumpeter, standard bearer and officer.

All the poses suggest that the unit is waiting at the ready, there is a mix of swords, carbines and pistols and are nicely sculpted in detail, though the static poses are less eye catching than charging figures.

Appearance of these Cuirassiers is some old fashioned for the period, resembling a lot to other mounted units used during the previous century, but seems the German States and other Habsburg allies retained the use of cuirass and full helmet longer than other countries during the period.
