Strelets – 023 – Crimean War British Heavy Dragoons

Description:

Crimean War British Heavy Dragoons

Unpainted plastic soldiers in 1/72 scale depicting British Heavy Dragoons, part of the Heavy Brigade.

Box contains 12 mounted figures in 12 poses. Horses come in 6 poses.

The Heavy Brigade was composed of units from several regiments, st Royal Dragoons, the 2nd Royal North British Dragoons (Scots Greys), the 4th and 5th Dragoon Guards and the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons, but except for the Scots Greys wearing their distinctive bearskin the other regiments looks like mostly the same except for subtle differences and some different colors, so this set is fine to cover all of them.

Figures themselves are rather good, while the horses, for our taste, are not the best sample produced by Strelets. In any case this is an useful complemented by Strelets – 030 – Crimean War Scots Greys and part of Strelets – 902 – Heavy Brigade.
