Strelets – 033 – Zouaves (Crimean War)

Description:

Zouaves

Unpainted plastic soldiers in 1/72 scale depicting French Zouaves during the Crimean War.

Box contains 44 figures in 44 different poses. The figures, intended for the Crimean War (French Army) can be adapted to use in the American Civil War if you don’t mind too much about accuracy problems, being the officers poses the most problematic for the conversion.

The 44 different poses are good and generous offer, some of them already released at the time under Strelets – 024 – Crimean War French Light Infantry set. There is a well bunch of figures engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and sadly, many of the poses, looks rather odd and doesn’t looks good figures, which is a pity for so nice subject, and when things were more or less well addressed in terms of accuracy.

Again we find a Strelets set with very good ideas, a very generous offer of poses, but a not so good execution in terms of sculpture quality.
