Bewertung

• Excellent choice of subject, the Indian Infantry Command Group is suitable for many regiments of the Indian army serving on the Northwest Frontier, in Afghanistan, Burma, Egypt, und the Sudan.
• The advancing poses of the Indian Infantry Command Group are nicely Kompatibel mit Ral Partha’s Indian Infantry advancing.
• Good casting quality, practically no flash. Ral Parta colonial Figuren are a joy to paint und collect.
• Kompatibel mit other 25 mm 1:64 scale figures. Considering that many Indian sepoys of the period were noticeably shorter than their British comrades, these Figuren may be used alongside the taller 28 to 32 mm 1:60 scale Figuren available today.
• The Havaldar’s rifle is 25 percent too short, it measures only 1120 mm in 1:64 scale, compared to the actual 1407 mm length of the Snider-Enfield rifle.
