HOBBY KIT
9800
93rd SUTHERLAND HIGHLANDERS
NEW ORLEANS, 1815
(Retail US$14.99)
This regiment was hand-picked
in 1800 from the estates of the Countess of
Sutherland, and quickly established a reputation as
one of the finest units in the British Army. Often
described as a regiment of giants (the average
height was 5'10"), this splendid unit was
tragically squandered at New Orleans; ordered to
halt only 150 yards from the American lines, the
highlanders were mowed down in their ranks,
suffering an appalling 75% casualties before they
were finally allowed to withdraw.
These are unpainted
and unassembled metal hobby kits.
Unless otherwise noted, these kits are in the
International 54mm
Collectors Scale. Standing figurines are approx.
2-1/2" - 3" tall.
