Beneito BRITISH GRENADIER (59TH FOOT)

[Tommi]

BRITISH GRENADIER (59TH FOOT), NORTH AMERICA, 1777
Scale: 54mm








All parts of the kit are supplied in a foam lined box for protection of all parts. There is a comprehensive set of painting instructions also included.








The kit consists of ten white metal parts. A close inspection of all parts show a good level of detail with clean casting and minimal cleanup.





Here we can see a test fitting of the head to the upper body, the fit is exact. We can also see the high level of detail that has been sculpted into the charchter of the face.





The backpack keys in vey well onto the sculpted profile of the main torso. We can also see the location holes for the varoius pouches and other small parts included with the kit.





Both hands are cast on the top of the rifle barrel, a test fit shows a good fit to the writs and the base.








A close inspection of the other smaller parts shows again some nicley casted and well detailed parts.





Conclusion:

Another great realease from Beninto minitures: All parts need a minimal cleanup, highly recommended for anyone interested in this perion of history.

Can you tell me what colour you used for undercoat of the red jacket? White or a light grey?

I really like the look of this figure, theres something about the stance. The crisp painting on the boxart helps raise interest too.
