Hi, this would be my first Kit Review, please let me know if a miss something or would like to know more.
French Imperial Guard Grenadier, 1812
Manufacturer: Andrea Miniatures
Medium: Metal
Scale: 54mm
Parts, this kit come with 11 parts,Head with Bearskin,Body, Musket with hands, Bayonet,Briquet, One leg,Right Arm, Cartridge box, coat part, Havre-sac and base.
This is a easy kit to assemble, you would not find any major problem(only the mold line), the uniform detail is amazing, the buttons coat and other small details are well done.
Where you have to be really careful is when you put the musket and the arm who hold it together.
There is no instructions(as usual) but there is three color photos in the back of the box with a list of color(all from Andrea) that you can use, the photos are really helpfull if you don't have books or any other reference.
