the bayonet is intended to be mounted on the waist of the figure in a "stowed" position [i don't know the correct terminology for that].

En anglais : "sheathed"?

Hi Gray
I like the way you post these out of the box pics,
they sure give a great help to buying by mail.

Looks a terrific figure, all credit to Gary and Kreston.

Gray, Thanks for posting that, it's great! I do not sculpt that small that often and the casting looks really nice. Parts like the bayonet and the trigger (cock) and ramrod and sling swivels are probably really delicate, so be careful during clean up. I would suggest "dry" fitting a lot of the equipment before any kind of priming or final assembly to ensure a good fit. This is a favorite period of mine and I've listed a couple of references that are still in print and are both very good. I'm very pleased with Kreston's interpretation of the figure, I hope it sparks some interest in the period. Thanks again Gray.~Gary

My full review of this kit will be published in Historical Miniatures Magazine. Briefly, Clean up was quick, fit of the parts was very good, a little filler needed at the arms and where the tricorn meets the head. This kit was a pleasure to paint.
