This year will mark the twentieth anniversary of PEGASO and just where he saw his first outing in Kulmback, will introduce a new subject in a limited edition (299 copies): a standard-bearer of the 42nd Black Watch, 1815. The scale will be the classic 75 mm.

Not my period of interest, but I must admit that this one is a must have.
As the Eurofigure goes away above the € 100,- I think this is gonna hit the € 70,- because it is exclusive.
Just have to wait to the exact price.
Gonna look at the president of the house with a very, very big smile.

When it comes to Napoleonics obviously one can´t go wrong with the depiction of famous units like Scotish Regiments or French Guard - so we see another beautiful rendition of this theme.
I remember the introduction of Pegaso to the market at Kulmbach and how I marvelled at their initial releases :) - already pricey but high quality. I just don`t understand why these "anniversary releases" for shows or for their own celebration have to be a limited run :( . Do we get extra satisfaction from the feeling " Hey, I was there and I could afford to buy me that special release (after I sucessfully robbed a bank)"?
Beneito for a long time had the habit to hand out special releases as free extras when you bought some of their products at the show and later these releases were available within their product line for everybody else - well good times back then ;) .
Cheers, Martin
 
That does look very nice! (y)

However I do have a couple of observations regarding the uniform and I'll need to check my references later.

Officers jackets were known to be laced on the front, especially on the dress jackets, but by 1815 it would have been less common but he could well have been at the Duchess of Richmond's Ball prior to the battle. The jacket has light company wings and generally the standard would have been carried by the centre companies. The bonnet looks a bit too full for the era, it is akin to the ones worn in the Crimea.

As I said these are just initial observations and they may well be unfounded.

Having said all that it is beutifully sculpted, will look great when painted up and I really, really want one :D
