At last! Samples I can use without starting a new army. These figures are almost 25mm - which is to say that they are in the Airfix scale rather than the current 30mm-plus 25mm scale. The cavalry horses are unusually large for the scale, very well designed but lacking in horse furniture. The figures of the horsemen are well proportioned but also lacking in detail except for the mantelsack attached to the trooper's posterior. Properly finished these make excellent heavy cavalry. I would recommend Die Kaiserzeit horsemen for corresponding light horse. The infantry are well proportioned and in believable poses. Unfortunately while the French infantryman received is fairly accurate in equipment(notas overloaded as was sometimes the case, but well equipped) and the Bavarian soldiers already in my collection from the same source have the blanket or overcoat correctly slung over the left shoulder, the Prussian wears his in the horseshoe fashion adopted after 1871 and kept through WWI.
