Expeditionary Force Dismounted French Dragoons The Figures
Dear All, Greetings from Singapore! Very pleased to inform you that the following set is now available for shipment next week (week beginning 25 May 2020).54mm Napoleonic Wars (1812-1815) – French Line Regiments 54 FRN 10 Dismounted Dragoons (Foot) This box-set contains 9-foot models comprising of 1 officer and 8 dragoons (all on foot). This set is designed to complement sets 54 FRN 06-A and 54 FRN 06-B French Line Dragoons (mounted) in the same uniforms with heads and certain parts inter-changeable.For the Napoleonic French line regiments series, this set marks the end of the series. The Napoleonic French regiments will resume with the Imperial Guard series in 2021, as we need to move on to our announced new period, 54mm WW2 Pacific War (see below). Dragoons are mounted troopers and are often deployed as a rapid mobile force to seize or hold important tactical positions where the infantry could not arrive in time. In this role, the Dragoon functions as an infantryman relying on his musket and bayonet. His mount would be kept at the rear and his sword, not useful in a fire-fight, would be kept with the horse.
The Dragoon Officer is not issued the musket and thus does not have the shoulder cartridge belt. His helmet is of a slightly different (more elegant) shape.

Those are very well done figures ,far better than Mars in all ,the depiction of such weapons are also interesting and well done .Another win x EXF .
The Machine gun crew is first made in Japanese best made so far ,CTS set has an awkward or odd pose seating firing MG .This as well Almark kit are very well done Both machine Gun are well done .
AT rifle is interesting weapon no used much at all more likely against Russian and Chinese in 1938-1942 period few battles.Yet a curious pose .
The weapon depicted in far background of photo 13 is not a mortar but a Type 89 or variants of it- Grenade Discharger and the pose if is what looks (been fired from feet!?)is wrong depicted in firing it as that . It can NOT be fired against any body part or the recoil will cause a bad injury to the person firing it.
Hope is just photo image angle and not done wrong . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_89_grenade_discharger
The Napoleonic are also well done..
Dragoons on foot with bayonets had not been made or barely made before with exception Dulcop one pose in the standard plastic toy soldier 1/32-1/30 scale range .
95th are nice done but to me too reaped small unit specifically depicted in mid- late uniform only by many makers by now(ACTA,AIP,Chintoys,replicant,etc)
They have an specific uniform ,gear,weapon and hat that made then not suitable x other generic unit unless complete transformed in my personal preference .

I think the Japanese figure with the automatic weapon is actually firing a anti tank gun.
