Title: More Colonial Brits on the Perry Workbench
Post by: Arthur on May 09, 2016, 03:18:35 AM: Infantry in forage caps and shell jackets for the Cape Wars range, though they can be readily use for the 1845/46 Maori War as well :

They'll also double as British Auxiliary Legion for the 1st Carlist war and can be adapted to see service in Afghanistan and India for the 1839/1848 period.

It also looks as if the plastic colonial British set is about to receive some metal reinforcements :
