Valutazione

• Excellent choice of subject, these Gurkha Riflemen are suitable for many campaigns on the Northwest Frontier, in Afghanistan, Burma, Egypt, e the Sudan.
• The advancing poses are perfect for fanteria patrolling, advancing into combat, moving to alternate firing positions, ed engaging truppe nemichi in melee.
• The Gurkha con drawn Khukri makes an excellent NCO o hero figure. Purists may want to sharpen the blade of the Khukri knife to make it look even more realistic.
• Good casting quality, practically no flash. Ral Parta colonial soldatini are a joy to paint e collect.
• Compatibile con other 25 mm 1:64 scale soldatini. Considering that Gurkhas are noticeably shorter than their comrades britannici, these soldatini may be used alongside the taller 28 to 32 mm 1:60 scale soldatini available today.
• The Gurkha’s rifles are 25 percent too short, they measures only 1120 mm in scala 1:64, compared to the actual 1407 mm length of the Snider-Enfield rifle.
