History:
The British infantry formed the professional backbone of King George III’s forces during the American War of Independence (1775–1783). Characterised by their iconic red coats and strict European-style battlefield discipline, these troops were involved in every major engagement—from the early clashes at Lexington and Concord to the final surrender at Yorktown. This 1/72 set from Hat Industrie presents these soldiers in dynamic battlefield poses, making it ideal for historical gaming and detailed diorama work. Whether you’re recreating the advance on Bunker Hill or a stand at Saratoga, this set delivers historically accurate miniatures for a pivotal era in transatlantic history.
