British 43rd Reg. of Foot, Tear Cartridge

British 43rd Regiment of Foot, Teat Cartridge, 1780 - Model 16198 Step back into the battlefield fervor of 1780 with this meticulously crafted representation of a British 43rd Regiment of Foot soldier at the ready. Modeled in a 1/30 scale, this hand-painted matte finish figurine captures the precise moment of preparing the cartridge, showcasing the historic military discipline of the era. The British military's manual of arms in the 18th century, detailed in Hugh Gaine's 1775 guide, eschewed direct aiming commands in favor of “leveling muskets” for firing. This practice underscored a refined yet rapid target acquisition under the stress of battle, emphasizing the development of aiming techniques within the ranks. Our figure stands poised with his musket, the manual command of “Present” vividly brought to life, embodying the rigor and precision taught to Britain's professional army.
