KGL Grenadiers
Figures used: AIRFIX British Infantry- 42 figures and 1 mounted Officer in Box
Painted in Late 70’s
The Kings German Legion played a big part in Waterloo but these are the only figures that I have painted to date. These Airfix figure were the only ones you could buy in plastic back in the 70’s and they can still hold their own today. These were the sixth Airfix Waterloo set to come out in 1972. Although the uniform is near accurate on these, some of the detail is missing, but once painted they look great.
These were painted before we had the internet and the only research I could do was at my local library, which did not have many books on Napoleonic uniforms at that time. These are a favourite of mine and I have painted these as other regiments which you will see later on in this section.
