Highlander

This is a photograph of one of my 54mm plastic soldiers. It is from the Armies in Plastic kit of highlanders that served in the 1882 Tel-El-Kebir campaign in Egypt (kit #5416). As is the case with other AiP kits, the figures have a real retro feel to them and look as if they are old-fashioned tin soldiers.

This soldier is from the "Bogmont Highland Regiment". In other words, the figure does not reflect an historically accurate uniform but rather is intended to create a nice looking highlander in all his scarlet Victorian glory.
