About product

British rocket troops 1:72, set HäT 8003

A set of plastic figures in 1:72 scale with twenty-four figures, four launchers and four carts, roughly one hundred and twenty parts in all. It is a subject that appears only exceptionally in what modelers are offered, and yet this was a weapon that commanded great respect in the Napoleonic wars. It is supplied unpainted and unassembled.

The real subject

At the start of the nineteenth century the British army adopted war rockets derived from the Indian patterns it had met in Mysore. The rocket was inaccurate but cheap, easy to move and, against horses and inexperienced infantry, devastating to morale: it flew with a tail of fire, it roared and where it landed could not be predicted. It was launched from a simple stand or from a trough and the crew carried it on a cart. The British rocket troops took part, among other things, in the fighting in Germany in 1813, and their presence in a model formation tends to be more interesting than another battery of conventional guns.

Building and painting tips

The launchers have thin rods, so separate them with a sharp knife and do not bend them. Assemble and paint the carts before you place the load on them. British uniforms have a pronounced red that should be built up in layers over a light base, otherwise it stays muddy. The wooden parts of the carts are brought to life by a thin glaze drawn into the joints.

Who the set is for

  • wargamers building the British Napoleonic army
  • modelers looking for an unusual subject
  • makers of dioramas with an artillery position
  • completing infantry and cavalry sets in 1:72

The figures are supplied unpainted and unassembled. Paints, glue and bases are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Twenty-four figures, four launchers and four carts, roughly one hundred and twenty parts altogether.

The British army derived them from the Indian patterns it met in Mysore at the end of the eighteenth century.

Accurate they were not. They worked mainly on morale, because they flew with a tail of fire, they roared and where they landed could not be predicted.

Yes, both the launchers and the carts are made up of several parts.
