Del Prado SOL066 Cobber Kain: A Hurricane Pilot Before the Battle of Britain
Kain’s story belongs to No. 73 Squadron in France. The scarf, goggles and shoulder strap identify the figure; his June 1940 death rules out a Battle of Britain scene.

The kepi, white moustache and red breeches identify Joffre’s portrait. Conflicting 1914 and 1918 retailer labels make the date worth checking before choosing a display.
A folded map and sleeve chevrons make SOL045 a study of early military aviation. Reconnaissance reports mattered before fighter combat became its defining image.
The level musket makes this guardsman suit a wall or orchard edge. Identify the sculpt across NA015 and French issue numbering, then place it in Hougoumont’s wider defence.
Ewart captured the French 45th Regiment’s eagle at Waterloo. The Del Prado figure carries a sword, not the trophy: a useful distinction when identifying a loose model.
A slung weapon, netted helmet and loaded webbing: identify the Winnipeg sergeant and place him in the Canadian landings at Juno Beach.
The cap, carried helmet and slung rifle identify this quiet reconnaissance pose. Why cavalry remained relevant in a war associated with tanks.
The orange sash, extended hand and drawn sabre give NA087 its command pose. Dutch militia belonged to the Waterloo campaign, not just its garrisons.
