Nice! Are there some models in 25/28mm of them?

I live in hope that someone will make a decent 28mm plastic kit of light dragoons in Tarleton. There are a LOT of possibilities for such a kit, but the City Troop would certainly be high on my list. |

Those are NOT American Revolution Light Horse. |

You are correct. This is a volunteer militia cavalry uniform, quite possibly of the Philadelphia Light Horse, of the period between the War of 1812 and the Civil War. |

Yeah, I use the Perry box for Napoleonics--and MAYBE you could find a War of 1812 City Troop uniform you could get away with. But it's really the AWI I keep thinking of--a glorious variety of colorful cavalry units which seems almost designed for one of the modern "build your own regiment" hard plastic kits. Of course, I can't even buy an RHA box yet, and I'd have expected that very early in the plastics boom. |

That is the current parade dress of Troop A, 1st Squadron, 104th Cavalry Regiment, 28th Infantry Division (United States), Pennsylvania Army National Guard. |

Ah yes… A Troop… Love them. Hate them. They are still a part of 1/104 Cav… Eric |

It's actually post-1812, if I remember correctly. Tom Farley, I think, is still the curator of the museum they have on the third floor of the Armory at 23rd and Ranstead in Philly. My last Dining-In there, back in 2004, was held there. It was just amazing to be able to see all the artefacts. Eric |
