Are there such miniatures in 28mm, or are there castings that can substitute for them?

Thank you.

British troops in Africa may be the closest you get.

Looking in the Osprey MAA379. British officers are spot on for Belgian officers. They also indicate that old uniforms were used which opens up for using Foundry Darkest Africa Belgians

Wargames Foundry makes a range of Congo Belgians. Includes officers, NCO's, etc., as well as askaris.

Saginaw,

If you decide to got the Foundry route, I have a sizeable number, mostly painted, with which I can part. Contact me at jmcp1650 at comcast dot net (removing the spaces and substituting the symbols for the words).

Do they have a Roger Casement figure? Good for the Congo or the Easter Rebellion-
