Confederate Infantry Officer
Antietam, 1862

One of the most evocative and archetypical images of the American Civil War is the classic Confederate infantry soldier. Almost from the beginning, the Confederacy had serious trouble equipping its soldiers properly and coherently, and they tried to compensate for their lack of equipment and supplies with great tenacity and courage.

On the other hand, officers were a different story. Normally, their uniforms were privately purchased and tailored, so following the regulations was a bit easier.

This officer carries a regulation kepi and greatcoat over his uniform, along with riding boots and other elements, like the binoculars’ case and sabre, that were typical of his rank.

Note: This is a resin miniature kit that requires assembly and painting.
