Italeri 1/72 Nap Wars British Green Jackets

The Italeri 1/72 Nap Wars British Green Jackets (HC-6083) focuses on the renowned 95th Regiment of Foot, a rifle regiment of light infantry from the Napoleonic era. Known as the Green Jackets, they stood apart from line infantry through their specialist equipment and tactics.

Historical Background

The 95th were among the first British units to field the Baker rifle, offering notably greater accuracy than contemporary smoothbore muskets. In contrast to the conspicuous red coats of line infantry, the regiment wore dark green uniforms that served as an early form of camouflage on the battlefield. Operating in loose order typical of light infantry, they played a significant role in the Peninsular campaigns and fought at Waterloo.
