Hawk Miniatures produces a range of fine-scale model figure kits and bust kits designed by a modeller for the modeller to build, customise, and paint.
Hawk Miniatures model kit range represents military subjects from the British and Empire forces from many periods in history and conflicts. Such as
American War of Independence (1775 to 1783)
Napoleonic Wars and Battle of Waterloo (1803 to 1815)
Crimean War (1853 to 1856)
Victoria's Wars (1837 to 1902)
We aim to offer a truly representative range that reflects all the armed forces, whether they are from the Army, Navy or Royal Airforce, of the time and where possible Hawk Miniatures like to represent specific people to highlight their heroic endeavours, bravery awards and historical events.
“Into the valley of Death”: this 90mm scale mounted figure depicts a trooper of the 11th Hussars (Prince Albert’s Own) during the Charge of the Light Brigade, Crimean War 1854. The 11th rode in the front line of the most famous cavalry charge in British history, and this horse-and-rider kit captures the drama of that doomed advance at Balaclava. Sculpted by Alan Ball.
The kit is a multi-part mounted figure supplied unassembled and unpainted, and requires assembly. Any groundwork shown in the photographs was provided by the artist and is not included. Not suitable for children under 12.

The 11th’s famous crimson trousers, dark blue jacket and rich gold braid make one of the most rewarding hussar schemes to paint — ideal for our Kolinsky sable brushes, with a dry brush for the horse’s coat. See him locked in combat in the “Charge the Guns” set, and explore our Crimean War miniatures.
