Hi Jesus
The only real altenrative to depict Penisular British infantry is HäT 8036 - British Light Infantry with their stovepipe shako (just cut the shoulder wings if you want Line Infantry). The next opiton is HäT 8096 - Waterloo Netherlands Militia and Belgian Infantry using the Netherlanders with their stovepipe shako. For British Rifles you could use Revell 02581 - British Rifles or Italeri 6083 - British 95th Regiment.
Watch the options at PSR site or in my own site British Infantry pre-1815

there is also italeri's new british infantyr set-
6095 - British Infantry 1815.

Which despite its title has the 28th in which wore the stovepipe at waterloo, and four usefull poses too!

they also have and officer and drummer which can be headswapped. The only difference is a tiny badge on the back of the shako, which for another regiment can be sliced of with a scalpel.

I personally would wait for the HaT set which should be out soonish!

Hi, HäT has one set Peninsular British infantry in sculpting phase.
And you can also use British infantry figures from NapoleoN Miniatures (metal)

Hi
Glufff.... I forgive the new Italeri set and we are waiting for the Hät set but it is at the 'un-finished masters' step and it is nos scheduled for next release
8186 Peninsular War British Infantry
However, the metal NapoleoN figures could be a good alternative:

and they are spanish

I'm hoping the HaT guys will be here before the end of the year though- they had been fast tracked a little

thank you very much every one!
