I did a top-up order of Freikorps 15s from The Little Corporal ahead of COW, as I'm a bit short of Sikh commanders. Plus they do an elephant command stand. Who doesn't want one of those.
I was bit concerned as TLC have been getting a bit of stick for their service. In the end it took a day or two short of a month to arrive, which is okay. I wasn't in a hurry.
The kit is two body halves, a separate head, howdah, parasol (2 parts), driver, "boy" and "maharajah". It went together okay. Few gaps in the joins I filled in with Das Pronto, and the filigree work on the howdah was incomplete, so I cut it off. The parasol shade was a bit thin, and I had a small hole to repair. I decided to assemble before painting, which made it a bit fiddly to get the brush in, but it has come up okay.
I think it will look suitably magnificent behind my Sikhs.
