HIRIART Infanteria Regimiento Caupolican, Chile (1 Viewer)

This is the first Hiriart Chilean set that I added to my collection: 1062 INFANTERIA REGIMIENTO CAUPOLICAN, CHILE. I like the combination of their white, summer dress tunics with their gray German stahlhelms and pants. Hiriart has two other Chilean sets wearing similar uniforms; one is a lancer regiment and the other is an artillery gun team.

This is Hiriart's Set 1071 REGIMIENTO LANCEROS, CHILE where the figures are wearing the same uniforms (except for the red stripe on the cavalry breeches and the blue rather than red collar tabs) as the Caupolicans. Note: The catalog set actually has five figures, not four as in the photo.

Another Hiriart catalog set where the figures are wearing similar uniforms to the Caupolicans is Set 1271 REGIMIENTO TACNA, ARTILLERIA DE LLANURA, CHILE. Although it is a handsome set, I don't have it in my collection.

Hiriart has also included an general staff officer wearing this uniform in non-catalog Set ESTADO MAYOR, CHILE.

Here is another Hiriart non-catalog Chilean General Staff set where there is a figure wearing this uniform.
