This is a brief guide to the Del Prado partwork - Soldiers of the American Civil War. This subscription started in the UK in April 2008 and therefore at time of writing is just beginning to roll out. My guide is aimed at UK collectors who are inetrested in this series and overseas collectors who may not have such easy access to information or figures. All numbering and contents relates to the UK release. This is important as quite often the numbers, the free gifts and the figure configurations are different in the various markets such partworks are realeased in (ie Figure 12 in the UK may not be Figure 12 in the US or elsewhere etc...).

Unfortunately no Osprey booklets are given with this partwork. Instead you get a small Osprey fact card which is hole punched ready to insert into a ring binder. Typical mounted figures are 3.75 inches (94mm) tall and foot figures 2.63 inches (66mm) tall.
