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 first submission is just beginning to roll out. My guide is aimed at UK collectors who are interested in this series and overseas collectors who may not have such easy access to information or figures. 

I am no longer numbering these releases as the last lot I received had different numbers on the invoice, the figure packs and the booklets. I have therefore now simply listed them below in the order I got them. I have added some pictures to brighten up the guide but can't add more or larger images as 10 of this size is the limit allowed.

I HAVE HAD NO MORE ISSUES FOR AGES SO CAN ONLY PRESUME DEL PRADO HAVE NOW CEASED THIS SUBSCRIPTION.

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.
