Del Prado SNC110 NCO, Austrian Horse Artillery, 1800

The Austrian artillery of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars was a creation of the Lichtenstein system of the 1750s. Known for its economy and standardisation of equipment, this system of guns and equipment would remain in use until 1850. The Lichtenstein system produced a series of 3-, 6-, 12- and 18-pounder calibre guns, together with 7- and 10-pounder howitzers, based around standardised carriage and wheel designs. In the 1780s more mobile Cavalry artillery guns were added with their so-called Wurst seats, on which sat most of the crew.
