This is the third batch of Prussians to be completed, in this case the cavalry. When I went through the boxes there were lots of cavalry in odd colours, mainly white and gree. I think they were supposed to be part of the Austrian army, however, they did not look quite right.
On closer inspection I worked out that, apart from some Revell black hussars and early war Revell Cuirassiers, the bulk were in fact ESCI/Italeri British Scots Greys wearing oilskin shako covers. I thought that with a dab of paint they could be passed off as Prussian dragoons. Here is the result:
From a couple of feet away they don't look to out of place.Next, I might tackle some of the Airfix Prussian Landwehr, but these are completely unpainted and will take a little longer.
