Whilst looking for the next set of figures to paint I discovered some conflicting information about the Chasseurs I painted up last month. I had given them white overall/trousers, following images found on the net. Reading the text in UNIFORMS OF WATERLOO indicates that the 1st & 2nd Chasseurs wore dark blue trousers/overalls. A dilemma! Do I repaint the set recently completed?
As I have another 40 figures (originally painted 30-or-so years ago) I can make an alternative set.
As they started.

Superb! Even with decals my attempt would look rubbish compared with yours!

[Ratch]

Thanks very much Jim, you're too kind
Having completed my previous set of Esci (214) Chasseurs, I came across some conflicting information regarding their dress. Having a batch of 40 figures left over, I decided to paint these in the alternative colours.

More in your collection of great figures, Ratch and I must agree with Jim that you have made a great job of those hand painted B-24 markings.

[Ratch]

Thank you too Shaun

Scrappy is now done.

Your signwriting skills have brushed up well on this one.

Thank-you Chris
