A very nice paint job indeed, but the Russian riders you used to depict Prussians in white Kollett coats look a bit too Russian. And Prussian cuirassiers didn't wear body armour during the Napoleonic wars except at the very end (the cuirass was only reintroduced in 1814 after the fall of Paris)

Bonsoir,

These are very nice but do look rather too Russian so suggest that you use them as such.

Perrys do some excellent Prussian Kurassiers but as Arthur says the wearing of the Cuirass is probably not right so go for Prussians in Litewkas instead?.

Cheers,

Paul

So (P)russian they might be an excellent rendition of the Novogrod Cuirassier regiment....    Outstanding painting as ever!

The trumpeter is definitely dressed as a Russian - not Prussian and Prussian overalls were grey, not beige.

That aside, these guys could be a Prussian unit from 1817 or thereabouts,
