Post by: flags_of_war on October 08, 2012, 05:36:24 PM
Other than the details of them at Manasas with the Red Shirts what kind of Jackets did they wear? Im trying to see if i can use some of the Perry Plastics to Bulk out the Unit  :D

You'd need to give them Kepi's rather than turbans or fezzes and the trousers on the plastics are a little large for the fire zouaves but they aren't too far off. Jacket was light grey with blue and red trim.

Edit: Actually red fezzes were issued but all the pics I've seen of them were in kepi.

Sorry i should have said it was the first plastics i want to use not the Zouaves. Im thinking i combo from both boxes might work but i wasn't sure what jackets they would have used.

I'd be very interested in seeing your results, sir! I have to admit, the 11th is one regiment definitely on my "to-do" list. Though, I will very well start out with their splendid fire-fighter outfit.

Sounds like a very reasonable undertaking, looking forward to seeing the result!
