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.
So many projects..... so little time.......

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.
