1/10 scale resin bust, coming soon
Sculpted by: Aaron Brown
This is a unique kit as the painter will have a choice to paint any one of the 11 Austrian Uhlan Regiments of 1910. All 11 shields are included in the kit and the painter will simply just have to choose the regiment shield number, sand and glue it in place on the Shapka (lance cap) and follow the painting guide for the regiment. The bust is sculpted in perfect detail and dimensions. Includes shooting award cords, dog tag, and canteen of the era.
IN 1905, THE AUSTRIAN UHLAN UNIFORM WAS STANDARDIZED WITH ALL REGIMENTS WEARING THE SAME BLUE ULANKA AND MADDER RED TROUSERS. EACH OF THE 11 UHLAN k.u.k. REGIMENTS RETAINED THE DISTINTIVE REGIMENTAL COLOR AND REGIMENT NUMBER ON THEIR SHAPKA'S. THE TOP PIECE OF THE SHAPKA IS COVERED WITH THE REGIMENTAL COLORED CLOTH (SEE CHART FOR COLORS). THE PEAK IS BLACK LEATHER WITH GOLDEN STITCHING. THE ROSETTE ON THE HORSE HAIR PLUME IS MADE OF GOLD CORD STITCHED AROUND THE IMPERIAL MONOGRAM "FJI". THE PLUME IS HELD BY A GOLD PLATED CHAIN AND THREE GOLD LION HEADS. THE EXCEPTION, IN THE CASE OF k.u.k. REGIMENT No. 2, THE CHAIN AND LIONS ARE SILVER. THE AUSTRIAN DOUBLE-HEADED EAGLE PLATE IS GOLD PLATED AND RETAINS THE REGIMENT NUMBER ON THE CENTER SHIELD.
THE ULANKA OR TUNIC IS A MEDIUM BLUE COLR WITH MADDER RED COLLAR AND PIPING. STARS ON THE COLLAR WHITE WITH SLIVER HIGHLIGHT. THE EPAULETE'S' ARE GOLD CORD. THE BUTTONS ON THE TUNIC ARE DISTINTIVE TO EACH REGIMENT (SEE CHART FOR COLORS)
