Need a little help on this one . Pegaso 12th light cavalry "hussar"

Box art shows Green Dolman and red breeks ,red facings and silver white cords and braids .
All the info I have points this to the 8th reg with the 12th having red Dolman and sky blue breeks

Which is right :confused:

That Pegaso figure depicts an officer of the 12th line Chasseurs à chéval, not hussards. While chasseur uniform was supposed to be green all over, white/silver lace and regimental facing colors, many officers chose to wear breeches in their regiment facing colors (crimson for the 12th)

Thank you Luis , the Hussar style Dolman threw me off course , all is clear now :)(y)
