French Trumpeter Cuirassiers, 1804-11

[Kisifer]

Hello all fellow Planet Figureres,

I'm planing to start the French Trumpeter Cuirassier, 1804-11, of Poste Militaire, Link: http://www.historex-agents.co.uk/pictures/Pm/ftc1.html

I was looking for different uniform colors and regiments from the one shown above. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also if you have any photos that would help a lot.
Thanks again.

Hi Xenofan

I saw one of these done a few days agao in Under Two Flags in London as the 7th Cuirassiers, primrose yellow tunic, sky blue turn backs, white facings, buff breeches, very dramatic.

Like all Post Militaire kits they have a full break down of the colours and facings for all regiments.

The following links might help you make a desicion.

I am positive that Osprey also do a book on Cuirassier.

Hope these help
