Italian Army C. 1860-1870

[captnenglish]

I recently picked up Soldiers MO-02 Lancer Kingdom of Italy 1860-1870, and other than the box art I have no references. If anyone can point me to color references, especially on line or has images they can/will scan I would very grateful. Other than being a mid-19th C subject this one is way outside my sphere of knowledge.

That looks like something I can work with, but for clarification purposes, is there text along with this plate? From the box art, the tunic looks blue, but from your plate, the tunic looks black.

Thanks much
