NEW RELEASES 75/02 92 HIGHLANDER 1880

The first khaki frock was the same cut as the red frock, but obviously without any piping. So you could still paint him khaki.

Hi, just received my figure from SK miniatures. Great modelling and casting! I am a volunteer guide and researcher at the Gordon Highlanders museum and will be removing the cuffs and painting mine with a khaki tunic to represent either Kandahar or Majuba. In the museum we have the originals of the paintings shown in peedee's post and the Kandahar one is a real favourite.
If anyone wants to paint a scarlet tunic that would look great, but please do not copy the details from the Bill Horan figure. I am a big fan if Bill's work but in this instance he has got the details wrong as the tunic should have yellow cuffs, collar and epaulettes, all edged in white. Also the buttons on the spats should be black which was a unique distinction of the 92nd.
Great sculpt Carl.

I agree about the red "doublet" but in the 1882 Egypt campaign I believe all highland regiments, including the Gordons, wore the Scottish pattern undress "frock", which usually only had the collar in the facing colour and no white piping down the front.
Interestingly (or not!) they wore the frock because the grey uniforms didn't arrive in time. When they did arrive they were stored in Cairo and then issued for the 1884 Sudan campaign

[MARINO]

thanks

 

[Old Pete]

This is very nicely painted but I,m sorry to have to point out as a Gordon the buttons on his gaiters should be black

 

[martin tabony]

In memory of Sir John Moor, I believe. The only regiment to have black buttons on their gaiters.
