    I have primed these fusiliers with Army painter color primer skeleton bone since i run out of my usual primer.
    I will paint most of the coats in grey/white typical of these French uniforms at the tine, they did changed to whitw in 1760's .
    The compagnies wore grey/white, but idecided to have few in warm white, the troops that were stationed in the colonies and especially India, because of the warm weather were issue some local fabrics, Nankeen was very common , some other kept their coats since coats had a 3 year wear for the infantry. 20190706_171157.jpg
