    Lovely figure and well up to Chronos’ usual standards by the look of it. I’d be tempted to do something about the single cross-belt, though, as it doesn’t really seem to follow the contour of the cuirasse and perhaps sticks out a bit too much at the clip end.

    All kits include tin foil. You can make this belt yourself from foil, it will look more large-scale in relation to the figure.

    This is mistake. Yes, from afar, the standards of the line (not guards) cuirassier regiments may seem the same, and differ only in the color of the cloth, but this is not so. By 1812, the Russian cuirassier regiments were using the cuirassiers standards of the 1797 and 1803 models. In addition, the Pskov dragoon regiment, becoming a cuirassier regiment at the end of December 1812, remained with the dragoon standards of the 1797 model, which had a completely different look (square cloth with crosses, like infantry banners, but smaller than infantry banners and with fringes around the edges). The Astrakhan and Novgorod cuirassier regiments, formed in 1811, received the dragoon standards of the 1803 model (this sample was already more similar to the cuirassier standards, but the colors of the squadron standards were dark green, did not repeat the color of the regimental cloth).
    And do not forget that there were colored standards in every squadron, except for the first - in the first squadron of each regiment there was a so-called regimental standard, white.
    The Chevalier Guard Regiment had standards in the form of Gonfalon, which were very different in appearance from all other flags, banners and standards, and the Life Guards Cavalry Regiment from 1807 had standards similar to the samples of 1803, but with a wide Andreev ribbon, with the inscription "For the capture of the enemy banner at Austerlitz" (old. rus.: За взятіе при Аустерлицѣ непріятельскаго знамени).

    A mistake with the shelves of His and Her Majesties: these shelves were created many times before the date you specified in 1812. Life-Cuirassier of His Majesty Regiment (Лейб-кирасирский Его Величества полк) received this name on November 30 (November 17), 1796, earlier (since 1763) it was called the Cuirassier Heir Regiment (Кирасирский Наследника полк). And Life-Cuirassier of Her Majesty Regiment (Лейб-кирасирский Её Величества полк) until November 30 (17), 1796 was called the Life Cuirassier Regiment (Лейб-кирасирский полк), and until May 8 (April 25), 1762 it was called the Heir Cuirassier Regiment (Наследника кирасирский полк). In addition, in 1812, these two regiments were not guards. Only the Life-Cuirassier of His Majesty Regiment in April 1813 became the Guards and received the name of the Life-Guards Cuirassier Regiment.

    And about the color of the regimental cloth you specified:
    Life Guards Cavalry Regiment - scarlet (literally bright red) with yellow metal,
    Chevalier Guard Regiment - scarlet like that of the Life Guards Cavalry Regiment, but with white metal,
    His Majesty's Leib-Cuirassier Regiment - blue (not blue, because in English these two colors are called the same for some reason - in this case, as the color of blue turquoise or clear sky like "Deep sky blue" in Hex triplet #00BFFF) with white metal,
    Her Majesty's Life Cuirassier Regiment - light raspberry with white metal.

    The regiments were not numbered at that time.

    There are also color clarifications here.
    It is worth remembering that the metal of buttons for all lower ranks is not gold or silver, but yellow copper (brass) or tin, often used in descriptions as yellow or white metal.

    In the Astrakhansky cuirassier Regiment - yellow cloth, white metal.
    In the Order cuirassier regiment (Regiment of the Military Order - is its earlier name, before April 1801) - black cloth, yellow metal.
    In the Yekaterinoslavsky cuirassier regiment - orange cloth (not red), white metal.
    In the Malorussian cuirassier Regiment - dark green cloth (not black), yellow metal.
    In the Glukhovsky cuirassier Regiment - blue cloth, white metal.
    In the Novgorodsky cuirassier Regiment - pink cloth, white metal.
    In the Pskovsky cuirassier Regiment - raspberry cloth (not red), yellow metal.
    In the Starodubovsky cuirassier Regiment - there is Deep sky bluе (not blue), like His Majesty's Leib-Cuirassier Regiment, but only the metal is yellow.

    In 1812, none of these regiments were guards.
    His Majesty's Life Cuirassier Regiment became a Guards regiment only on April 13, 1813.
    Her Majesty's Life Cuirassier Regiment was not a Guards Regiment either in 1812, and even in 1825 it remained line.
    In 1817, the Guards Cuirassier Regiment appeared, but it was the Life Guards Podolsk Cuirassier Regiment, but this is a completely different era.
