    "Look at the illustration,the grenadier is of the burbonnois regiment,crimson facings which shows the piping on the collar."

    Hi Daniel, once again the Osprey book is wrong, not about the pipings maybe, but about the regiment name. This is a Soissonnais grenadier, Bourbonnais had white lapels piped black. THEY WANT TO TURN US MAD, DANIEL:ROFLMAO:

    Lol they are!.
    Perhaps the Author intention's was portraying the Burbonnais Regiment with its Crimson facings ( see table 1776 Regulation) but with the new long coat tails and changes.
    Don't forget that since it was a time of transition and garments had a lifespan (coats had 3 yrs) the regimental depots received cloth in the new facings to do the repair or alteration on their coats, so i am trying to give the author the benefit of the doubt regarding this color plate .
    Or may be a printing error.

    Thanks, Daniel! Ah, yes, Miniwelt! I remember how excited I was, when I first saw their catalog, the Seven Years War Prussians, I hadn't seen anything like them to that time.

    You've done an excellent job of kitbashing, really great conversions!

    Prost!

    Hi Daniel,
    A great marriage of so many parts and no obvious signs of the joins. Along with everyone i do admire your various whites.
    Very well painted my friend.
