All, I am painting up some Blue Moon 18mm FFL for a friend. The particular figures he sent me are not wearing the classic overcoat, but are in what I take to be undress whites. Would I be correct in painting the entire figure white and then adding details, or is there a short, blue jacket worn by the classic "Beau Geste" era Legion?

These should be painted all white.

Thanks, that is what I thought, but I didn' want to appear to be taking the easy way out unless it was correct.
