"Perry Plastic ACW Art use for other armies" Topic

Hello
sorry if i asked something similar some time ago bt i still have some doubts.
Being on a low budget as , probably, everyome who wants to collect and play with minis in many scales/periods, i would like to optimise on some items..I don't play ACW in 28mm but in that scale i play Risorgimento/FPW and, above all, colonial--the idea is to buy the above mentioned set or sets and use the guns for French/Neapolitans/Pontificals Armies and the limber, which are very cheap in comparison with similar items in metal, for towing artillery pieces for the above mentioned Armies plus Prussians 1870, Austrians 1859 and , above all, Zulu Wars/Boer War British….
what do you think?…could be historically correct, at least at this scale..i'm not a purist but i don't want to paint something ridiculous..
thanks in advance

Friend, do what you think is best for your needs. Obviously it would not be perfectly historically correct, but that is between you and what you want from your condensed model of reality. I would not use them with Krupp users. But that may be cool for you.

Boatloads of artillery pieces and rifles were shipped across the Atlantic to various european countries at the end of the ACW. I suggest comparing pictures of artillery and see what comes up.
I have seen Perry plastic zouaves painted up as FPW zouaves and they looked fine

The 12 lbr Napoleon ACW field gun was a direct copy of the French field piece that remained in French service (and probably elsewhere) through the FPW. It should be spot-on as a French Napoleon. The other gun barrels in the Perry plastic set, maybe not so much. Krupp breech-loaders were distinctive. The limbers should be usable, though.

thanks to everyone…so OK for the guns…and maybe for the limbers…
