Did these guys wear the tall plume on campaign or pack it away? I am under the impression that it was only worn as part of the 'parade' dress. I am painting up a commission for a friend and the Front Rank Russian hussars do not have the tall plume. And no I don't want to add one. LOL . Thanks all. |

Can't say for sure but Russians do seem to like those plumes in battle paintings.I like them on my figures if they had them often painting a dress uniform rather than battle uniform. |

Guess our Croatian Russian wil know…
But if the figs don't. Why bother. |

Leonov, Popov & Kibovskii do not give any indication that the plumes would be removed, and I would be very surprised if that were the case. I'm with frog here--don't sweat it. That said, Russian Guard coverage in general is not great and would be a great opportunity for a 28mm manufacturer. (hint, hint  ) |

"Croatian Russian" …. actually more Anglo-Scots-French American. "On campaign" : packed away …. however, on a day of an expected battle (such as Borodino), they would wear the plumes. Really, I'm with JC Frog and Jeffrey – don't sweat it. |

Why not ask Front Rank and see if they have any info to back up their decision not to have the plumes on their figures? |

Who reads ruski… And has tons of docs… If you want put some plumes. Miss some already shot away.;)
The pb esp in 28 mm is to make them very similar otherwise it would be worse than not having any. |
