VERY welcomed, and from an unexpected source. I also look forward to the Guard Infantry set of the same period from the same mfr. These look like great figures, and a great compliment to the HaT set of the same. Thanks for posting this. |

I note also that these figures are made in the Ukraine. Bravo! |

What's the best way of finding out where and when these will hit the market? |

I am just excited by them as they expand my 1805-7 options and look nice. I like the HaT figures, but these will expand the range nicely. Need some more artillery and cavalry choices now |

Per PSR, the HAT Russian Dragoons have the earlier helmet. Their Cuirassiers have the later helmet. Inasmuch as the same figures can be used for both types, my impression is that HAT figured the dragoons could be used for both for the earlier period, and the cuirassiers for the later.

Too bad they're wearing the "top hat". It seems that only a few jager units got the hat and by 1805 they were all in shakos. It is nothing that can't be fixed with an x-acto knife, trim off the the rear bill and shorten the front bill. I did that with my HaT jagers. While the HaT dragoons are wearing the early helmet, you can't use them for early cuirassier since the saddle furniture is different for the cuirassier. Also the early cuirassier had two cross-belts vs. the dragoons one cross-belt. Artillery would be great. |

I don't care if few Jager units got the top hat. Mine all got them! This is one of the most unique uniforms in the era, and I'm not gonna miss out. What the Major says about the cuirassier horse furniture is correct, and it's a very big deal, but there are other differences. The cuirassiers have gauntlet gloves, taller boots. Only a portion of them had cross belts, those being the few with carbines. I can even ignore that. Funny, the Russians, who were peculiar in so many ways, wore the cartridge belt over the right shoulder when wearing the carbine belt. All other nations wore both belts over the left shoulder. |

Not all. I believe 1806 Prussioan cavalry wore two cross-belts, as well as early Spanish heavy cavalry. |

Same sculptor as Strelets's? |

Same sculptor as strelets? IŽd say no due to the styles of the sculpts. |
