Hi, I painted the Polish Legion in 15mm. They fought in the Hungarian army against Austrians in 1848-49.
There are infantry in the early white coat and the later blue ones.
The Polish artillery crew had the same uniform but with black stripes on the facings.
All figures are from Honvéd Miniatures. You can see more photos about them here:

Hi Krisztian, Lovely work, as always. Thanks for posting. Interested in what you say about the 'early' white coat and 'later' blue ones. From my fallible memory, and without looking at any references, I thought the white coats were Wysocki's Polish Legion in the main theatre, while the blue were the other Polish Legion raised by Bem in Transylvania from prisoners of war. Is that wrong? Chris Hungary 1848 books:

Ah, OK, thanks, Krisztian. I've got the Barcy & Somogyi book but it's temporarily packed away, so I couldn't check it before I asked. |
