Dear all,
I'm in the process of preparing the Saxon army for the 1813 campaign. The combined grenadier battalion (Hat set 8042) that you se here, consists of companies from different regiments. Beside them there are two Airfix infantrymen in Saxon uniform. In spite of the inaccuracies, this old set still mantains a sense of vitality which other sets doesn't have. This is why I would like to complete my Saxons with various battalions made up with the Airfix's Frenchmen. By watching the attached photos, do you have the sensation that they are compatible enough ?
The other images represent two soldeirs of the young Guard Voltigeurs ( Zvezda 8042 and Hat 8219). It's evident that the backpacks supplied by the two manufacturers are rather different in size: which of the two in your opinon is the most realistic?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Giovanni.
