As we already mentioned in a previous post, not all Russian infantry regiments had uniforms green. Some, like the Kievsky Rgt had uniform red, with yellow lapels and cuffs. So, even chromatic change the field of battle, two battalions of the Zvezda I painted with the colors of this regiment.
I also made a few changes: I replaced the pic with the musket figures in the knee to compensate for the reduced presence of pikemen in the box (only 3!) And I became an infantryman in the standard-bearer for the second battalion.
The flag is from the volume of the osprey on infantry troops of Peter the Great, which is derived from the same information on the uniforms.
Next "Russians in the red artillery Zvezda will be great, currently in preparation ...
As we have already noted in a previous post, not every russian infantry rgts wore green uniforms. Someone, like the Kievsky rgt, wore red uniforms with yellow turnbacks facings. So, I have painted 2 btg from Zvezda miniatures with this pattern. Moreover, I have made small changes with some figures, exchanging muskets with pikes in some kneeling figures and trasforming a fusilier in a standard bearer. The flag comes from the Osprey about Peter the Great's Army (1) Infantry so like the informations about uniforms.
Next "Russian in red" coming will be the fantastic artillery from Zvezda, actually in preparation...
