Hey guys,
I've observed that the Perry Brothers do not make British infantry with the iconic tricorne hats and that, rather, the only thing resembling them are the continental infantry.
I suppose that as uniforms were dictated more by fashion than nationality it is likely that were I to paint the continentals red instead of blue, they'd look like redcoats... but do any Dakkaites have experiences of these models that might suggest otherwise?
What had initially put me off was the little bit of cloth or something that's on the front of each man's tricorne (I thought it might be a revolutionary rosette of some type) but I notice that the officers on the Grenadier blister that arrived today (woo!) have the same thing, sort of looks like a little bow... Is this acceptable on an enlisted man?
Thanks... hopefully with this information I may be able to raise a nice little skirmish force for a diorama
Edit: Figured I should include a picture.
