Great, now no-one else can.

With your luck. They will randomly end up being the same FSJ blue though.

I did see once long ago a napoleonic unit painted in standard british dpm. They loked surprisingly good. Same nutter did modern british in red coats too, again, oddly effective (airfix 1/32nd polythenes I think).

Imaginations. Isn’t there a clue there?

Fuchsia pink with black lace and facings.

I was thinking Foundry Nipple Pink and a random selection of cuff colours, starting with Deep Purple.

Pink was seen as quite a manly colour back then.

(And yes, I have been watching re-runs of Lucy Worsley on iPlayer. Want to make something of it?)

But do you play the Lucy Drinking Game - a shot on every change of costume?

We don't have enough room in the house for that much alcohol.

This one had me wishing otherwise, though.....

PIR 7 Braunschweig-Bevern http://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php? ... n_Infantry had pink facings. If their musicians had the at one point usual reversed coat colours then that's pretty much accurate.
