Serbians revisited - Balkan Wars

Stating I didn't need any Serbians in winter dress was a major mistake of mine. Of course I do.

Not only were some of the 1914 and 1915 battles fought in cold months - so was at least the first Balkan War! Serbian infantry in coats is very welcome for that conflict, too.

Thanks to Strelets, we now have Ottoman troops in Arab headgear. I take it the uniform was the same from 1909 on, so fine for 1912/13, as is the fez.

I won´t start on what could fill in for Bulgarian infantry after being rebuked the last time I did so. But here are some conversions of a creative collector on show some years ago, including Austro-Hungarians as Romanians:

Any further ideas? Zouaves as Montenegrins? Regards, Pa
