Welcome to the Strelets Forum. Please feel free to discuss any aspect of 1/72 scale plastic figures, not simply Strelets. If you have any questions about our products then we will answer them here.
Any new Austrian troops are good to take even though these pants pose a problem. These figurines can be used for a long period from 1805 to 1815. Austerlitz is in winter, it's good!
The pants are problematic - it would be great if there could be a fix, but to fix them at this stage where it appears the masters are complete would require a delay and incur costs. For me, at this scale, it's nothing a bit of paint can't cover. Now if these were 1/32 scale it might be a big deal killer. But at this scale there is so much more positive about these gentlemen it outweighs the negative of long pants/overalls. JMO.
