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.
Again thanks for the information.
The Kronoskaf site is a real revelation.
I already had a huge stash of the old Revell sets and 2 weeks ago I bought everything I could find of the 7YW range (Revell and Hat) at my local shop (in Antwerp).
According to the Kronoskaf site the Grenadiers de France wore a bearskincap which resembles the Austrian bearskincap (no headswap needed).
I think I also can use the Revell Prusian Husars as French Husars.
Still waiting for HAT Prusian art. 7YW.
The WSS sets are a posibility.
Would indeed be nice to see Strelets opening a 7YW range.
But I think they will focus on the campaigns they already started.
These new sets may be very good (fingers crossed) and if so will fill quite a gap for mid 18th century cavalry....so a response to your calls for more cavalry for this period, donald, and from an unexpected source.
Now, I wonder if Redbox would like to make some SYW cuirassiers as well?
How useable would the Red Box British cavalry & artillery be for other SYW armies?
I respect your learning & look forward to your answer.

@donald: I am flattered that my 'learning' counts here, I'm sure your knowledge of the SYW is at least as good as mine! I suppose we will have to wait and see what the sculpts are like, and the horses as well. I am hopeful that the Fitzjames Horse set may be useable as French (and maybe other) cavalry. British uniforms of the period tended to be looser than the Prussian style, and it may be that the British Horse and Dragoon sets will be useable as Austrian (and other eg: Russian) dragoons?
There are no cuirassiers here, but it is all a step in the right direction, I hope.
