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.
Another company already makes British Infantry and Cavalry and a Scottish or Irish Cavalry in French service for the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion that are wearing the correct uniforms, there wasn't that many years between one conflict and the other. Russians and French would be very welcome.
Thanks for your responses. It seems to me that Strelets the dismounted French Dragoons would come closest, as PSR mentions their uniform lasted until 1750 or so. I’m not a converter by any stretch, especially at this scale, unfortunately.
Hopefully a dedicated set of 7YW French will be made. It’s not my main area of interest, but still a fascinating period.

Colin, are you aware of Kronoskaf?

This on-line bible for the SYW shows SYW French dragoons as having turnbacks so I'd disagree about using the Strelets' WSS dragoons.
The SYW French could be quite archaic in appearance - see my Wodensfield SYW French infantry in the link I gave in my first post.But even these coats, with no turnbacks, are shorter, less voluminous & with smaller cuffs than for the WSS.
Good point. It seems like trying to use WSS figures for the 7YW is like trying to use WW1 troops for WW2. In some cases you can make it work, but most of the time not.
