Hello Chris:

As to Your Russian Napoleonics, I might be able to help out. I have an Unopened Esci Napoleonic Wars Russian Grenadiers set in front of me and they list MC7 "Dragoon Green" as the colour for the Jackets. Now this particular colour paint has been discounted but the Airfix web site suggets using colour number 101 as its equivalent. Hopefully this will get you close enough to say that the dye faded in the sun....

Cheers mate

I got the 101 paint and it can probably be used as faded uniforms althoug it is a bit too light,but thanks for the info,as it has been quite an ordeal to try to figure out the correct color.
