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.
Thats very true, and it is indeed interesting how the different parts of the armed forces apply regulations on it over time.
I would say as well as facial hair/hairstyles, even uniforms of the past have had been influenced by fashion of the time. WSS a case in point... those curly wigs and big coats were all part of civilian society of the time.
Then you have modern military units having some form of camo pattern. The styles used between the nations is quite interesting with the various patterns used. Of course as time goes by, these camo patterns too are subject to change.
But I suppose all fashion changes over time, or makes a comeback later. I have seen some teenagers (& a few adults!) recently sporting hairstyles last seen in the 80s!!!
Not sure why everyone is in a lather over these - they are obviously Napoleonic highlanders in a firing line, and are fully accurate as such. I think the "Thin Red Line" reference is just some misdirection from Strelets.

Well, almost...not the sporrans though, and not the Enfield (?) rifled muskets either. But 90% there as Napoleonic Highlanders.
Lather? Facial hair? Shaving....subtle, but amusing.:grinning:

Well seeing as Strelets has attached the pictures of the masters of these highlanders on their "Thin Red Line" set listing on the main page, I think that actually they were meant to be Crimean.....unless there has been a huge admin foul up? As we have said, one way or another the set has been messed up.
Fully accurate for Napoleonics......get rid of the sporrans than practically yes.
With the muskets, its hard to tell whether they are meant to be the Napoleonic brown bess, or some later model, as these are not the best sculpted.
