My aim is to re-fight the Battle of Santa Lucia, in front of Verona in May 1848. The unique Austrian Cavarly unit present that day was the Radezky Hussar Regiment, whose I found the uniform and here I reproduce in the first plastic pose.

In reality, the shako (above all in the period of interest) was not conic but more like a cylinder, in this changing a little from the Napoleonic period. Herewith the same Regiment with the correct shako.

After some time from this post (today 30.6.2021) I finally added one Hussar of the Radezky Regiment (Nr. 5) in fighting pose.
