Re: Give us your input on the makeup of the 7YW Austrians sets!
Aaah, sizing.
Yes, it's a conundrum - go for matching the old revel, or the new HaeT Prussians. I guess we will all have our choices (as we should), just guess mine was to be internally consistent across the HaeT range - that way parts can be swapped, units mixed etc.
I have a LOAD of the Revell range, but figure they are separate units, so I would not be too fussed by the height discrepancy.
Re: Give us your input on the makeup of the 7YW Austrians sets!
I don't have any of the old Revell Prussians, but I do have plenty of Austrians and they seem quite compatible with HaT's Prussians, as are Zvezda's grenadiers. Certainly within the realm of reasonable human variation, so I don't think this should be a major concern.
I would however be very happy if any separate heads/hats in HaT's Austrian sets were interchangeable with Hat's Prussians, which would be ideal for conversions since in the Reichsarmee there were quite a a few units wearing Prussian-style uniforms but with the grenadiers wearing Austrian-style bearskins.
