...er, not really it's actually more Austrians! This is another unit expertly restored for me by Goya from the collection of Don W. They are painted to represent Hungarian IR 32 Esterhazy although the charging figures are AN/4 Austrian Musketeer rather than Hungarian ones.
The original brushwork on these figures (including the nifty lace work) is all Don's to which Goya has added the black lining to the straps and the yellow stripes to the trousers together with a bit of general tarting up. Zoom in and take time to admire that amazing flag painted by Don some 40+ years ago, I am in awe.

You're a lucky boy - how many battalions in your Austrian army now? If it gets much bigger Napoleon won't dare to come back to Vienna again.
I am lucky Rob! 10 units now and you’re right about Vienna…
Another super looking regiment, the Hungarians look quite superb.
Thanks Donnie!
A nice addition. I hope they get Veteran status, they deserve it.

Thanks Stephen, they certainly are old soldiers!
That flag really sets the standard! I think this might be the most attractive battalion yet.
You're right Matthew, I have to say I am really favouring them at the moment!
That flag is especially awesome. Another brilliant addition to the collection.
It’s the flag that really sets them off I think Matt.
Just can't have too much K and K infantry... Yes, it's a great flag, but in my opinion no better than your tirailleurs' fanion. It's all about style. Your flags have it. My flags get bought.....
Buying them is a sensible thing to do Nigel!
Superb, they look superb...with a great flag!
Cheers Phil!
