Italeri French Dragoons 54mm

[Hairtrigger]

Hi.

Had these for some time now and fancy having a crack at them.   Very much my old dad's cup of tea in the 70s.

Anyone got any good references for the uniforms and details....  ?

What I've found a little inconsistent and the box illustration bit poor.   

Looking at some my dad did back in the day Airfix Napoleonic troops no flash and great casting compared to these.

Using different blades and still not perfect.   Is there some method technique to clean them up?

Thanks for any assistance most grateful....
