Hola Emilo,
Like the new Vistula Legion figures. I a fan of figures depicting the allies of Napoleon ,especially The Vistula Legion. I do think the grenadiers will need a bit of a repaint in part. Vistula Legion grenadiers are in the majority of cases shown with white, not red, epaulettes. (?) However, Digby Smith who has written extensively on the Napoleonic period states that the Vistula Legion painting in his book - Armies of 1812 - showing white epaulettes is an unfinished painting and that they should be red.
You pays your money and make your choice, or is there a definitive answer out there?

Hi Blackbob

Actually I have encountered many problems in documenting these Poles. In many sheets, they do not use Czapsca but Chacó with the same frontal plane. The jackets have a different cut, especially in the flaps. However, I find it normal for grenadiers to wear red epaulettes, which equates them with their French allies.
However, all help is welcome since as I said, I have difficulties with the documentation.
The trouble is that all my doubts came when I had finished modeling the figures and made the mold
