I think these look excellent and are a long overdue set. I see a conversion for at least one RN Officer

For the desperate ones, who want to paint the tartan historically correct:

Needed: a very fine brush, two buckets of patience and info from these sites.

www.tartansauthorithy.com/tartan/the-growth-of-tartan/military-tartans/regimental-tartans
and
www.scotweb.co.uk/tartan/British-Army/54457

I am going to give it a try!
(Why are these MiniArt guys always making such fine subjects? Do they not realize that our stashes are already loaded????)
