The Shiny Tenth!

 The 10th (Prince of Wales Own) Light Dragoons (Hussars) completed today.


All original HH as far as I can tell.

When I was prepping these I only had one regiment in mind, it had to be the 10th!

Brought back fond memories of the Airfix 54mm kit which I had several goes at back in the early 1970's.

The 10th had various nicknames, "The Chainy 10th" - due to the distinct decoration on the officers' pouch belts, "The Shiny 10th" - due to their opulent uniforms and "The China 10th"- because like fine porcelain they were beautiful but easy to break! As these guys have a coat of gloss varnish it seemed appropriate to use "The Shiny 10th" for the title of this blog post.
