Prussian Uniforms 1815

Hello,

I am slowly working on building the I Corps of the Prussian army in the Waterloo campaign. I want to paint the 28th and 29th (Berg) in their white uniforms. However, I am not sure which uniforms they used during this time period. Do you all have a recommendation for these two regiments?

Thanks,

Raymond

If you go to this site (it's French) You can find uniform details for all nations in 1815 http://centjours.mont-saint-jean.com/

Through the travail of the ages Midst the pomp and toil of war Have I fought and strove and perished Countless times upon this star.
So as through a glass and darkly The age long strife I see Where I fought in many guises, Many names but always me.
So forever in the future Shall I battle as of yore, Dying to be born a fighter But to die again once more.

see here, but yes the men wore their white uniforms still. Officers in regulation Prussian uniform apparently.

Check out the painting guides on Baccus.

Every Prussian Regiment including each different battalion is shown from 1812-15.

I just realized I didn't ask the right question!! I know what uniform they wore as I did look at the painting guide. What I meant to ask was, which models would be best to use for them to help match up with what they wore.

I would suggest French Line Infantry 1812-15 NFR22

That is what I use.
