Zouaves

1. Italeri Zouave that I am working on .I built up the pants as they were far too narrow.Italeri are always dissapointing in some ways.They have opportunity to create terrific stuff but invariably get it wrong.That said they have done some brilliant stuff. I just didn't understand why they did Zouaves without the typical voluminous pants
