One thing I didn’t focus on was the flags, which is my error, it’s because I don’t use them. Otherwise yes, possibly their best cavalry so far (although I do quite like the Austrian dragoon/cheavaulger set).
The most obvious issue would be the lack of cuirass, which I suppose you might be able to sculpt on with the right patience and materials. I think that it might be quite a long-winded and fiddly thing to do, although not impossible.
Well, from 1801 to 1812, as far as I can tell from Viskovatov, Russian Cuirassiers did not wear the cuirass. I am planning to use Russian Dragoons even though the saddle cloths were a bit different.
The Prussian coat is called a Litewka, pronounced Lit-eff-kah. It's an originally Polish-Lithuanian garment. A small part of the old Grand Duchy of Lithuania was part of Napoleonic Prussia: the area of Memel.
Despite reading that word for the better part of 20 years, I've never actually noticed that it runs 'ew' and not 'we', hence my pronunciation! Every day's a school day.

Great review, the perrys are spoiling us as usual.
Completely agree.
Always nice to see new Perry kits. Fantastic!
It’s really good, combining multiple potential units into one was a great idea and they’ve done really well fitting all the options in.
Very helpful review, thanks.
Glad you liked it.
Thank you for this video, Im looking forward to starting a prussian army and was very glad plastic cavalry was released!
You’re welcome, I think we’re lucky to be hobbying at a time when these great news sets are becoming available!
Really great you are back. Waiting for more and more Napoleonics!
Thanks, it’s been a little while.
Really great review and the info sheet you get is superb,and the brigade deal is just ideal
Thank you, yep the info sheet is really good.
Nice presentation!
Thank you.
This looks to be the best plastic cavalry release from Perry. Huge variety of troop options and info plus quality flags.

A concise review as always , got my eye on a particular regiment , new Russia regiment look interesting with green facings
Thank you very much. It's hard not to want to start new things when a new release comes out.
does anybody know if you can convert the russian dragoons to cuirassiers?

Thanks for this, higher resolution than 360 would be good for miniatures though! :)
It’s uploaded in 1080p50 HD - your device might be autoplaying it in 360, my phone does that.

Not to worry, as you say it was probably RUclips finishing the background processing, you were just too keen!
