Well, my english is not very good...

A book "soldados de España" José María Bueno. It´s a summary of all the spanish uniforms in the history.
If you want I can write the description and maybe to scan the right page.
I´m not sure but I think that there are information about these uniforms.

Thanks, that would be great
I seem to be out of print
What years does it cover? eg 17C to 20C?
looking for the colour of the Trumper pom pom on his trumpet, officers hats and the colour of Spanish Artillery etc

Ignacio, Do you have got the book El Ejercito Español en Campaña? It is a small book of J.M. Guerrero; I think there is a guide form the Spanish Army in the Rif Campaign.

Yes, that´s another interesting book. I must look for it.

This is the template



The M soldier is a Horse artillery in 1924-1927

The colour for the whole army in Africa was khaki in 1913.
Legion and Regulares is obviously another uniform

Thanks That a great help
L is the correct uniform for this peiord, the regulars were like L but with M hat and Black Shoes.
the figures I have, has no Backpack or coatrolls.
If you find any colour pictures of the Regular it would be Great
Still need to know what colour the artillery and Tanks equipment were painted
Cheers
David

Drawing of Dionisio Cueto

H is a regular soldier (african), grupo de Regulares de Melilla (1915)
P is regular Major, 1925.

This uniform is very similar today
