On the SYW French infantry figure they  have a cartridge belt defined, but when looking at the front of the figure near it's left shoulder their appears to be further detail I don't think it's a strap.... just wondering what I paint it as?  Thanks Paul

Yes, it's a strap. Blow up the figure in the catalog. 

I did that as well and it is painted as a strap, but couldnt find it on Kronoskaf or larger figures ie Front Rank. 

Just took a look at my figures, its actually the edge of his jacket and separate the neck cloth/shirt,  Wow amazing detail on these figures

Good eye!
