Pink is a strange cam colour - the RAF in WW2 found it s very good 'blending' colour for aircraft operating at medium-low level under light cloud. One other 'level', which relates to your second reason, is to break up a familiar outline and take the brain longer to decipher - if you look at British Army disruptive cam clothing, it not so much hides the wearer as causes him to look unfamiliar, thus giving him a few seconds advantage whilst the oppo works out what he is looking at. Compare it to huntinmg clothing, which is designed to hide the wearer - an unfamiliar shape will spook an animal.

I wonder if Ardpol would be using the same artwork than Hit Kit for the decals. Does that model has "Wanda" on both sides of the fuselage? The Hit Kit decal sheet has only one marking. That Hit Kit LVG is a kit very hard to complete. All the plastic parts are molded with a rough texture that needs to be sanded completely. All the wing ribs are crooked and needs replacement, and the fuselage needs some enlargement in front of the cockpit. Most of the smallest parts needs replacement as well, but the kit has a wonderful selection of paint schemes, a PE sheet with bulkheads and many interior details and two nicely cast resin engines. So far I've sanded the wings and tails flat and cleaned up the fuselage. I don't know if I'm going to correct the fuselage.... D.

I did an in-box review of the Ansaldo Balilla in Internet Modeler in 2000 but that review is now off the web (you can buy the CD form Internet Modeler). In ny event, the Ansaldo Balilla has all the usual Hit Kit problems and I was less annoyed with it because I knew what I was getting into by that time. It has "bald" underside flying surfaces but that's the least of its problems - a couple of cuts per rib station with a #11 Exacto knife should fix that. A lot of the finer pieces will need replacment but unless you can locate that vac kit, it's the only game in town, and Italian subjects in injection mold format are thin on the ground. True, there are Italian made Nieuports and the like but Ansaldo, Caproni etc. are less available. I think I recommended it .... conditionally! "Conditional" upon how much you want to build an Ansaldo Balilla.
