Ansaldo "Balilla" A1 (Polish and Mexican Version)

Beautifully executed resin kit of this famous Italian fighter.

You may have followed the kits development over the last two years and have seen photos of some of the exquisite kit parts, trial decals etc, leaving you in no doubt as to the kits quality and accuracy and I'm delighted to say that I am now able to take pre-orders for this state-of-the art multi media kit!

Master patterns and photo-etch has been designed, drawn and created by Dutch master modeller Ron Kootje and artist Auke Elsinga. Trust me - you will never see a more complete kit..

Many thousands of hours have been spent by a team of nineteen individuals and state-of-the-art companies on it’s development.
The Balilla is based on actual factory drawings and extensive study of references, including records of the two surviving examples in Italy with photo references supplied by Alberto Caserati and Szymon Grzywocz, with technical assistance and beautiful artwork from Juanita Franzi and material from Colin Owers.
All parts have been meticulously hand crafted or printed and refined using the latest cutting edge 3D print technology, with assistance from Gaspatch Models.
