The Ansaldo A.1 Balilla was a key part of the 1920s era with the Poles flying quite a few of these. I had never been able to find a 1/48th scale kit of this aircraft.

Thanks to the WW I SiG in Telford I obtained the Karaya Ansaldo A.1 Balilla resin kit.

Great details but still a resin biplane. Lucky for me there are a couple of posts on the Internet regarding this aircraft and were of great help

Thanks Gil

The supports are wooden sections.

I sanded toothpicks flat on both sides and drilled holes and attached the rigging wires. I have submitted a build article to Hyperscale. Hope to see it .

Cheers Bill
