Back in the day, you just painted your British infantry white and, poof, they were Italians. |

Dear 79th PA .. the European colonial troops looked all very similiar. But "aguzza lo sguardo" (Italian game) and you'll find the differences that make the love for uniformology.

At 1/72 you'd have to look really close to see those differences. I firmly believe in the 3 foot rule. |

Oh, I understand the uniform differences. I also painted Brits as Belgians. |

Currently working on my Italains. In 15mm diffferences not that apparent. I use Tin Soldier Italians, askari and Abyssinians. |

If I can figure out how to post photographs, I will |

I have to admit that I have used my khaki uniformed Brits in sun helmets for Mexicans, US Marines and German marines; I suppose Italians will be next! |

oldjarhead this was my problem too. I took a technician and solved it. you have to past and copy your picture (that you should put on a blog) and copy adress of the image than you put at the beginning of the pasted link
