The reconstruction of the units has rigorously been sifted through studies and historical researches, as regards body equipments, uniforms, and badges.Ī very maniac research has been conducted in the reconstruction of the accoutrements (ie the military equipments). The Polizia Africana Italiana (P.A.I.) and troops of the Regio Corpo Truppe Coloniali, composed by native person, portrait the Italian Colonial experience that ends with the defeat in the war. Great space has also been granted to the African war theater, with Bersaglieri, Alpini, Black Shirts and Young Fascist, Carabinieri Reali (CCRR), and all infantry Divisions like the Cirene, Marmarica, Sirte, and Tunisia ones.
