Mike kindly supplied me with the Italian CDL and Italian Green and Red colors necessary for this very build (I'm assuming the HD.1 kit you are doing -- though I may be wrong -- is Eduard's beautiful 1/48 Limited Edition version of this overlooked, but elegant airplane. I recommend the kit to anyone without reservation. The markings alone make it worth the price of admission.) But the MisterKit paints appear to be entirely appropriate, though we can never know, of course, what the exact match would be. However, the green in particular seems to match the traditional Italian flag color, and I think the "white" part of the flag that makes up the lower wing surface is depicted in CDL on the aircraft, except where it appears in the personal markings, which are quite large on each version supplied with the kit.
TOM
