1/48 Dewoitine D-520
Tamiya kit. This model represents an aircraft at Mostaganem North Africa, in 1941. I used the Aires cockpit set which Is quite nice but doesn’t even come close to fitting the kit is was supposedly designed for. The crash pad in front of the gun sight was made by me along with brake lines and canopy sliding rails.

Great looking build of a pretty good looking plane. Nice scratch work in the cockpit. Excellent camo painting! Very nicely done Dale.
