1/72 Heller Dewoitine D.520

I finished this Dewoitine D.520 in 1/72 scale from Heller in 2023. It's a very old tooled kit, with raised panel lines, thick undercarriage doors, no detail inside the wheel wells and just the seat inside the cockpit. Fortunately the decals worked fine.

It's the first (and almost surely will be the only) WWII French Air Force aircraft in my collection. As almost always my kit was built OOB, except for the addition of the antenna wire, which was made from human hair. I also opened a very small hole in the front of the main gun, located in the center of the propeller hub.

As the colours specified in the instruction sheet were somewhat generic, I searched the Internet for references and colour photographs of the full size airplane. I think that the colours I that I used represent the real camouflage colours of this airplane very well, so I'm satisfied with the final result.

Thanks for watching and for your comments.
