DoraWings has release the first test build / test sprue photos for their new tool Dewoitine D.520 in 1/32 scale.
The D.520 was a French single‑seat, low‑wing monoplane fighter of World War II, designed in the late 1930s to meet a demanding Air Ministry requirement for a fast, modern interceptor with a 20 mm cannon and good climb performance. Powered by a Hispano‑Suiza 12Y liquid‑cooled V‑12 engine, it reached a top speed of around 560 km/h and combined a robust all‑metal structure with retractable landing gear and a relatively heavy armament of one 20 mm cannon and four 7.5 mm machine guns. Entering service in early 1940, it was the most advanced French fighter in large‑scale use during the Battle of France and is often regarded as the best French‑made fighter of the war, seeing further combat and training service with Vichy, Italian, and other air forces into the early 1950s.
Details on the new model are limited, although the images provide a good overview of what to expect. Check out additional examples after the break.
