My Dewoitine D.520 captured by the Regia Aeronautica in progress and finished!
My reference.
The kit itself has not a good quality, but it's very simple and it has an interesting decals sheet.
I won't spend lot of time on the interiors since I plan to keep the canopy closed. Probably I will save the Falcon's canopy for my Hasegawa kit 🙂
I just added safe belts to the seat.
Lot of putty needed!!!
Filling...Sanding...Filling...Sanding...
Priming...Filling...Sanding...
With my colours reference.
First layer
Applying white strips...
Lots of masking tapes around 🙂
Two fatal errors in a row 🙁
1) Misterkit inverted the colours in the "14" decal
2) I inverted the decal on the tail ?
Anyway, the model is just for fun, and I did already some errors, so... no problem!

A bit of weatheing ?
Close to the finish

Moreno BaruffiniThank you Guy! Yes, it's an interesting topic: the Regia took many D.520 because it's cannon was more effective than the Italian guns against the Allied bombers.
Some dewoitines were also repainted with Italian colours: maybe I'll work also on these subjects. (In the next years... 🙂 )

Moreno BaruffiniDear all, I call this model finished.
Non one of my best, many errors, decals wrong...But I learned a lot, and it made me buy the book concerning the French planes used by the Regia 👍🏻
