  • Trak-Tor changed the title to Dora Wings - Dewoitine D.500/501/510 in 1/32 scale

Having built the 500, it’s crying out for some AM. The prop is no good and the cockpit needs some details. No pitot. The cowling is a little crude and the radiator bath is a mix of plastic and PE that could be better done in resin. The basics are excellent however and it’s surprisingly large

Clever marketing.  The 510 is the one everybody really wants, so you market it first with markings *nobody* wants so they'll buy it anyway.  :)

 

 

Six round red balls were the cheapest I guess.  There is a bit of historical significance but I for one can paint the things on.

I can deal with all that.  The engineering of those long wings is prone to warp surfaces during assembly.  I feel they need a spar.  After all this I am still happy to have the kit.  AM markings will show up sooner than later.
