DrDave Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hmm bit annoying they posted upside down but never mind... the box is sturdy and surprisingly small. Sprues all in one bag, but well wrapped and unable to move in the box. PE and masks for canopy in there too. whole package is very reminiscent of special hobby. Good detail, no locator pins. Some sprues for detail parts are a degree more refined. Tiny amount of flash. Surface detail reminiscent of the IBG PZL- tremendous! decals look amazing the prop looks a little anorexic to me. I might swap that but we shall see. impressions; it’s got bigger spats than Clark Gable. It look more french than Edith Piaf. a superb little offering. I will get straight on it after my new CSM Nieuport 21. it will be compulsory to listen to Django Rheinhardt whilst building this one!

DrDave Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 I have no refs at all for this one, which is rather refreshing. Are they NMF or silver doped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawman56 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 No worries DrDave. I found that by standing on my head, I was able to see the posts just fine! FWIW-I initially read the topic as a misspelling of "drawings". Took me 2 re-reads to realize it was "Dora/wings" I think I need more coffee.....

quang Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I would think NMF as they werere entirely of metallic construction. What a pleasant surprise! We're still waiting for them here on the continent. Quang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I figured the photos only appeared to be upside down because I'm downunder. Glad to see that's not the case! Looking forward to this one, Dave. Kev LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alburymodeler Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I hope that the upside-downess can be corrected in the build process. Hoping it is not a fatal error with the kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alain11 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 D 510 was powered by a 860 cv engine , instead of the 690 cv engine for the D500 ., armament , was different : two 7,7 mm guns for the D 500 ,one 20mm cannon ( that shot through the prop spinner ) + 7,5 mm guns in the wings for the D 510 MikeMaben and Rick Griewski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDave Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 You can tell from the sprues that they are planning a 501 and 510. Separate nose cone, spinner and prop sprues, extra upper wing blisters and slots in the lower wing for guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I Agree with the Doctor. Very nice. My kits arrived in an outer shipping box that contained the kit components as Dave describes but the kit boxes were flat, not assembled. I thought at first that only one kit was sent to me.
