thierry laurent Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Hi folks, For your information, the French magazine "Ailes" number 10 was recently released and it contains a 35 pages article about the plane. This was written by 5 authors including Waroff and contains a list of all small changes and variants along the production with pictures, technical manual views, scale plans and so on. Such material is currently used by Dora Wings to develop their new kit. However it is invaluable for the old Azur kit. Highly recommended! https://www.avions-bateaux.com/produit/magazines-les-ailes/5324 coogrfan, Jim Mason, Borsos and 6 others 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkhorn Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Is there any mention whether the scale plans were based on the factory drawings which have been scanned in high resolution and made available at https://archives.haute-garonne.fr/ ?

Borsos Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Looks interesting although too late for my Azur kit build. But I’ll definitely pick up a Dora Wings Dewoitine… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
