Dewoitine D.520

26.8k RASEN1914  5.5 years ago

1:1 Historical exact replica of the Dewoitine D.520, a french fighter of the WWII.

|| Instructions below description ||

The D.520 was a fighter more combat-capable as their french competitors and could match the german fighters such as the Bf-109. It was slower than the Bf-109 but superior in manoeuvrability.
It was in service with both Free French Air Force and the Vichy French Air Force, but it also was operated by Luftwaffe, Regia Aeronautica and Bulgarian Air Force.

It was a very good aircraft with high firepower, lots of ammunition in the wing guns (the nose cannon was lacking in ammo, only 60 shots), a tight turn rate and decent speed. It's combat style is between the Bf-109 and the A6M Zero, allowing both Boom-and-Zoom and Turn-and-Burn styles.

This one is painted in the schemes of the GC III/6, Armee de l'Air de l'Armistice, Syrian Campaign 1941.

// Instructions \

  • AG1: Navigation lights
  • Takeoff: Set throttle at 100%, set flaps 50% down. The plane will leave the ground smoothly at 100mph.
  • Landing: The perfect speed to make a landing is aprox. 80mph, progressively slow down and lower flaps until the speed is 80mph or below.

I hope you like it!!
