Using a glue stick provides firm adhesion, but peelability. The plans called for 1/32 balsa for lightness but I used 1/16 for strength. |

I then glue the printed images to 1/16th balsa and cut thm out. Of cours ribs and some others must be done twice. |

Looking over color schemes on Wings Pallet I decided to build a D.520 that had been recaptured from the Germans in 1944 and was flown against against the Luftwaffe by Free French Forces. |

ver since building the Bloch MB 152 from plans I been searching foe plans to build the Dewoitine 520. When I found these plans by Pres Bruning I desided to blow them up to 1/24th scale and build. |
