The lower front fuselage has had a block of balsa glued in place and sanded to shape. |

The lower rear fuselage is left unfinished until the wing is fitted. |

The fuselage is finally together, planked (ala DD) and rough sanded. |

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. |

Digging through my collection of decals I found the French roundels I needed from markings for a Frnch Ju 88 Bomber. |

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

A good example why I always make three copies of the plans I build from. I cut the formers and ribs from the plans. |

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. |

| After spending time going over the plans I realized I would have to modify the building method without having to change the parts a great deal. |

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. |
