| To be honest half of building a model is construction. the other half is the part the airplane played in history. To me the history comes alive in the paint and markings. |

| Thanks guys I really enjoy building from plans except for the canopy. This particular canopy gave me fits. Besides always liking the D.520. I especially loved the history that unfolded in the paint and markings. Just glad V.A. is here for us to display our endeavers. Thanks James! |

The rudder has been painted with the French national colors and the Croos of Lraine has been added in red. The swastika was over painted with a white circle which will be seen in decals. |

The D.520 flew with the French airforce in 1940, the paint of which can be seen on the wings. Captured by the Germans the French roundels have been over painted with light blue on the wingtips. |

The history of the D.520 can be seen in the paint, as can the history of WW2. |

The oven canopy is in place which will allow painting to begin. |
