I tried to do a new template for this one... Not easy. In fact, not successful.

 

[dewoitine]

Indeed.
I notice that the psd file is wonderful because the colors don't disruipt the background as rivets, sheet steel etc
For example, the others planes (Br693, MB152) have the colors who cover out.
I have not your competence.
My work looks like the painting not of the modelling.

OOOOO Yeah!!!

Of all our BoF aircraft, this one's me favorite!

..So, though both were outclassed by the 109s, which one stood up (stands up?) the best,
the H75 Hawk or the D520? Had I been a pilot back then I think I'd have felt safer and more
confident in the Curtis.

The problem of Curtiss is armament too poor : 4 machine-guns 7.5 mm! speed 487-500 km/h
D520 : 1 canon HS 20 mm and 4 machine-guns 7.5 mm speed 475-567 km/h

I'd like to find someone to finish this off... It's Dancat's.

The very early ones, yes. Most had six MGs.

This is me in a real one.
