    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

Hi,
I did not want to do it, quite different cockpit then D501/510, different propeller, relatively complex fuselage to place hood guns etc. But finally, I made an effort and that gives this result. Would I finish it? Soon, later or never ... we'll see!

The model corresponds to the first series of the D500 with 2 hood Vickers-MAC machine guns and 2 MAC 34 under the wings.

This Dewoitine D500 completes the D500 / 510 series.

Looking good! Love the 501 and 510 and really appreciate you doing these classic planes from a unique period in aviation.
 
Beautiful work, Gaston. :encouragement: Cockpit detail especially. What is that device that looks like a basket on the bottom of the instrument panel?
 
Thank's! It is a rotating map reader. One screen shows that empty and another one wit a map. Very common in airplanes of the time.

It looks great again JMC! I never realised what I would cause when we were discussing the D.501/D.510 back in autumn 2017 :biggrin-new:
Your models certainly exceed the expectations I had!

Cheers,

Hi Huub,

Me too, I did not think that it will drive me so far but it was relatively pleasant.
However, if under FSX I am quite satisfied, it is not too much the case for P3DV4

Cheers,
JMC
 
Hi,

The first texture for the D500. I am not really a painter. Some views and also captures under P3DV4 for which there is a native version.

Hi,
Thank's! I believe that will be soon, maybe this weekend. Meanwhile another painting that will be provided with an early model of the D500.

The last will be a texture representing one of the D500 delivered to Venezuela in 1936.

Also, a little documentation to do (sorry in French but google is your friend to translate - lol) !

Hello,

As I have no sales problem (lol), I do what I like and especially the Dewoitine D500. It is almost finished and if there is a request, I could provide a paintkit (D500/D501) with an example of texture in photoshop, this one
