Dewoitine D.520 Madon, GC I/3, 1940, a finished 1:72 model (Easy Model)

A factory-finished collector's model of the French Dewoitine D.520 fighter in 1:72 scale from Easy Model. The model is already assembled and painted, with the printed markings of one particular aircraft, number 90 of GC I/3 as it stood in 1940. A clear stand for display in flight is included. It is not a kit: the piece is ready for immediate display without gluing and painting.

The real subject

The Dewoitine D.520 was the most capable French fighter to see combat service at the beginning of the Second World War. It entered service early in 1940 and despite its late arrival with the units it proved itself in the fighting over France as an agile and well-armed machine. A single-seat all-metal low-wing monoplane with a liquid-cooled engine, it was one of the aircraft flown by many French fighter pilots.

Display and care

Place the model on the stand supplied, somewhere out of direct sunlight, which changes the shades of the paint over time. Wipe dust off with a soft dry brush or a cloth; do not clean the surface with aggressive cleaners or solvents. The printed markings do not crack or peel off the way decals can.

Who the model is for

• For collectors of Second World War aircraft who want a finished piece without building.
• For admirers of the French Air Force and of the D.520 fighter.
• As a gift or an addition to a display case or a study.

The model is supplied as a finished, factory-assembled and painted piece intended for display; it is not a kit and nothing has to be glued or painted.
