The Dewoitine D.520 ended up being one of the best fighter aircraft the French Air Force had during WWII. It was running on a Hispano Suiza 12Y45 V12 motor, which produced 910hp and enabled a premier speed of 529km/h. Its armament included a 20mm HS404 cannon and two 7.5mm machine firearms for each wing. At the opening phases of WWII, D.520s fought fiercely contrary to the Luftwaffe and their pilots claimed over 100 aerial victories. Following the armistice in 1940, the D.520 had been extensively used by the Vichy Air Force plus Free French units before end of the war. The Tamiya 1/48 scale model is a faithful replica model kit with this famous atmosphere fighter.
