The Dewoitine D.520 holds a place in French WWII aviation history as a nimble fighter with notable service. Tamiya's 1/48 kit recreates the aircraft with careful surface detail for historical displays and modelling projects.
Historically fitted with the Hispano Suiza 12Y45 V12 engine, the D.520 could achieve around 529 km/h and was armed with a 20mm HS404 cannon plus machine guns. The model reflects these technical highlights for an accurate assembly experience.
The kit ships with a Citroen Traction 11CV staff car to broaden vignette possibilities, and allows selectable positions for flaps and canopy. The supplied pilot and officer figures help complete period ground scenes.
