Michael, that actually is the site of the original maker of this mode, which already was linked by Monsieur E in the 6th post of this thread (-;

By the way, the model recolours at the download section are greyed out. Is that on purpose?

Yes, Belongs to a Squadron Leader.

If we're in the D.510 topic, may I ask for recolor? Chinese markings. I'd love to build it in this camouflage, especially because it suits my interests(Asian and Pacific theaters of WWII).

That is a Dewotine D501 which is a hoof of a HorsePower more powerful. But is the same machine.

From what I can ascertain, the main visible differences between the 500/501/510 series were engine (not a problem for us) and the props.

Replacing markings I can mostly do, but designing a 2-blade prop and larger spinner (D.500) would be out of my skill zone.

Kacper, that Chinese one DOES look appealing but the camo would be the decider. I'll have a go at it and if you hear frustrated cries coming from the direction of Australia you'll know I'm not doing well at it.

Finished this little baby up in very quick time. It was really a nice build. No formers, tab strips to speak of or anything like that. The history of birds like this really intrigue me. This aircraft was contemporary with the US P-26 and compares favorably with it.

Many thanks to Criquet and Garry (Rata) for making this available.

Here is complete build album for those interested:

Yes. I would like to see this Chinese bird as well. The Japanese also flew them!!

Paper Kosmonaut I just checked the models in the Downloads and they're exactly as I submitted them. Bear in mind I only changed the markings on the 'silver' version that appears on Pierre's website you refer to.

Fantastic quick build MS! Looks great. I'm pleased as punch the markings turned out ok.
