The Dewoitine fighters were one of the few types which gave a good account of itself in the Battle of France - the Morane-Saulnier and Bloch fighters were much inferior to the Messerschmitts.

Thanks Charlie, what a great tip!

I just read over the first part of this log and agree with the other members that your Dewoitine build was a very credible first effort. Wing fillets especially can be a very daunting task. Keep up the good work!
