The dewoitine D510 was one of my favourite French Aircract of WW2. Although too old to fight in the ETO, they did serve in china against the Japanese. It's a stunning, beautiful mid 1930s air craft. I recall reading they had problems with the 20mm cannon, an early Hispano-Suza. It would jam if you shot it while Diving. The Rifled 7.7mm MGs would do modest damage to unprotected Japanese aircraft and would occasionally bounce off German aircraft. You have to forgive the French---the Socialists did everything they could to throttle the French Govnt to defend France. worse, was the explosive growth in air technology from 1934-1944 where bleeding edge aircraft became useless junk days into manufacture?!?

parece um bom modelo,gosto muito dos aviões da Dewoitine pena que os trem de pousos não eram retráteis
