This might be the shortest build report ever.

The Dewoitine D.520 is a simple kit that goes together without any great fuss, and there’s just not much to write about the trouble-free assembly process.

Pay attention to the alignment, I guess? Don’t lose the little poly cap you’ll need to put in the nose to trap the propeller? Actually, that does remind me of one thing. Trim the prop spinner’s mounting pin by a few millimeters. It feels too long as molded, and it’s not like you really need more than just enough to get trapped in the poly cap.

Other than that be sure to clean up parts and test-fit and all, but mostly, blink. Because this one goes together before you realize it.

Doogs

Hi there. Name’s Matt. Or Doogs, if you prefer. Since this is an About page, let’s get straight to it. I’m 30. Married. Father to an adorable little boy, beautiful baby girl, and four dogs. During the day, I’m an associate creative director at a social media agency in Austin, TX. In my free time (such as it is), I write. Or wrote. Or try to write. Historical fiction, mostly. It’s a nice contrast to the digital content and social media strategeriness that I live with every day. I also get all interested in cars, photography, technology, politics, history, movies, and knitting. Actually, scratch that last. I can barely tie yarn in a knot.
