The masks are produced by the renowned company Eduard, well known for high-quality modeling accessories that significantly simplify the painting process and allow you to achieve a professional result without the need for tedious hand-cutting of cockpit canopies or landing gear wheel masks.

The Dewoitine D.520 is a French single-engine fighter from World War II, put into service in 1939. The aircraft served primarily in France, but was also used by Germany, Italy, Bulgaria, and Romania. It is best known for its participation in combat during the French Campaign (1940), where it was the main fighter of the French Air Force and often faced the German Messerschmitt Bf 109s.

Each element fits perfectly to the details of the Tamiya model, providing quick, clean, and very precise painting of cockpit canopies and landing gear wheels. Thanks to these masks, you can easily achieve realistic, sharp window frame demarcation lines, without paint bleeding or damaging delicate details.
