This aircraft was designed and manufactured in France, where it played a key role during the 1940 campaign and in subsequent operations, including in North Africa. The D.520 became a symbol of French resistance and was one of the few aircraft able to successfully compete with the latest Luftwaffe fighters, such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109. After the capitulation of France, these planes were used by Free French forces as well as formations collaborating with the Germans. The \"over Africa\" variant refers to aircraft taking part in combat operations on the North African front, where they saw action against both Allied and Axis air forces. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    The model is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring ease of cutting, gluing, and painting. The kit includes decals for replicating the markings of aircraft operated in Africa, allowing you to recreate an authentic paint scheme from this theater of operations. Thanks to its precisely rendered details and excellent fit of parts, the model is not only realistic but also a highly satisfying build. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic aircraft model kit \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-quality plastic \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/72 \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eOperators:\u003c\/strong\u003e France, later also Free French, Vichy, Italy \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e World War II, French and African campaigns \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eRecommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e We recommend this model to aviation history enthusiasts, modelers interested in the African theater of World War II, and 1\/72 scale collectors.
