Why this kit matters

The Dewoitine D.520 and Messerschmitt Bf109E were two of the primary fighter aircraft involved in the Battle of France in 1940. The D.520 was one of the most modern French fighters at the time, while the Bf109E was the Luftwaffe's main fighter. This set allows you to recreate a diorama depicting the aerial battles that took place during this pivotal period of World War II.

This model kit allows you to build two iconic aircraft from the Battle of France in detailed miniature. It captures the essence of early WWII aviation and provides an engaging building experience for modellers. The finished models are great display pieces, celebrating the history and engineering of these aircraft.

How to use it
