Dewoitine D.520 question

[al49]

Hi,
I started very recently to build a model of the D.520 and I will start a thread in the relevant session as soon as I have some picture done, but I have some problems in understanding how the cockpit was arranged.
So I tried to purchase a copy of this magazine

but I was unable to find one so far.
Does anybody have one copy and can help me with pages concerning the cockpit?

Many thanks in advance
Alberto

I don't have the magazine but this, from Docavia's book on the D.520, might help

A picture source ... the net.

Once again Wurger provides so much information that Gary is now building this cockpit as well!

The horror!

Many thanks to all but specially to Wurger for the amount of information!
In your opinion, was the cockpit floor only partially existing?
I got two resin parts, one out of the box and the other from the Contact Resine kit.
I did a scan of the two parts.

The first is from Azur, the second is CR.
Which one is correct in your opinion?

Again, many thanks
Alberto

 

[Wurger]

I think the one of the CR is the proper one. However it needs to be a little bit corrected because the D.520 cockpit floor wasn't it in the literal sense. It was a kind of structure integrated with the inner parts of the fuselage frame.

 

[al49]

Fine, that's the confirmation I needed!
That's also mean that I will have to take care a little bit of fuselage sides, behind the "floor", in case it will be somehow visible.

Nope.. rather not too much can be seen there.

This picture is the best answer I could have wished to receive to my question on cockpit floor, many, many thanks.
