**** DONE: GB-39 1/48 Dewoitine D.520 – Battle for France to Battle of Britain

Just say it's a reverse pith prop so it can fly backwards.

Yes Geo, it's correct. The wheels are inclined. You can see the same thing on MS.406... Maybe a "French Tradition" ?

the wheel had a camber angle, in this manner the contact of the tyre with the ground is near with the alignment of the oleo struts. It decreases the lateral flexion of the main strut.
This camber angle is 10° on the D520, MS 406.

Steph, 82700?

Very nice Steph. Would love to see bigger pictures from you as your work is so intricate.

 

[Wayne Little]

Good stuff.

 

[Airframes]

Nicely done Steph.
Andy, 'click' on an image and they will be enlarged.

 

[Crimea_River]

I know but they are still quite small compared to the 800 to 1000 wide ones I normally see.

 

[Wurger]

Andy if you want to see them of full size please click a such pic to start the image browser. Then move the mouse cursor over the icon ( a square with an arrow ) at the top bar. Then choose ( click ) the one. The adjusted , large pic will be displayed at the full scrren. If it is larger than the screen you'll get the mouse cursor of the magninifying glass for displaying of full size.

 

[Crimea_River]
