Paul Curtis
Lansing, Kansas
No major modifications were made to Paul’s Tamiya 1/48 scale French Dewoitine D.520, but he did have to purchase aftermarket decals because the originals shattered or curled. Depicting a Free France fighter after the fall to Nazi Germany, AK Interactive Olive Green, NATO Brown, and Intermediate Blue make up the fighter’s camouflage, with the bottom painted Light Ghost Gray. Paul picked out panel lines with a fine artist’s marker and pastels modeled dirt, exhaust stains, and gunpowder residue.
