Pimp the Sultan of Brunei's ride (Dewoitine D500)

[proditor]

I got bored waiting rfor the paint on the Super-Poli to cure.

So, this is a SMER 1/72nd scale Dewoitine D500.  Going to be getting an additional wing, more guns, and appropriate markings to hang around during the Spanish Civil War.

Pic 1, what I've managed to slap together so far.



Pic 2, got the cockpit done and buttoned the sucker up.

Your second wing is in the mail. Looks like a good project. It's an elegant little warplane

Looking at the kit's wing, you might make the (wider?) D.500 wing the TOP wing, with the (skinnier?) J2F wing as the bottom. I'm sure your muse will guide you correctly.

In a nutshell, thanks to Sequiaranger, I have an awesome upper wing now. 

As to the armament, it currently has the two cowl 7.7 mm MG's, and the 2 underwing 7.5 mm MG's.  I'm thinking of adding a lewis gun on the top wing for sheer overkill.

Thoughts?

Here's where we are now:
