Ok
gentlemen, this is not a plastic model, not artwork too, but a CAD definition of
what could be a Dewoitine D520 at 1/24th scale.
How
did this started ? First I am consultant in a French software company, leader in
the PLM (Product Life Cycle Management) area, so it’s my job using the CATIA
software in particular. One day I had to update my capabilities for
surface creation, what a better exercise than creating real curves and surfaces
.
So
I started to design a part of the fuselage of a D520 at real scale. But being a
plastic modeler, little by little I continued this during my free time, at night
at the hotel (I travel a lot), then at night at home watching TV, then during
the week end, well finally it makes a long time I have not done real plastic
modeling to create this totaly unuseful virtual plastic model.
And
this is where I am today, the lofting surfaces are finished, and the virtual
plastic parts of the wing are done. Well I will finish the outside, and I think
I will not do the cockpit inside, physical plastic models are waiting in there
boxes.
