The \"Ta 152\"!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Ta 152\" is a special high-altitude fighter plane that was the pride of the German Air Force, which fought to the end as an ally of Japan during World War II.\u003cbr\u003eAt that time, Germany, like Japan, needed to counter enemy bombers such as the \"B-17\" that flew across continents. Dr. Kurt Tank, chief designer of Focke-Wulf, advocated that \"fighters should be war horses, not race horses,\" and the new aircraft developed based on the delicate yet bold design philosophy unique to the German Air Force was completed as the \"Ta 152\" named after the doctor. Only a few pre-production models, the \"H-0\" and the mass-production model \"H-1,\" were deployed in combat, and it is said that with their high turning performance due to their long and beautiful wingspan like a glider, they were able to compete on equal terms with the P-51D, the best fighter plane of World War II that escorted enemy bombers.\u003cbr\u003eWhat's important here is that while the Shinden attempted a comeback with a new approach, the Ta 152 pursued high performance by sticking to a more orthodox style. This is exactly why it is called the \"ultimate reciprocating fighter.\" Historically, the\u003cbr\u003eonly ace pilot of the Ta 152, Senior Sergeant Joseph Keil, was credited with shooting down a B-17.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCheck out the expressive and beautifully sculpted propellers!\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease take a look at the \"VS 9\" type propeller, which is beautifully sculpted without compromising the wide, gentle outline unique to wood and the sharp edges that cut through the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe detailed reproduction of the engine is well worth seeing!\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEquipped with a liquid-cooled inverted V-12 engine \"Jumo 213 E\".
