Henschel Hs 129 - was a German aircraft developed to attack tank formations and used in World War II.
It used the same engines as the Me 323, produced in occupied France. Weak engines accompanied the aircraft's operational history and hampered its development. It entered into operation in 1942, at a time during the war when it could no longer count on adequate escort.
To carry out its role, the Hs 129 received heavy armor in the cabin, self-sealing tanks and powerful armament, being widely used for tactical support on the Russian front. An attempt was made to design the smallest aircraft possible, with agility similar to that of fighters. Versions were produced with a 75mm BK7.5 anti-tank gun attached to the nose.

@DEUTSCH Esta obra-prima é absolutamente incrível! Os detalhes estão perfeitamente reproduzidos — dá para perceber claramente o quanto de cuidado foi investido nela. Cada pequena parte parece tão precisa, é como uma miniatura exata do original. A atenção aos detalhes aqui é impressionante![Além disso, o HS 129 não é tão famoso quanto aviões como o BF 109, e tem sorte tão ruim que nenhum exemplar real sobreviveu. Dois exemplares sobreviveram à Segunda Guerra Mundial, mas um foi usado como material de enchimento (possivelmente) e o outro foi destruído em um incêndio há décadas.]
This masterpiece is absolutely amazing! The details are absolutely spot-on—you can really tell how much care went into it. Every little part looks so precise, it’s like a tiny replica of the real thing. The attention to detail here is incredible!(Moreover, the HS 129 is not as famous as aircraft like the BF 109, and it's so unlucky that no actual airframe has survived. Two examples remained after World War II, but one was used as landfill (possibly) and the other was destroyed in a fire decades ago.)
Damn it, I'm still better with centimeters than the British and American unit of inches.
@DEUTSCH The Gnome-Rhône engine used in the Hs 129 B3 has a nominal power rating of 900 horsepower, but in actual tests, it only achieves 700 horsepower (not 400 horsepower). Moreover, it is fitted with a three-blade variable-pitch propeller with 100-inch-long blades, rather than 93-inch ones (as recorded by the National Air and Space Museum).[O motor Gnome-Rhône utilizado no Hs 129 B3 tem um rendimento nominal de 900 cavalos de potência, mas nos testes reais, ele alcança apenas 700 cavalos (não 400 cavalos). Além disso, ele é equipado com uma hélice de três pás com passo variável, cujas pás medem 100 polegadas de comprimento, e não 93 polegadas (conforme registrado pelo Museu Nacional de Aviação e Espaço dos Estados Unidos, U.S.).]
Wo ist der Sonderkraftfahrzeug zweihundertvierundderißig zwei, mein freund? :)
@Boeing727200F Fr tho
I should know as an ex-Japan main
@TheUltimatePlaneLover zeros also don't have self sealing fuel tanks, so hitting a fuel tank on one is a death sentence
@Boeing727200F Fr tho Germany in AAB is terrifying
I'm gonna regret this but I'd rather fight with Zeroes than 109s and 190s, because at least Zekes are slow
Raidens are a different issue though
@TheUltimatePlaneLover as a victim to Bf-109/Fw-190/Ta-152/Me 262/Hs 129/He 51/Bf-110/He-162s I am offended >:(
