"Roter Falke"

"The Roter Falke, a squadron notorious for its skilled pilots and high performance fighter, they work great at shooting down Bombers as well as Fighters, their assigned plane, the Solzberg So-20 Schwalbe, is a great all rounder, and with its radar, they have the advantage in battle, the performance of their planes are not to be underestimated either, high speed, high maneuverability, ease of maintenace, making it probably one of the best fighter Trislandia have in WW2, coupled with the best pilots Trislandia have, the squadron became notorious as one of the best in the world at the time"


Introduction

The Solzberg So-20 Schwalbe (Swallow) is Trislandia First Generation, Twin Engine, Turbojet, Fighter, designed with performance and ease of maintenance in mind, the Schwalbe is easy to manufacture yet still built strongly by using many ways such as the use of a rigid yet lightweight space frame with thin aluminum sheet, interconnected wing spar, giving higher rigidity while maintaining lighter weight

The use of the powerful, simple and reliable Höhen Turbostrahltriebwerk 100 (HTB-100) Eight Stage Axial Compressor, Two Stage Turbine with Six Axial Combustion Chamber, Turbojet Engine, propelling this plane close to 900km/h on level flight, its maneuverability is not to be underestimated either as the space frame gives it enough rigidity while still maintaining its lightweight, giving a good rigidity and strength to do what otherwise a very demanding high turning rate in a maneuver, its guns were 2x 20mm gast gun on the wing and 1x 30mm gast gun on the nose, both of which are firing 5 Mine Shell followed by 3 AP rounds, making it a lethal weapons to both fighters and bombers

    @TwistedWarshipDude Nice! Good to know someone else uses purple too. In my case, besides the roundels, I just have purple wingtips

    I find the contrast between the red and purple an interesting choice, but I think it was pulled off quite well here. Awesome build! Really gives 262 vibes!
