*IMPORTANT - The cockpit is a bit unusable and I didn't want to shove a camera in front of it, obstructing it even more. ALSO, pull up while taking off
This is the Rostock Suiga from the game, The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces. The Suiga is a multirole fighter aircraft manufactured by Rostock Iron Works and was also their primary fighter aircraft before being replaced by the Sanka Mk.B.
The aircraft is heavily based on the Focke-Wulf Ta-152 fighter, this would be
even more evident if I could replicate the plane's default color scheme. It may also pull influence from the Junkers Ju-87 "Stuka" as per the gull wings
Notable Differences between this aircraft and the one from the game
-This aircraft has two guns as opposed to seven
-This aircraft has two sets of props up front for the sake of replicating the ingame speed of the craft

@MisterMasada Can I Use it for Building Mc.202 Folgore ?
@LaggAttack Yes.
If this aircraft is based on the ta152 then the sanka is based on the Shinden right?
@Brields95 Oh, in that case it's still not the SE-5, unless the SE-5 is actually just a Suiga with two-props. I set this plane up like this because I wasn't satisfied with it's speed. Regardless of all of that it's nice to see another fan of The Sky Crawlers.
The SE5 is the LAST plane you unlock. It is the only plane featuring the tractor countrarotating propeller layout. The story goes that after Cheetah shoots down his friend in the last battle of the game, he is offered a deal to switch to Lautern, in exchange, he gets the hottest plane in the skies. He takes on a new name: Teacher, thus becoming the main Protagonist in the animated movie.
@Brields95 Is this stuff mentioned in the light novels or manga series? If so, I should look into them. Because I was trying to recreate the first plane you get access to in the Innocent Aces video game.
That's actually a Lautern Industries SE-5.
