Initially under-powered, the aerodynamically clean single-seat fighter’s performance was perfected by fitting it with the Packard v-1650 Merlin engine, resulting in the P-51B and D versions. In the European theater, the principal role of the P-51D, introduced in May 1944 and fitted with drop tanks, was to escort the US 8th Air Force heavy bomber formations all the way from British bases to targets deep into Germany, including Berlin and beyond. During the Korean Conflict, P-51Ds were used primarily for close support of ground forces until with drawn from service in 1953. The P-51 served with Air Reserve and National Guard units until 1957.

By early 1941, the majority of fighter squadrons were furnished with Spitfire Mk.I. Improvements were suggested by the pilots and every effort was made to maintain its performance advantages over its opponents. The main improvement was the use of the more powerful Merlin type 45 engine and a version with a mixed armament of four 7.7mm machine guns and two 20mm cannon was named ‘Mk.Vb‘. Some Mk.Vb's has slipped wing tips for better low altitude maneuverability. In 1942, the Spitfire was also urgently required for operations overseas. One of the better known versions was the North African prepared Spitfire designated ‘TROP.‘, for Tropical. To protect engine from sand, a Vokes air filter was affixed over the carburetor intake. Although the filter was successful, its large mass reduced the aircraft's speed.

More air war meant more losses as well as a basic need for more aircraft and pilots. More loses meant more pilots needed. In an attempt to increase the speed of the Bf 109G, the DB 605D engine was developed. Similar to the DB 605AS, the DB 605D's supercharger was increased in size, and again, the compression ratio was increased as well as the displacement. The MW 50 boost was retained, and as a result, the G-10 was the fastest of the entire G series. Standard equipment for the G-10 was the FuG 25a IFF, a DF loop, the tall wooden tail, the erla haube canopy, and the FuG 16ZY with the Moranne mast under the left wing. The DB 605D employed the refined cowling, enlarged supercharger intake, deeper oil cooler, and wider propeller blades all of which appeared on the G-14AS. One further difference in the appearance of the G-10 was the addition of two bulges on either side of the lower cowling resulting from enlarged oil sumps and camshaft covers. Some production models of the G-10 received wings with the normal size wheel well bulges and tires of the G-6\/14 type. These aircraft also had the long shaft, fixed tail wheel and no external trim tabs on the rudder. The extended length tail wheel was another attempt to help the pilot see over the cowl and give a better angle of attack during take-off.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trumpeter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51517921755403,"sku":"02409","price":88.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/trumpeter-02409-messerschmitt-bf-109-g-10.jpg?v=1749140606"},{"product_id":"trumpeter-02410-1-24-nakajima-a6m2-n-rufe","title":"Nakajima A6M2-N Rufe","description":"\u003cp\u003eA6M2-N Floatplane Zero The A6M2-N was the seaplane version of the famous Zero fighter.

This type was code named ‘Rufe‘ by the Americans, and it was a successful fighter.

When it first came into service it scored a number of air to air victories, but as more and more advanced Allied fighters were developed, it became easy prey to the Allies later in the war.

As a result, by the outbreak of World War II, the Luftwaffe had 336 Ju 87 B-1s on hand. The B-1 was also fitted with ‘Jericho trumpets‘, essentially propeller-driven sirens with a diameter of 0.7 m (2.3 ft) mounted on the wing's leading edge directly forward of the landing gear, or on the front edge of the fixed main gear fairing. This was used to weaken enemy morale and enhance the intimidation of dive-bombing. After the enemy became used to it, however, they were withdrawn. The devices caused a loss of some 20–25 km\/h (10-20 mph) through drag.
