Kyushu J7W1 Shinden

285 MonsieurFlip  5.3 years ago

Since this is my favorite WW2 plane, I kinda needed to build it in full scale. I used 2 mods (Overload and DesignerSuite, both from Steam Launcher) to build this plane. Either way, here you go.

The Kyushu J7W1 Shinden was a short range, land based, high altitude interceptor, armed with 4 30mm cannons, made to counter the B-29 raids over Japan. It was a propeler driven aircraft with a canard based design, with the wings at the rear of the fuselage, a nouse mounted canard, and a pusher engine. Only 2 prototypes of this aircraft were built, and a jet variant of the plane was considered, but Japan lost WW2 soon after.

(Camo is not historical and is based on a custom camo from the game of WarThunder)
