MXY-7 Ohka model 22

31.9k NecoArcBubbles  9.0 years ago

The Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka ("cherry blossom") was a purpose-built, rocket powered human-guided anti-shipping kamikaze attack plane employed by Japan towards the end of World War II. United States sailors gave the aircraft the nickname Baka (Japanese for "fool" or "idiot"). The Model 22 was a thermojet powered version. Yes, it doesn't have lots of fuel, it was made to quickly fire up the engine to gain lots of speed shortly before crashing. Also doubles as a sub-assembly if you take out the cockpit, please credit me if you use it though.

    This one is small enough to put on a plane too, in fact I'm working on building a P1Y3 bomber to carry it, as it would if the Model 22 were used operationally. @Ctracerx2
