Kyushu J7W Shinden

Hello!

This is the J7W Shinden. I worked pretty hard on this plane and I hope you like it! :P

Wikipedia

The Kyushu J7W Shinden ("Magnificent Lightning") was a World War II Japanese propeller-driven prototype fighter with wings at the rear of the fuselage, a nose-mounted canard, and pusher engine.

Developed by the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) as a short-range, land-based interceptor, the J7W was a response to Boeing B-29 Superfortress raids on the Japanese home islands. For interception missions, the J7W was to be armed with four forward-firing 30 mm cannons in the nose.

The Shinden was expected to be a highly maneuverable interceptor, but only two prototypes were finished before the end of war. A jet engine–powered version was considered, but never even reached the drawing board.

What Series?

Why?

I wanted to make this when i stumbled across it in a WW2 fighting game (Wings of Steel) on my phone.
