Description
The Yokosuka Ohka was a manned kamikaze attack aircraft used by Japan in WWII. The Model 11 (K-1) was the first operational version, rocket-powered and carried under bombers, designed to be piloted directly into enemy ships. The K-1 variant specifically was a wooden trainer with no engine or warhead, used to train pilots for the real thing. The Model 33 was a later development, featuring a Tsu-11 motorjet for extended range. It was larger and heavier than the Model 11, and aimed to improve glide time and operational flexibility, however it was developed too late in the war to see action.
I have posted 2 variants, the K1 Trainer and the Model 33. Both come with their own stands and are relatively easy and cheap to print. Especially with the K1, be careful removing the supports from the landing skid. A knife or pliers can be used for easy assembly.
