	Nakajima Kikka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kikka was designed in preliminary form to use the Tsu-11, a very crude jet engine that was little more than a ducted fan with an afterburner.
		By Summer 1945, the Kikka project was making progress once again and at this stage, reflecting the deteriorating war situation, the Navy changed the role of the aircraft to "special attacker", the term reserved for kamikaze weapons.
		The main landing gear of the Kikka were taken from the Mitsubishi Zero and the nose wheel from the tail of a Yokosuka P1Y bomber.

	Nakajima Kikka by Francisco Soldan (Fine Molds 1/48)
		The Nakajima Kikka was the only Japanese jet plane of the Second World War (the Kugisho Okha type 22 had to be transported by a Mitsubishi G4M BETTY).
		Nevertheless, the Ne-12 could not give the anticipated push, and the official interest in the Kikka began to diminish because it seemed that it would not be possible to be solved the requirements of benefits on time.
		Another prototype was almost ready for flight and nearly 25 other Kikkas were in Nakajima’s factory in various stages of assembly.

	Nakajima Kikka (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The Nakajima Kikka (Orange Blossom) was a twin-jet fighter based on the German Messerschmitt Me 262.
		The overall configuration of the Kikka was quite similar to that of the Me 262, but the Kikka was somewhat smaller than its German counterpart.
		It was decided to switch the Kikka to the Ne-20, and since it now appeared that the performance requirements could be met after all, the project moved forward with greater rapidity.

		The Kikka (“Orange Blossom”), designed by Kazuo Ohno and Kenichi Matsumura, was smaller and less capable than the Me262, but within Nakajima’s capabilities to design and produce.
		Anywhere from a dozen to 45 pre-series Kikkas were in various states of construction (the numbers vary by source, probably depending on how parts for unassembled Kikkas are counted), but only the first flew under Japanese control.
		As an attack bomber, the Kikka was to have a top speed of 440 miles per hour; only slightly faster than the best Japanese piston-engined aircraft and considerably slower than the fastest American fighter to see action over Japan, the P-51H Mustang.

		As of the project study Me-262 to middle of 1944, the high Japanese command analyze the factibility of employing a reactor of similar characteristic, as of the aeronautic Japanese development that reigned in those moments.
		Without place to doubts the influence of the Messerschmitt 262 in the project was important in the development of the Kikka, adopting a final model 4/5 smaller in its dimensions of the original airplane.
		When we incline for the Kikka of American brands, not there was left to the market the Czech injected kit of MPM, but of any form to been a model to enjoy.

	Kikka
		The project began in September 1944, when Nakajima was entrusted with the development of a jet powered signal seat bomber.
		Designed by Kazuo Ohno and Kenichi Matsumura, the aircraft was to be able to deliver a 500 kg bomb at 700 km/h with a range of 900 km as well as having folding wings to enable it to be hidden in caves and tunnels.
		At the same time 18 other Kikka aircraft were in various stages of production, including the two seat trainer "Kikka-K".

	MPM's 1/72 Nakajima Kikka "Upgraded Kit"
		The Nakajima Kikka was to be Japan's first jet fighter, and while it did enter production, only one was finished before the war ended (although several, including the surviving example at NASM, were close to being completed).
		Since the Japanese surrendered the day before, this was to be the last "flight" of the Kikka, and since Allied jet technology was much more advanced, interest by the Occupational Forces was minimal.
		If you want to put a Kikka on your shelf, this will be the kit to get. While it may take a bit of work to clean up, the added resin details really give this kit some extra punch and you'll end up with a nice example of Japan's first jet fighter.

	Fine Molds 1/48 Kikka, by Ben Brown
		As the design progressed, the Kikka’s mission changed to that of a bomber, with weapons to be carried on pylons just aft of the nose gear, the same configuration used on the Me-262.
		The Kikka had a wing span of 39 ft 9 11/16 in and was 26 ft 7 7/8 in long.
		By late war, Nakajima was often painting the cockpits of their planes the same color as the exteriors to save time and resources.

	MPM 1/72 'Kikka', by Carmel J Attard
		Way beck in 1944 the Kikka was destined for the role of a close air support bomber and the wings were designed as a foldable type in order to be accommodated on aircraft carriers.
		The 1/72 scale model of the Kikka is released by MPM of the Czech Republic.
		References are scarce and do not dwell upon the Kikka’s interior, so as far as this goes I had to contend with the extra set of interior walls, seat parts which are supplied in resin.

	The Messerschmitt Me-262 Schwalbe / Sturmvogel
		The Kikka looked enough like an Me-262 to be mistaken for it, though its rear fuselage was distinctively different, not tapering towards the tail, and its empty weight was about half that of the Me-262.
		The Kikka had folding wings, apparently to permit concealment in caves and the like, since whatever carriers the IJN had were quickly finding their way to the bottom of the Pacific.
		Other variants of the Kikka were planned, including a two-seat trainer, an unarmed reconnaissance aircraft, and an interceptor with twin 30 millimeter cannon.

		Although it was dubbed a "Special Attacker", this writer believes that the Kikka was not actually intended for kamikaze attacks, except in extremis (i.e., if the pilot were wounded or the airplane was damaged, and could not return to base).
		The Kikka taxied for a long time before it gained enough speed to lift off the ground; the flight itself lasted just 20 minutes, and the aircraft was never taken above 2000 feet.
		Unfortunately, the rocket bottles were not installed at the correct angle to lift the Kikka off the runway, and after the rockets burned out, the pilot aborted the take-off and crashed into the rough ground beyond the runway’s end.

		he Nakajima Kikka was the only World War II Japanese jet aircraft capable of taking off under its own power (the jet-boosted Kugisho Okha 22 had to be carried aloft beneath a Mitsubishi G4M BETTY mother ship.
		The National Air and Space Museum's Kikka and an assortment of extra components are all that survive of this ambitious program.
		The Museum staff believes that the airplane was assembled from parts of the 25 pre-production Kikkas under construction at war's end.

		Aircraft: The "Kikka" is the Japanese produced 'copy' of the German Me-262 and was the first Jet aircraft in use by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Force.
		Both aircraft are in overall dark green upper and light grey lower colour scheme, the only difference between the two aircraft is the serial number for Kokutai 724 and roundels (one having larger white border than the other).
		For this reason, I don't think it is advisable to convert an existing Me 262 to pose as a Kikka, otherwise you will have a model overscaled in length by about 3cm and an incorrect conventional canopy.

		The Mitsubishi Nakajima Kikka was Japan's first jet-powered aircraft.
		Patterned after the German Me-262, the Kikka airframe was noticeably smaller and more conventional in design, with straight rather than swept wings and tail surfaces.
		The triangular cross-section characteristic was less pronounced than ME-262, due to smaller fuel tanks.

	Fine Molds 1/48 Nakajima Kikka
		As part of their wartime alliance, Nazi Germany supplied the Japanese with the plans and data for the Messerschmitt Me262.
		Nakajima was given the task to develop a single-seat, twin-engined jet fighter with folding wings that could be stored in a tunnel or cave, that was capable of carrying a 500 kg or 800 kg bomb, and that could carry out suicide attacks against approaching enemy ships.
		The resulting aircraft bears a strong resemblance to the Me262, though embraces a simpler approach to construction given that it was being developed under duress in 1945.

		The other 7 planes are fighters and comprise a Kawanishi N12K Shindenkai (George), a Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden (Jack), a Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa (Oscar), a Nakajima Ki-44 Shoki (Tojo), a Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate (Gale), a Kawasaki Ki-100-1 Goshki, and the Kawasaki Ki-100-2 Goshki.
		The last two were developed from the Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien after a mating a radial engine with the airframe.
