Nakajima J10Y1 Nashika

The Nakajima J10N1 Nashika ("Pear Blossom") was one of the very last design effort by a Japanese manufacturer before the war was brought to an abrupt end by the American nuclear bombings. It used a basic Kikka airframe with modified rudder position, enlarged fin and engines moved to the rear on each side of the tail.
