[FREE] Tachikawa-Kokusai Ta-Go Papermodel

A simple and cheap aircraft made of wood and fabric, this aircraft were designed for kamikaze purpose against Allied forces when Operation Downfall, the proposed Allied plan for the invasion of the Japanese home island kicks off, fortunately for both sides, the war ended before Operation Olympic starts.

The original Ta-Gō, powered by a Hitachi Ha-13 Ko (450hp) and could carry a 500kg bomb was destroyed in a bombing raid while the revised Ta-Gō with smaller airframes, engine, and bomb was left incomplete.



This model was made by Argwenza Kainaka (you can find his Facebook page here), he didn't specify the scale though since it was originally a scratchbuilt papermodel (but he speculated it might be 1:60 from its size). The pdf file includes the model itself and its instuction manual.
