Dang.... From a USN perspective that sounds positively terrifying! This thing seems pretty beast to be honest.

Definitive versions of the Kikka Interceptor was to use the Ne-130 or Ne-330 engines, each developing 900kg or 1,300kg thrust respectively (1,984lb or 2,866lb).

It should be noted that for that "definitive" version a completely new and much bigger airframe was projected, more like the size of the Me-262. If we talk engines for the airframe we have here, which resembles the prototype, the Ne-20 or 20kai would be the the projected ones.
The Ne-20 was a reverse engineered BMW003 clone with some less power output. I think a BMW003 is already in the buttons somewhere so that could be an easy start.

Well, that was what the Brass wanted or were sold as a possibility. But in reality, given what was actually built, particularly with this airframe, it would have been well under the power level of the Me-262.
Still, a valid first gen jet interceptor and a particular threat to bombers.

By the sounds of things you guys have been busy doing your research and it is all very interesting not to mention appreciated.

SAS~Poltava. I'll be looking forward to your " What if " mission for this. Should be interesting to say the least.

max_thehitman. Will be nice to see the skins you make for this but you may want to hold off till the final version comes out. Been a couple of changes.

Alfie Noakes. You can hear it for yourself here but to me it sounds more like Keee Kaa. https://www.google.ca/search?q=kikka+translation&rlz=1C1MSIM_enCA700CA700&oq=K&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i60j69i57j69i60j0l2.2497j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Bomberkiller You've got me wondering now if Kikka = chrysanthemum why is this also referred to as Orange Blossom??

And a couple of teaser shots for you.

I will not create a detailed skin-template just yet. I will wait for the final version. I know there will be some changes that will effect the
final skins later on.
 All I have done for now is tweak the coloring on the skins already made available and reduced their
size to a normal 1024x1024. Created another color version for it too.
I will post them here for you to see and use - just until the final aircraft version is complete. Later on a new selection of much
more detailed skins can be painted and made available for this "Kikka".

Yo lone wolf, That's a very nice Kikka, you got. Now listen, Kikka was armed with 2x30mm Type 5 Cannon and 500kg of bombs and 800kg of heavy bombs.

[max_thehitman]

These skins are just color tests and WIPs, they will
not be the final versions. - They are all in 1024x1024 normal size.

A new and more detailed skin-template will be created when the
final aircraft is finished.

Put them into your game skins folder section.

As for the name, it in fact means Orange Blossom. The translation by bomberkiller to German "Chrysantheme" was just a mistake most likely.
(Orangenblüte = Orange Blossom)

Looking good! 

For the modelers among us, Fine Molds makes a nicely detailed 1/48 scale Kikka model kit...

[FL2070]

THANKS! This is wonderful!

[Lone Wolf]

Thanks again all.

  Max the skins look great. Thanks for sharing them and I'm looking forward to the next batch.

That's a nice looking model trent by any chance did you do it ?

I haven't built a Kikka model yet. I used to build a lot of models over the years, but I simply can't find the time anymore. I'm going to try and get a hold of this Kikka kit though. Then I'll break out the old airbrush. 

[Lone Wolf]

Ya I've built my fair share of models over time in fact I have four of Dragon's Tanks sitting on a shelf waiting for me to get to them. Gotta love airbrushes. I used to make a fair penny doing custom painting with them. Unfortunately I only ever got around to doing one aircraft themed painting in that time and it was one of my earliest.
