I like it! A Japanese version of "Reichenberg".

Your latest two pics did not come out on the site (at least not in my computer).

Honourable Gentleman asks, "would it need them if it was not intending to return?" 

Lovely model!  Looks the part.

That is nice

Nice-looking!

But this is a "ramjet" and needs air flowing quickly through it already, in order for it to work. So it either needs to be towed into the sky to get it started, or have detachable RATO units, etc. Remember, the V-1 had launching rails and/or was carried and dropped by a mother aircraft.

Oh! (second look), I think I see RATO units underneath---forget the above!

Yes; i put a RATO unit under the fuselage, as the Kawanishi Baika. This comes from the kit of the Baka on 1/48 of Italeri.
