Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet. It's a rocket interceptor built by the pissed-off German Luftwaffe to take down swarms of B-17s, B-25s, and Lancasters. It was insanely powerful, but its range was so ridiculously short that you could just avoid its deployed bases and it'd be no problem at all.

The Mitsubishi J8M Shūsui, literally “Autumn Water”, used as a poetic term meaning “Sharp Sword” deriving from the swishing sound of a sword) was a Japanese World War II rocket-powered interceptor aircraft closely based on the German Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet. Built as a joint project for both the Navy and the Army Air Services, it was designated J8M (Navy) and Ki-200 (Army).
Another painting l did in 2019.
