Looks like a modified Russian job. YAK-9 or 11? Not sure as those two were bubble tops and this isn't. Gonna be a tough one.

But whoever made this one I'm sure the Kurt Klub_Kateers will be along very quickly to point out the obvious FW heritage.

(you know, those who try to say the F8F was a rip off/ "copy" of the 190 cause one of the test piltos flew one, the F8F had a radial engine and the F8F had streamlined cowl exhaust like the F6F, er, I mean FW-190 did...

Bingo! It is the Yak-11 Reno Unlimited racer "Czheck mate"

Looks like a cross between a Yak and the Hughs H-1 racer...... I would guess some sort of Yak prototype
