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... ;)  )

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