OverDhill Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Can anyone identify this plane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kira Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I'd say it's Russian due to the center cannon with off center MG, well, assuming so. That's a setup that's typical of WWII Russia as far as I've been able to determine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squawk Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Definately a Yak series. I'm familiar with the A/C and the wing landing light on the port side. (skinning issues =P ) Looks like a Yak-9 or a Yak-9 of some variant. A Yak-1b and Yak-7 have a pronounced chin scoop. The Yak 3 has no scoop, and 2 cowling MG's and there appears only the one cowl MG firing. The Yak-9 and the Yak-9 D use the same model so that is impossible to tell by looks, the same with the Yak-9 M and the Yak-9 DD. My wager is on a Yak-9 M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
