It's a Russian Yak-3 fighter from WWII.
a spitfirosky? ;-)
Looks like a Yakovlev Yak 3M built in the nineties using the old drawings and most of the original tools and jigs but fitted with an Allison V-1710.

Yak-3 ?
P39 Aircobra
Here's alink to a YouTube video of the aircraft:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFXRAcL9LXI
Sorry, I was wrong. Its a Yak-3UAhttp://www.white-100.com/index.html
YAK-9M, recent construction. For one thing, it's got an Allison V-1710 instead of the original Russian Klimov engine.We've got one flying locally; on the small side for a WW2 high-performance fighter, but it puts on a great show.
That would be another aeroplane Theo.
