spiton Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Bomber version of Yak 9. The reason was to make tubular bomb launchers. A unique solution in such kind of plane. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazontipede Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Super work on a rare bird! IIRC these were quite a handful to fly with larger loads in the aft bay. You've got a bit of an unusual example there as well. The cowling gun looks decidedly non-standard... ShVAK? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andwil Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Nice Yak. Accuracy must have been poor with the bombs dropped tail first. Andrew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Very nice. Looks suitably weathered for the tough service life it would've experienced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
