Since I couldn't find any documentation for that thing sticking out from the right wing, I deleted it and filled the empty space with a glue and putty mix. Does anyone know what that was intended to represent? |
I have no idea what it is, and I've gone through three of my Soviet fighter references. A mistake?
If anyone is interested, the livery of the IXO Yak-9 is of Snr Lt Ivan Nikiforovich Stepanenko, 4 IAP, Bryansk, July 1943. This plane is featured on the cover of Osprey's Aircraft of the Aces 64, "Yakovlev Aces of World War 2."
