Yakovlev Interceptor

[Part of my scaled WW2 series - All aircraft built to scale, with accurate weights, speeds and flight characteristics to the original.]
Cannon shamelessly stolen from u/M4A4Firefly
The Yak-9 represented Russia's more powerful engines framed to a strong, proven metal body, creating one of the finest Russian fighters. Later variants armed with powerful cannons proved to be strong interceptors, providing the pilot landed his shots.

@Weaverfish thx
@MrDoolittle I'm working on jets after the last interceptor, after that, sure!
Could ya make a p-40?
@Weaverfish XD no problem, the design is nice anyway ^^
@Deadly8Nightshade Yaks were pretty unstable. I couldn't stabilise this if I wanted to. Getting the correct weight and fuel positions, while making sure it flies level on a stable cruise PLUS landing elevation needed... Not fun :( sorry.
Not very stable :p
