Yeap,The Yak-23 looks like a wast stuff.No wonder it is a forgotten fighter and not popular as Sabre is,for instance.Therefore there is a problem to find any info on it.I've had the TBU publication so far and it was the only one.I hope it was useful for you really.I'll be waiting for your pics of the model.

 

[Pisis]

Yes, it totally is!
Looking at the shape of the Jak, it reminds me of late-war Japanese kamikaze planes.

 

[Wurger]

Do you mean the Yokosuka MXY7 "Ohka"?

 

[Pisis]

Tak.

 

[Wurger]

You are right, the fuselage....remainds me this

Question is whether the Japanese sent one to Germany in an exchange of technical data, because otherwise how would Russia have got one? Russia didn't invade any part of Japanese Empire because they were too busy with Germany and then needed to regroup.

This aircraft is post war. Not to remind you that after WW2, Germany was split up into two (4, respectively) parts. Later these were known as Western and Eastern Germany... In Eastern Germany - DDR - they had Russian militery technic on a regular basis.
