Greetings all,

In preparation of building a model it is usually good to decide on precise genome of the chosen subject.  My question from the title is related to following images from two different sources:





Based on the photo itself it is not clear if this is a "U" or a "P". But on a model it will make some important difference. Is there some more information on this aircraft somewhere? I am leaning towards a "U" simply as both sources say that it is 1946 and that seams a bit early for a "P"- the trials of this type went into 1947 as far as I know.

Also, if someone has a nice close-up photo of that gun-camera used on late Yaks (in front of the windscreen), I would be very happy to see it!

Thanks in advance,

Aleks

Hello. I dont know if this helps, but most Yak 9Ps have glass in between the canopy and tail.


Hope that helps
