Here You are one of Yaks of famous 9 GIAP, 1943. Nose decoration is unusual and interesting, IMHO  Shocked. Sadly, the tactical No of a/c is unknown  Undecided.

Great! It resembles vaguely to a sharkmouth with rounded teeth! Shocked
Thanks for sharing it

More reliable, IMHO - it's the non-standard 'continuation' of a/c undersides' blue colour.

There is an oblique line vaguely resembling the lower lip in the lower part. To my eyes, it looks to separe the "mouth" from the camo on the lower side. (isn't there a smiley with a magnifying lens?)

Hi, Smiley
have a look to this

It looks interesting, it looks to have an unusual shape painted under the nose.
