Yakovlev Yak-3 (modified)

Modified airframe to look like a Supermarine Spitfire.
Seen only taxiing or on the tarmac, this Yakovlev Yak-3 had a false spin and modified canopy, false cannon on the wing (simulating 20 mm cannon of the Spitfire Mk V). Fairing door of the landing gear was changed from outside to inner position in order to let think the undercarriage will retract like the Spitfire one (wheels towards wingtip). But axle track is too wide !
A single radiator under the fuselage instead under the wing.
Of course, a RAF paint scheme is applied with FZ unit code (for No. 65 Squadron RAF (1939 - Dec. 1943) or 94 Sqn (from February 1944)). Polish squadron were in the range No. 3xx Sqn as said by the narrator.
