Preowned, resealed, mint, some parts off sprue

The Yak-9D was a long-range variant of the Yak-9, fitted with additional fuel capacity in the wings to extend its combat radius — the "D" designation standing for Dal'ny (long-range). It entered service in 1943 and was used extensively to escort bombers and support partisan operations deep behind German lines, as well as providing top cover during the Kuban air battles. The Yak-9D used the earlier-production fuselage layout shared with the standard Yak-9 and initial production variants.
