Ha!
I like your design!
Do you have a side view that shows the jet exhaust?

I wonder how German ground crews took the burning grass fields and/or melting asphalt

Or the burning/melting tail wheel?

Nice plane! Agree I'd like to see a side-view, if you have one.

Initially it did, which is why it was changed to solid steel after the first trials: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakovlev_Yak-15

I don't know, I'd have to look it up.

(Pre-post edit) Apparently Martin does know & it did. Thanks, Martin!

They also put some sort of a metal heatshield on the bottom of the Yak-15 rear fuselage. That isn't necessarily obvious on a painted aircraft.

Those mods also went into my Heston Adder, although I tried to make the heat shield visible...
