It's one of the three that were 'reconstructed' in Russia in the '90s for David Price, based on wrecks recovered from Pacific islands. This was the first one done, so contains the highest proportion of original parts of the three. It is powered by an R-1830 from a DC-3.

Gorgeous, all of 'em! Not sure about the Allison Spitfire though, just doesn't look right to me. Love that scheme on the Corsair, too.
