New Mikoyan Mig 9 skin

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-9 (Russian: Микоян и Гуревич МиГ-9) (not to be confused with a late development of the MiG-3 also called "MiG-9") was a first-generation Soviet turbojet fighter and attack aircraft developed in the years immediately after World War II.
The MiG-9 was developed from the I-300 (also called the izdeliye F (model or product F) by the OKB) prototype which first flew on April 24 1946 by test pilot Alexei N. Grinchik. The I-300 became Russia's first pure jet powered fighter only by one hour. The Yakovlev Yak-15's first flight was mere minutes following the I-300's first flight.
