The Ju-87 is a 3/4 scale, homebuilt, was based in Kubinka back then.
The Yak-3/7/9-esque "warbird-ization" of Yak-50 trainers (that is, giving them some WW2 livery) is common. Same with the Yak-52 two-seaters. Don't know what else to say about that.
Yakovlev themselves built a bunch of *actual* replicas in Orenburg in the 1990s, like the Yak-3 "White 100" (G-CGXG) and Yak-3 "Normandie Niemen" (G-OLEG) that can be seen at European airshows here and there. Only obvious difference from their WW2 originals is that they are powered by Allison V12s rather than Klimovs.
(does it count as a replica if built by the same company that built the originals, using the same blueprints?)
