I think its the Soviet La-168, or some similar variant, maybe the La-15?!

Yak-25, the "Flying Cigar"
(This was difficult to find, all those soviet planes look almost identical)

I'll have a shot at the Dassault Mystere IV-A, although the tail wings look lower than your's.
** wrong and ninja'd. I knew Sar1n would be tricky, but 2 different Yak-25s? Considering how close it is to the MiG 15 you've got to wonder why they ditched it.

Hehe...correct, it's the other Yak-25.
It could have been worse...I was thinking of picking a biplane
Now, if someone can take care of rep...I need to look outside of this thread to rep people
Sorry about being so late. Somebody else can take mine
I've run a few photo's of really obscure prototypes through google image search and it's depressingly easy to find anything obscure with it.
So......identify THIS!
You're making this difficult, so I'm not 100% sure...but looks like Sdkfz. 11 to me.
No.
Bedford halftrack.
Crap, I had hoped you weren't familiar with it. It's indeed the Bedford Traclat halftrack, a British halftrack prototype based on Sd.Kfz.7's captured in Africa.
Source: http://www.nevingtonwarmuseum.com/un...halftrack.htmlIn 1943, after German medium half-tracks had been captured in Africa & tested in Britain, it was decided to copy it for the British Army as a towing vehicle for the 25 pdr, 17pdr and 40mm AA guns. un. The German SdKfz.7, 8-ton version was decided on as the one to produce & Vauxhall Motor's Bedford Truck Division was told to copy it as closely as possible. Vauxhall insisted on large orders before starting production so the Army ordered 7,500 for 1944 & 5,000 for 1945 delivery. However doubts were expressed about the very time-consuming production of the high-quality needle-bearing track components & disruption to Tank production. By June 1945 only 6 prototypes had been built. Testing showed that the Traclat was superior to all other vehicles being considered for the job but it was cancelled due to its cost.
The bodies & front wheels were standard Bedford items. The Traclat was powered by two Bedford six-cylinder 140 hp engines (with their radiators) mounted side-by-side -- the cooling system for each engine was seperate. These engines drove via shafts into a coupling gearbox. The track bogie-wheels were of German pattern but seem to be taken from a mix of German half-track types (hole patterns) -- the outer ones from SdKfz-11 / SdKfz-251 while the inners from a DB-10 (12 ton) final type -- Vauxhall re-engineered everything was for imperial measurements -- imperial nuts & bolts etc used. This meant that the track bogie-wheels were new, even though they retained the Germanic styling, thus accounting for the strange (non-German) hole patterns, very conical centers & hubs.
It was a right-hand drive vehicle.
Damn . Due to lack of detail I went by the unusual suspension that's common only to few german halftracks, 7,11 and 251. I was, in a way, right .

I can confirm it is correct, I found the source photo. Well, if Darkhorse wanted specifics...he should have been here, I declare this to be closed, can't rep, KP, it's your turn.
