Is this a replica or a survivor?

Well technically neither. She's not from the original production run, but was actually built by Yakovlev. Yakovlev built a number for the warbird market in the 1990s using original jigs and blueprints, replacing the original Klimov powerplant with Allison V-1710s. This is one such example. "Late production" I believe they refer to them as.

Interesting. I wasn't sure because of the tally of crosses painted on the plain, indicating a kill count.

Those will be the kill markings of the aircraft the livery represent.
