LMAO I noticed that just after I posted it... BUT you read it wrong :P Its Borovkov D.It was an mixed power (piston, ramjet) that was being developed in the soviet union just prior to WWII. The project was killed by the german invasion since the design bureau working on it was in the extreme western ussr.
Right now I'm planning for 1:48 scale. references are pretty scarce but I found a 3-view a couple decent renders and a pic of a resin model I am planning on doing the winter paint scheme from the attached render.

That is a neat looking airplane. Brings something from SAAB to mind, lemme go Google a minute.

Ah, the J21. Made in both prop and jet power.

resembles the saab j21 in layout yes, except the fact that the tail booms contain ramjets lol

Got some more done, I really need to learn a better way to do the wings

The render looks more like a natural aluminum rather than a winter camo, though either would look good. I like the 5-blade prop on the render. Not sure which is more accurate though.
