When I was a kid (appox 1957) I got a model of a Russian Jet. I ran many
searches on the net but can't find anything on it.
I don't remember the designation, but I think it was a Yak. Yes I ran 4
Yak
sites that came up.

The Jet had a nose like the F-86D, swept wings with a high sweeping
tail.
The tail was very long compared to the rest of the A/C
It swept back and up in a nice curve. I've never seen another A/C with a
tail like it.
Single engine, single seater with a couple of cannon, I think were 37MM.
I think it might have been Experimental because I can't find anything
out
about it..
Any Help would be welcomed...

Hmmmm... this sounds vaguely familiar to a model kit I had in my younger
days. I think it may have been a Revell kit and supposedly a MIG 19 ~ no
way ! The closest I ever came to matching it to a real aircraft was one of
the Lavochin high wing designs but then IIRC, I don't think it was *that*
close; the model was of a mid-wing aircraft.
