Evstigneev's La-5FN

[Greebo]

This skin is a request from Devil505, who also supplied the photo for it.

This is the La-5FN of Kirill Alekseevich Evstigneev of the 178th Guards Fighter Regiment, based in Hungary in early 1945. He was one of the Soviet Union's top aces with 52 outright and 3 shared kills. Two other top Soviet aces, Kozhedub and Pokryshkin, rated him as the most effective fighter pilot in the VVS. His aircraft carried the Guards symbol below the cockpit and an inscription which translates as:- ‘From the collective farmer Konev Vasiliy Viktorovich’.
