Silhouette challenge
Could it be a LaG 5 perchance, as in the LaGG 3 re-engined with an ASh-82 radial, not the LaGG 5 subsequent development as this had a more bulbous snout.

Sīland,
thatīs right. An attempt to squeeze a little more performance out of the I-16, but only built on small scale for testing purposes. After a crash and Polikarpov falling out of Stalins favour, the La 5 series was focussed on instead.
