1/32 MIG 3
Trumpeter 1/32 MiG-3 is a plastic kit of the Soviet high-altitude fighter of World War II. It contains 134 parts, metal shafts and photo-etched hinges. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The MiG-3 was a further development of the MiG-1, differing only in details such as automatic slats that improved its spin behaviour. Designed as a fast high-altitude interceptor, it even surprised the Luftwaffe, which lost high-flying reconnaissance aircraft. The events of 1941, however, forced its pilots to fight at low level as ordinary fighters and even ground attackers, where the type's strengths did not show. Thanks to easy maintenance and repairability, the MiG-3 remained in service almost until the end of the war.
According to the manufacturer, the Trumpeter kit in 1/32 scale consists of 134 parts on five sprues. The aileron and flap shafts are metal and their hinges photo-etched. The model is 259 mm long with a 318 mm wingspan. The decals depict a MiG-3 of the 12th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment of the Moscow air defence, March 1942.
The white winter finish with a red arrow along the fuselage, as shown on the box art, is a rewarding subject for a worn winter scheme. The slender fuselage stands out well in large scale within a collection of Soviet fighters. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
