Trumpeter MiG-3 "За Родину" 1:32

[shadowmare]

Trumpeter MiG-3 with Part set, resin exhausts and Montex masks. Inscription on the side means "For the motherland". Nice kit with, surprisingly, no major errors. I improved few things like a propeller blades - awfully thick in the kit. As a support for photos I used old cigarette case from Soviet Union when Saint Petersburg was a Leningrad. For Poland where I live, it was a dark and hard time. May it never come back.

Thanks! Part sets are good but without paint so you must do it by yourself. Sometimes it's better option than Eduard because they often use wrong colors for their photoetched parts.

Great build and finish, I built mine a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it, a really nice kit

  . Unusual subject matter and well-done.

Very nicely done and it's nice to see one in colors other than white and red !

Very nice job on a not-too-common subject.

 

The MiG-3 has always interested me because I like its looks but it's one of the rare aircraft that broke the old aviation rule: "if it looks good it will fly good."
