  This is MiG-3 from Trumpeter in 1:48 scale. Eduard photo etched parts for interior, landing flaps and some other details were added. Eduard Mask was used for canopy painting. Decals are original from the kit.

  The kit is assembled as provided without any structural changes or corrections.

  I wanted to build a plane flown by Pokryshkin just at the war outbreak. However, there are no photos or other info somehow confirming real appearance of this his plane. There is not even a consenzus about board number. So I chose Mig-3 standard appearance from summer 1941 board number from discussed possibilities.

  The model is airbrushed with AKAN Acrylics AII Green and AII Blue, A-14 for interior, Alluminium Alclad for propeller. 
  Central metal surface was airbrushed with very slightly lightened AII Green and difference against the wooden parts was enhanced by a bit more Revell Matt. I really appreciated EDUARD Mask. It fits to canopy very good and it speeds up canopy frames painting significantly.

  Weathering is minimal. The plane was maintained regularly before the war. After the war outbreak it was destroyed quite soon, not enough time to weather significantly. Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color (different mixes of black/brown and grey) and MIG pigments were used.

  Best regards,

  Michal Sekula
