History:
The MiG. 3 was developed at the early stage of the WW2. She was a quite good
fighter but was quickly superseded by far better enhanced models soon after
her appearance. Notwithstanding she was an important weapon in the USSR's
war weapons inventory.

The
model: I suspect this little kit would be a previous Emhar release,
remoulded and packed by Italeri for a second time. It is quite good
and well engineered. The construction is straightforward and I built it
OOB. Three versions are available with the decals supplied in the box.
I chose the best known one, of course. The colours used were all in the
Humbrol range being Snow White H.34 in a distemper lavable upper
camouflage, with Sky Blue H.65 for the lower surfaces. The
high-visibility upper bands were painted in Signal Red H. 153.
The
model was weathered with oils and pastel as usual.
Happy
modelling to all the ARC friends!.
