I bought this from EBay in 2005 and was one of the early additions to my
collection of aircraft of the VVS in the Great Patriotic War. The MiG-3 is
undoubtedly one of the prettiest aircraft produced at the time. Just
gorgeous. If it performed like it looked it would have been a legend.
Unfortunately it was horrible to fly and was discarded in favour of better
designs by Lavochkin and Yakovlev. Some of the many accessories you can get
to go with this kit include:
-
Moskit Exhaust Pipes
-
Aeromaster Decals
AMD48313 and AMD 48314 MiG-3 "Early Warriors" Parts 1 and 2
-
Eduard Photoetched
parts include Instrument Panel and seatbelts
-
Extratech seatbelts for
the aircraft of the VVS in the GPW
-
Fusion Resin Propeller
and Spinner correction set
-
Cutting Edge Resin

Aftermarket Extras
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| This is the
Cutting Edge Super Detailed Cockpit set. It is packed with parts and
judging by their previous work, it is excellent. |
This is the
Eduard Photoetch set. |
The Fusion
Propeller and Spinner correct set. I had quite a problem getting
this off of the EBay seller who was based in Canada. Poor comms,
poor instructions. |
One of two
MiG-3 Moskit Metal Exhaust sets. I will use the other on the
Trumpeter kit. |
 |
 |
 |
|
| The
Squadron vac formed canopies. You get two for the money. |
The True Detail Resin Weighted wheels
reserved for the MiG-3 Project although the same set appears
universal across Lavochkin and Yakovlev Fighters.... |
Cooper Details CD 4835 WWII Russian
Fighter Main wheels for ICM, Classic Airframes, Hobbycraft, MiG-3,
Yak-7, Yak-9, LaGG-3, La-5 & La-7. |
