1/48 ICM Mig-3

Modeling Subjects Aircraft

This is ICM’s 1/48 Mig-3 kit that I built in the markings of one of the top scoring Soviet aces, Alexander Pokryshkin. He flew several Mig-3s in 1941-1942, before transitioning to the P-39 Airacobra. Between the two ill reputed types, he scored more confirmed kills (59) than any Western Allied ace. I built this with only the addition of a Kits World 3-D decal seat harness and a Cutting Edge instrument panel. Paints were Gunze Aqueous and Tamiya acrylic. The kit decals were translucent, especially over the topside dark colors, so aside from the underwing stars, I cobbled together the rest from my spares.

and with the rest of my 1/48 Red Air Force

Nice work, Carlos. The MiG 3 is bigger than I thought, even allowing for perspective in the photo.

Many thanks for your kind feedback guys!

Jim, I’m living very safe these days, you do the same [;)]

John, the Mig is about the same size as the Yak, perhaps a tad bit shorter, but pretty much the same wingspan, and certainly more petite than the Airacobra. [^o)]

Brandon, I could say the same thing about your work [;)]

Very nice. I think the Mig 3 is my favourite Russian aircraft.

Chris and Eugene, thank you.

Chris, I’m kinda partial to the La-5FN and La-7 myself. But yeah, these MiGs that started the dynasty do look good!

Eugene, I like the early war Black and Green scheme better than the two tone Gray mid to late war colors.
