Mikoyan & Guryevich MiG-3 in 1/32nd Scale



MiG-3



MiG-3 ( Carl Huffman   ). "Trumpeter kit and it went together well out of the box. The only problems I had were with the PE hinges causing a fit problem on the elevators. I did not make any attempt to detail it, other than using hypodermic needles to try to duplicate the thermal sleeves on the gun muzzles.

I used WEM paint to do the AII Green on the camouflage, but the rest of the paints used were Model Master Flat Black and Underside Blue. I used RLM Gray (02) on the interior of the wheel wells and the cockpit. The painting was done with my old Paasche H airbrush.

Kit decals were used, except for the "Za Rodinu" slogan on the left side of the model, which came from Data Decals. My experience with them was very positive, and I would recommend them to anyone trying to build this kit"
