Travers Mig-3 Decals, Catalog Number 72050, MiG-3s

Very nice decal sheet, containing decals for twelve aircraft. Decals seem to be good quality and in-register.

Schemes

  1. Twelve MiG-3 schemes are provided on this sheet.
  2. "White 04", pilot and unit unknown, 1942. The camo is light green/dark green/light blue. The spinner is dark green.
  3. "White 5", 55th IAP, pilot A. I. Pokryshkin, 1942. Camouflage is overall dark green, with light blue undersurfaces. It wears small writing "Gvardija" on the front fuselage. The spinner is yellow.
  4. "Yellow 17", 216th training regiment, Novosibirsk, 1944. Aircraft is overall light gray with yellow spinner.
  5. "Yellow 9". This aircraft was shot down in Karelia, 1942. Top surfaces dark green, undersurfaces light blue, yellow spinner.
  6. Aircraft of the 34th IAP, Moscow, Winter 1941-42. This is an overall white aircraft (undersurfaces again light blue), with red arrow and patriotic slogans "Za Stalina" on the fuselage sides. The spinner tip is red.
  7. Again an aircraft of the 34th IAP, Moscow, Winter 1941-42. Marking is the same as at previous aircraft, the only difference is the patriotic slogan "Za Rodinu".
  8. "Red 36", 12th IAP, Moscow defence, Winter 1942. Again white/lt. blue camouflage, with black stripe in front part of fuselage and red topside of wings. The spinner is white, with the red star on the tip.
  9. Once again, an aircraft of the 34th IAP, Moscow, Winter 1941-42. The camouflage is the same as at previous aircraft of this unit. The slogan is now "Za Partiu Bolsevikov".
  10. "White 43", 401st IAP, August 1941. Aircraft is depicted as dark green/brown, with dark green spinner.
  11. "White 21", Aviacia VMF (???). Camo is light green/dark green, with light gray spinner (questionable I think).
  12. An aircraft in LG/DG/LB camouflage, with dark green spinner. There is a patriotic slogan "Smert nemeckim okupantam" on the right fuselage side.
  13. "Black 7", Moscow defence, pilot A. V. Shlopov, 1942. Again a white aircraft with light blue undersurfaces, with black flashes and slogans "Za Stalina!" on the fuselage sides. Tail and wing tips, as well as spinner are red.
All colours are generic, but VVS fans will have no problems with that. Because some camos are questionable in my opinion, good references are necessary. Also any comments to these camouflages and markings are highly welcome.
