Under new Management…1/48 Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3, Royal Romanian Airforce
Built in 2015. Trumpeter kit oob, seatbelts and antenna wire added, Gunze and Tamiya paints for camo and finish, fuselage band and tri-color rudder are painted, rest of markings are decals from Avalon.
Model shows a Soviet aircraft that was captured by the Romanians in 1941. At first they kept the single green, later on the a/c got some more camo applied. The aircraft was used as an Adversary/Aggressor for training.

Very nice. The Mig-3 is one of the best looking WW2 fighters in my opinion.

Beautifully built and painted. The MiG-3 is quite small in 1/48 and I am impressed by the delicacy of the detail at that scale – a testimony also to how well it is painted and weathered (oil paint pin wash?). The Romanians chose colors that were quite harmonious compared to the Soviet factory schemes. I am tempted to do my 1/32 MiG-3 in this camo. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks Colin! Yes, used an oil paint wash.
