Built in 2015. 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 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.

  8. 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.

  9. Very nice build, it really came out looking nice! This is the first time I got to see Trumpeter's Mig-3. The Romanian markings and paint scheme looks awesome on this plane.
