Trumpeter Scale Models 2230 1/32 Russian MiG-3

Model Kit

The Mig 3 is a further development of the MiG-1 with only minor differences (but quite different in handling). To cure poor spin performance of the MiG-1, automatic slats were added. No other country had such a high-speed high-altitude interceptor in service, and even the Luftwaffe was taken by surprise when some of its high-altitude reconnaissance planes were lost to unseen Soviet fighters. The MiG-3 was almost perfectly suited for their designated role, but the well known events of 1941 forced pilots to engage the Mig 3 as a replacement for conventional fighters or even ground attackers. It was a forced misuse of a good high altitude interceptor with limitations in low altitude performance.
