1/72 HobbyBoss MiG-3

Gallery Article by Daniele Dotti on Sept 10 2009

 

Hi, this is the 1/72 HobbyBoss MiG-3 and represents a fighter presented to 172° IAP pilots on 1 February 1942, the slogan on the fuselage "Za Partiu Bolshevikov"-For Bolshevik Party.  It's an easy kit (the wing and the fuselage are in one piece), but is a good kit for novice and expert modelers.  I add only scratch built seatbelts a new cloche and a instrument panel, opened the holes for the machines gun and add the landing light.  For painting I used Agama acrylic color, upper surface Matt white and the under surface Air superiority blue.

For building this kit I found this very useful site: www.mig3.sovietwarplanes.com 
The kit does fit well and I have used a small quantity of putty.
I hope that you enjoyed seeing it and thanks for looking.
 

Happy modelling and greetings from Italy.
