Historical Information

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3 was a Soviet single-seat fighter aircraft from the World War II era. It entered service in the USSR in 1941 and was extensively used in the early years of the conflict, especially on the Eastern Front during the defense of Moscow. The model was known for its high speed at high altitudes, but its low-altitude performance did not match Allied and German designs. The MiG-3 became one of the symbols of the initial phase of the Great Patriotic War.

Description of the Eduard 49388 Set Contents

The presented set is intended for detailed replication of the MiG-3 model’s interior. All components are made from finely cut steel sheet, ensuring the highest level of detail and authenticity. Key elements include colored instrument panels, meticulously crafted pilot seat belts, and numerous tiny details for the cockpit and undercarriage. All this results in a spectacular final effect and allows for a level of realism unattainable in models assembled only from plastic parts.

Who is this for?

This accessory set is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who want to enhance their Trumpeter MiG-3 model with top-class cockpit and operational detail enhancements. The use of photo-etched details requires some skill and patience; therefore, we recommend it to those at level 3–5 on a five-point difficulty scale. The product is ideal for hobbyists who care about the authenticity of replicas of historic World War II fighters.
