Historical information:

The MiG-3 fighter was developed in the USSR in the early years of WWII as a fast, high-altitude interceptor. It mainly served in the Soviet Air Force and is perfect for recreating dramatic air battles on the Eastern Front. Produced in 1941–1942, it was used, among others, in the Battle of Moscow.

These machines were rated as very fast at high altitude and well-armed, but their demanding handling and flying characteristics meant they were operated mostly by experienced pilots. The Trumpeter model enables you to replicate both the paint schemes of Moscow Air Defense aviation and frontline Red Army Air Force units.
