This is ICM’s 1/48 Mig-3 kit that I built in the markings of one of the top scoring Soviet aces, Alexander Pokryshkin. He flew several Mig-3s in 1941-1942, before transitioning to the P-39 Airacobra. Between the two ill reputed types, he scored more confirmed kills (59) than any Western Allied ace. I built this with only the addition of a Kits World 3-D decal seat harness and a Cutting Edge instrument panel. Paints were Gunze Aqueous and Tamiya acrylic. The kit decals were translucent, especially over the topside dark colors, so aside from the underwing stars, I cobbled together the rest from my spares.
and with the rest of my 1/48 Red Air Force

Great looking bunch of Ruskies, Comrade Stikskievenov.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Re: ICM 1/48 Mig-3
Really like the trio of Red Star builds

Re: ICM 1/48 Mig-3
Thanks guys! Or should I say comrades? My Red Air Force will be growing more. There’s just a peculiar charm about them.
The P-39 is Monogram… of course
