Ark Models Mig-3
Flown by Russian Ace Aleksandr Pokryshkin. I have started a little bit last night on the engine. Sadly, it will not be seen once the fuselage is buttoned up.

Re: Ark Models Mig-3
Interesting kit. How is it for fit, etc?
In my old age and grumpiness, If it can't be seen, I will likely not build it into the model. Just not worth it anymore. I
you for doing this.

Re: Ark Models Mig-3
So far I've done step 1 on the cylinder heads for the engine. It is no longer available (short run kit?). From what I've noticed, tiny or very little tabs for fit.

Very cool subject!
Re: Ark Models Mig-3
59 kills. Man that Mig-3 looks like a hotrod. Article said he got most of his kills in the P-39.
Thanks,

Re: Ark Models Mig-3
Engine is done. Lots of fiddly pieces for 1/48 scale.
5 fiddly parts for frame.
It is a gorgeous aircraft engine. Such a shame it'll all be
hidden away inside the fuselage once it's buttoned up.
Next up is framing for cockpit. More fiddly bits...

Re: Ark Models Mig-3
You're off to a great start!
That looks identical in parts layout to the ICM kit that I built a bit over a year ago. If it is a clone, the fit will be quite nice!

Great looking engine. According to scalemates it's a rebox of the ICM kit stik did indeed.
Thanks,

Interesting
Re: Ark Models Mig-3
I was thinking the box art was reminiscent of ICMs...you could always display the engine next to the finished model if you don't want to hide it.
