Post by Cherrylock »

Think we have not seen so much russian planes, so here is the MiG 3, a fighter with guns and late version with little rockets.

the ICM models (engine inkl.)

I always like the look of that plane! Another nice hat trick there Cherry.

Some of those older ICM kits are under-rated IMO. I have built several and most have very detailed interiors and other features such as engines, etc...this MiG-3 being a classic example...

it is a question of what you want to do. The ICM has a detailed cockpit, nice engine and a good surface, and some kits have the ground crew incl. but the fit of the parts is not so good, grind and puddy is nessesary.

Trumpeter has bigger rivet holes, no engine and no fit problems.

So what is the better one,it is one you what options you want and what is availabe.

Thanks for the comments.
