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 builds Stik!

Great build and I like the growing Voenno-vozdushnye sily Rossii

Great looking bunch of Ruskies, Comrade Stikskievenov.

Really like the trio of Red Star builds

What kit is the P-39?

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

Nice trio of Russian fighters.
