MMP Books 78999 Scale Plans No. 30 Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-3 EN

MMP Books 78999 Scale Plans No.30 Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-3 EN is a unique publication aimed at modelers and aviation historians interested in Soviet fighters from World War II. This product offers detailed scale plans in three popular scales: 1/72, 1/48, and 1/32, making it a versatile tool for both beginner and advanced modelers.

This edition covers all versions of the MiG-1 and MiG-3 aircraft – from the earliest prototypes to the combat variants widely used by the Soviet Air Force. The publication comes in A4 format with fold-out A3 plans, which makes it easier to replicate details during model building. With 12 pages, it guarantees compactness while delivering maximum information and technical detail.

The MiG-3 was one of the most important fighters used by the USSR during World War II, especially in the initial phase of the conflict. It entered service just before Germany’s attack on the Soviet Union (1941) and was used extensively on the Eastern Front until the middle of the war. The aircraft was renowned for its high speed at altitude and dynamic combat capabilities, though it also had its limitations – low efficiency at lower altitudes and complex handling.

The diagrams included in the publication are drawn with the utmost precision, depicting authentic profiles of all MiG-1 and MiG-3 variants, making them an ideal reference base for scratch-building models and creating historical dioramas. The accuracy of the drawings, which has been verified through consultation with aviation historians and museum reconstructions, is particularly noteworthy.
