Kagero 3090 MiG-3 Mikoyan-Gurevich Vol. III (EN) – modeling book

Kagero 3090 MiG-3 Mikoyan-Gurevich Vol. III (EN) is a unique publication from KAGERO dedicated to aviation history enthusiasts and modelers building Soviet aircraft models from World War II. This book is an excellent English-language source of knowledge about the MiG-3 fighter aircraft, produced by the Mikoyan and Gurevich design bureau, which played a significant role in the early years of the Great Patriotic War.

The publication covers 92 richly illustrated pages, presenting an in-depth description of the development, use, and combat history of the MiG-3. The book contains as many as 140 authentic archival photographs, showing both combat aircraft and structural details useful to any modeler. Additionally, the reader receives 10 detailed color profiles, making it easier to accurately recreate the camouflage and markings of aircraft used by the Soviet Air Force during World War II (years 1941-1943).

Historical Description and Significance of the MiG-3 Aircraft

The MiG-3 fighter was developed as an improvement of the earlier MiG-1 and was used primarily by the USSR in the early period of World War II on the Eastern Front. These aircraft took part in the defense of Moscow, Leningrad, Stalingrad, and in air battles for supremacy over the vast expanses of the Soviet Union. They were especially valued for their high speed at high altitudes, though they required experienced pilots.
