Revell 04372 Mig-3 (1/72) – detailed model of the Soviet WWII fighter plane

The Revell 04372 Mig-3 in 1:72 scale is a faithful replica of one of the most recognizable Soviet fighters from the early phase of World War II. The Mig-3, produced by the Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau, was the USSR's answer to the growing threat from the Luftwaffe. This model is ideal for both beginners and advanced model builders who wish to expand their collection with a classic of Soviet military aviation from the years 1941-1943.

History and Use of the MiG-3 Aircraft

The Mig-3 was developed rapidly in late 1939 and early 1940 as a successor to the unsuccessful Mig-1 design. Introduced into service in 1941 at the very start of Operation Barbarossa, the aircraft was known for its excellent speed at high altitude, although it had difficulties during low-altitude combat. These fighters were used by the Soviet Air Force mainly in the defense of Moscow and in the first air campaigns on the Eastern Front. They were eventually withdrawn from active service in favor of the more versatile Yak and La-5 fighters in 1943.
