Trumpeter 02830 MiG-3 Early Version 1:48 Scale Fine Scale Kit  [TP02830]

Introducing the Trumpeter 1:48 MiG-3 Early Version Kit

The MiG-3 was an important Soviet fighter from World War II, developed to improve on the earlier MiG-1. Production began in December 1940 and operational deliveries started in April 1941. Engine shortages curtailed production by the end of 1941, but in total over 3,120 aircraft were constructed.

Kit Overview and Suitability

Trumpeter's 1:48 MiG-3 Early Version kit models the airframe with careful attention to shape and surface detail. It is aimed at modellers who want a historically accurate small-scale representation rather than a simple snap-fit toy.

Prototype Dimensions and Model Representation

The original MiG-3 had a wingspan of 10.20 m and a length of 8.26 m, with a top speed near 640 km/h at 7,800 m altitude. The kit scales these measurements to provide an authentic miniature that reflects the aircraft's aerodynamic form.
