I had this cheap kit lurking and I needed a simple build so I slapped it together and had it done in quick time (for me), in between the EE Lightning sessions. No accuracy here, just a fun build.

MiG-3, depicting the aircraft flown by Alexander Pokryshkin (see here for a run down on this chap: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Pokryshkin)

I ignored the Hobbyboss instructions and guides and did my own quick research. His MiG may have had the canopy removed and it may not have had rockets fitted, and it possibly had a yellow nose, but I built it the way I wanted it. All I added were some tape straps and some painted-on dials to the otherwise bare cockpit.

It's nice to have a fun build from time to time Joe, just to do what you want. It looks a cracking little build and a job well done.
