The MiG-3 aircraft was one of the most important Soviet fighters of the early years of World War II. Produced by Mikoyan-Gurevich, it entered service in 1941 and played a key role in the defense of Moscow and other critical battles on the Eastern Front. Although not without its flaws, the MiG-3 was especially valued for its high-altitude performance and speed. Withdrawn from combat service before 1943, it remains an icon of early Soviet aviation during the war.

The Eduard BIG4891 set includes:

• 48574 – Detailed photo-etched landing gear bays, allowing you to accurately recreate the mechanisms and details of the MiG-3’s undercarriage, based on historical documentation.
• 49388 – Advanced photo-etched cockpit set, featuring seat belts, an instrument panel with precision-printed dials, and other small cockpit interior components.
• EX229 – High-quality painting masks, enabling precise painting of the cockpit canopy and landing gear wheels, significantly improving modeling workflow and eliminating the risk of paint bleeding.

The set is designed for intermediate and advanced modelers who value a high level of detail and accurate replication of the original. Thanks to the photo-etched elements and professional masks, every MiG-3 replica will gain remarkable realism and a unique character.
Assembly difficulty level: 4/5 – recommended experience with photo-etched parts and precision painting.

We recommend the Eduard BIG4891 set both to hobbyists wishing to take their MiG-3 model to the next level and to collectors passionate about Soviet aviation from World War II.
