Easy Model Platinum Collection 37225
Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3 Display Model
Russian Air Force , Aleksandr Pokryshkin, Russia, 1941

The MiG-3 was ordered into production in December 1940. First deliveries of the new fighter to front line fighter squadrons occurred in April 1941. The MiG-3 remained in series production until the last week of December 1941, when it was discontinued due to the unfortunate unavailability of the AM-35A engine. Total MiG-3 production amounted to some 3120 aircraft, and 50 more were built from available parts during the first half of 1942. The MiG-3 remained in service almost to the end of the war; wrecked aircraft were often cannibalized to keep others flying.

Easy Model Platinum Collection

The Easy Model "Platinum Collection" series presents highy-affordable, ready-made plastic models of military aircraft in 1:72 scale. While these models may not have the same "heft" as their diecast siblings, they do offer remarkable value for money. Most importantly, they look perfectly at home alongside diecast modes, allowing collectors to "flesh out" their collection with types and paint-schemes not yet available in diecast.

Easy Model "Platinum Collection" display airplanes feature:

• Molded plastic construction.
• Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.
• Pad printed markings and placards that won't fade or peel like decals.
• Spinning propellers.
• Authentic ordnance loads.
• Permanently extended landing gear.
• Presentation stand to display the aircraft "in flight".
