Hi,
I have questions about colors on the MiG-3 "46" 6 IAD, Moscow PVO. Photo is dated on spring 1942:
http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/mig3/silver46.html1. Undersufraces - still prewar light blue AIIg, or already new blue AMT-7?
AFAIK AIIg had to be used untill all stocks of old AIIg were used. I incline to AIIg
2. Green on the upper surfaces is still prewar dark green AII3, or already new green AMT-4?
If black color is the field application, then old AII3 is quite probable. If black is factory applied on the newly built plane, the new AMT-4 seems to be more probable.
3. Board number is glossy silver, or white color dirty from the exhaust stains?
Comparing it to other planes at
http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/mig3/colors2.html I incline to silver.
Thank you in advance for your comments.
Regards,
