Thanks, but as I say, the credit really belongs to Konstantin! Glad to hear you found it interesting - I haven't had time to look at it myself. I was too busy doing that mega-reply on ARC about aluminum winter "camouflage" - better than black and green against the snow, I guess, but certainly not as good as MK-7! Wink

perhaps I should have said 'Thank You for bringing it to my attention at this forum'
although I am a member at ARC , I don't visit there very often as there isn't much there that interests me.
(the exception there is the information about USAAF and USN interior colors of WWII-priceless!)
now I will have to go there and look around...

Location could be Taizy, southwest of Leningrad/St.Petersburg

Two photos of the tail section of a MiG-3:

http://cgi.ebay.de/k79175-Orig-Foto-Flugzeug-Aircraft-abgeschossen_W0QQitemZ180419827497QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMilitaria?hash=item2a01dc1729

The second one could be useful as a reference for detailing the radio shelf behind the pilot's seat; too bad the focus is not better. The colour of paint in this area looks darker than I expected - could it be A-19?

Hi John, Smiley
thank you for the link.
For what I know, the radio bay of the MiG-3 should be painted with the same color of exterior wooden parts.
About the color, on the base of the recent discussion on Arcmodel, I think that it's AII green that darkens with ageing.
On that discussion emerged that A-19 could be the green utilized for metal parts, that lightens with ageing and sun.
After the July 1941, those greens should be replaced with AMT-4 on camo planes.

Thanks, Massimo - do you think A-14 (steel Grey) might also be a possibility?

Hi John, Smiley

That part was visible from outside and, if you paint it with the canopy removed, it's much easier to paint it green.
Besides Kari has written that green was the background on the metallic parts and probably on the inner side of many panels
So I think that the bay was green as the wooden outside.
Perhaps it could be of other colors on late migs, but my guess is for green on all.
Grey could be a guess for the rods of elevators, well visible on that photo but not when the plane is complete.
