-
early type MiG-3;
-
with radio and radio mast;
-
camouflaged with black stripes over an overall green base, that was standard
before the war outbreak; the stripes extend probably over the wing uppersurfaces;
-
there could be stars on the wings uppersurfaces, probably covered with
black paint;
-
the propeller blades are repainted black; this extends on the spinner and
a bit on the engine cowling, even on the light blue undersurface;
-
there are triangular plates on the oil coolers outlets and a thin plate
on the junction between spinner and engine cowling, as on late MiG-3s;
-
possibly, the light blue on the fuselage sides could be overpainted black;
-
codes are unknown; if present, they were probably on the tail.
