This profile is based on three photos, probably taken during summer or
autumn 1941 on the Moscow front.
A careful observation of the photos shows some characteristics:
it is an early type MiG-3, with slats;
it has the radio mast;
it wears what seems a white 0 (sometimes used for unit leaders) on the
tail, and a red 76 with thin black outline on the rudder, overposed to
the red star;
it has a green/worn black base camouflage, with fresh black bands hand
painted on the tail and rear fuselage;
it has particularly large stars with a black outline under the wings;
it has modified main undercarriage covers; probably they were cutten after
a damaging or to have a better access to the brakes for maintenance;
it has black painted and heavily worn propeller blades.
A hypothetic recostruction of the camo scheme, based on the observation
of the wing of the second photo.
Fresh black repaintings look localized on the wingroots and on the
junctions of outer wing panels.
