The plane was remarked and flown by Rumanians.
Its characteristics look to be:
-
early type, without slats;
-
with radio;
-
painted green with light blue undersurfaces ( probably not uniform; on
other MiG-3s, it looks that both colors on the metal parts are lighter
than on the wooden ones);
-
on the rudder, we see a digit 2 and a small red star, painted perhaps with
a lighter shade of red than the main stars;
-
light (blue?) pitot probe with silver end;
-
black outlined red stars on fuselage and wings undersurfaces (it is not
cnown if the red stars on uppersurfaces, an early factory standard, were
deleted or not);
-
silver propeller blades with partially black painted rear surface (as standard);
the black paint is worn;
-
a metallic stripe covers the spinner-cowling junction;
-
there are metal sheet triangles near the oil coolers outlet flaps, as on
late type MiG-3s.
On the right, we see a detail of the image before restoration.
