This profile is based on some photos of an abandoned plane during the
first months of 1942. The place and unit are unknown.
Image from MiG-1/3, Mushrooms
A careful observation of the photos shows some characteristics:
-
it is an early type MiG-3s, probably without slats (the wings are lacking);
-
it has not the radio mast;
-
the tail shows clearly (from the right side) a soft camo scheme, possibly
worn black, and a red star;
-
on the fuselage, only a white 14 is clearly visible, but careful observation
of some photos (not shown here) shows a wide red star, to which 14 is overposed;
-
the black bands appear neatly on the tail, but not on other parts of the
plane.
