This profile represents an aircraft of 7 IAP, piloted by Capt. S.N.
Polyakov, Leningrad front, summer 1941.
It is a early type MiG-3, with radio mast and wires, and without slats.
A part of the spinner looks painted with a light color, probably red.
The tail wheel doors are bulged as on late version MiG-3s.

| The aircraft bears a camo scheme with an unusual distribution of bands;
it is a field-made camouflage on an early style solid green aircraft.
The colors are probably AII green and dark green, with a darker band on the right wing root (probably black) and some lighter patches on the right wing and over the nose (probably fresh green repaintings). Note the stars over the wings, as usual on prewar-built aircraft. (below)
