This aircraft is a series MiG-1 of 31 IAP; it was captured, with many other MiGs, on the Kaunas airfield in Lithuania in the first days of war.

The aircraft differs from early type MiG-3 for:


 
 

The general finish is similar to the most of early MiG-3s:
  • overall AII green over AII light blue; 
  • the shade of color on the metallic parts is very faded and lighter than the wooden parts (rear fuselage, wings outer consoles). 
  • there are black repaintings at the wingroots.
  • the red stars have black outline and are in six positions: fuselage, wings upper and undersurfaces;
  • the propeller was unpainted alluminium, with the back partially painted black and very worn;
  • traces of some repainting (it looks even a sort of camo) are vaguely visible on the nose;
  • a deleted 16 looks to appear on the sides.
