The canopy is made of three main parts: the windshield, the sliding hood and the rear part. The sliding hood slides backwards.

Note that all the sliding guides are internal.

From this image, we clearly see that the sliding hood has a rear clear nail covering the gap between its rear frame and the frame of the rear part.

The lack of the PBP-1 gunsight is evident.

This image shows the locking mechanism on the right side of the canopy. This was only on late type MiG-3s.

The windshield itself was made of three thermoformed pieces of plastic, probably glued each other. This allowed to minimize the degradation in transparence due to thermoforming. In fact, the front part was nearly flat.

The small rectangular sealing on the clear panels junction (tape?) don't appear in wartime photos.

Below, the locking mechanism on the sliding hood.

This image shows clearly the rear bay, where the radio equipment could be installed.

Wartime photos show rarely the protruding shape of the complete radio equipment (as illustrated on the drawings of Voronin) even when the radio mast was installed; this let us know that only few planes had the fully radio equipment, while many other ones had only the receiver, or nothing at all.

The slot in the mid of the upper frame is the third (rear) guide of the sliding canopy.

I don't know what is the yellow pipe, or if it was on original planes. It seems not apparent on wartime photos.

In wartime, all the rear bay appear painted dark, probably green as the external surfaces.

These images put in evidence the inclined shape of the front part of the rear sliding guide. This shape let us understand that the rear of the sliding hood lifts a bit when it is opened backwards
