First deliveries of the new fighter to front line fighter squadrons occurred in April 1941. The MiG-3 remained in series production until the last week of December 1941, when it was discontinued due to the unfortunate unavailability of the AM-35A engine. Total MiG-3 production amounted to some 3120 aircraft, and 50 more were built from available parts during the first half of 1942. The MiG-3 remained in service almost to the end of the war; wrecked aircraft were often cannibalized to keep others flying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an improvement upon the largely defective MiG-1 prototype, the MiG-3 was first flown on October 29, 1940. By 1941 nearly 1,000 MiG-3s were in service with the Soviet Union, but the aircrafts overall performance proved to be a disappointment. Designed for high-altitude dogfighting, the MiG-3 rarely encountered ideal conditions over the Eastern Front, where it was outclassed by the German Bf 109. Although the MiG-3 was not well regarded, several Soviet aces were able to exploit its hidden advantages...the third leading Soviet ace of WWII, Aleksandr Pokryshkin claimed a number of his 53 official air victories in a MiG-3.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEasy Model Platinum Collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Easy Model Platinum Collection range presents highy-affordable, ready-made plastic models of military aircraft. While these models may not have the same heft as their diecast siblings, they do offer remarkable value for money. Most importantly, they look perfectly at home alongside diecast modes, allowing collectors to flesh out their collection with types and paint-schemes not yet available in diecast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEasy Model Platinum Collection display model airplanes feature:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMolded plastic construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad printed markings and placards that wont fade or peel like decals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpinning propellers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic ordnance loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePermanently extended landing gear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresentation stand to display the aircraft in flight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e..1\/72\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e..4.5\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e..5.5\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Easy Model","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48488327938269,"sku":"EAS-37221","price":26.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/0708\/0110\/files\/EAS-37221.png?v=1788358883","url":"https:\/\/ultimatehobbies.com.au\/products\/easy-model-1-72-mig-3-1941-assembled-model-37221","provider":"Ultimate Hobbies Site","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
