The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-1 & MiG-3 In Profile & Scale (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781667122625)

Volume no.2 of the Profile & Scale series details the MiG-1 and -3 family of fighters as never seen before. Many famous MiG examples are faithfully documented in full-colour profile. Most importantly, the work contains many pages of original, never previously published scale line drawings (in 1:48). The line drawings are the culmination of nearly 25 years' dedicated work on such scale details, and should present the most complete, accurate and illuminating such work anywhere at the present time. Readers will likely see for the first time a comprehensive picture of the technical development of MiG series manufacture. This developmental picture is thoroughly illustrated via seven complete sets of 1:48 scale, five view, drawings showing the main production versions of this aircraft (detailing their time of manufacture and Production Number ranges), in addition to scrap and detailed views. Further special sections in the book discuss the developments and differences in the MiG's nose, the shape of the vertical stabiliser, and other such items. It is fervently hoped that at long last many hitherto confused or inaccurate details will be clarified and rectified. Many of the colour profiles represent examples which will be familiar to most students of the MiG-1 and -3, albeit completed to the utmost standard of accuracy. However, several profiles will doubtless be new even to experienced readers; I hope these delight both the casual reader and the serious student, equally.
