About product

Mikoyan I-3U (I-420) 1:72 — a Modelsvit kit

This kit in 1:72 scale captures the Soviet experimental interceptor Mikoyan I-3U, also known under the internal designation I-420. It is an injection-molded plastic model in a form for more advanced modelers (a short-run mold). The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted.

The real subject

The I-3U was a prototype Soviet interceptor designed in the mid-1950s. The machine was to be equipped with the Uragan-1 onboard control system intended for semi-automatic guidance of the flight and the gunnery. Although it showed good flying qualities during the trials, the whole program was stopped in 1958 because of the unreliability of the turbojet, and the aircraft never went into series production.

Building and painting tips

With a short-run mold, expect careful cleaning up of the parts, sanding down any molding residue where needed and a dry test before gluing. Use a thin cement for plastic, and we recommend filling and sanding the joints of the fuselage and the wings. Apply a base coat (primer) before spraying, touch up any small unevenness and spray with an airbrush in thin coats. You can lift the metal surfaces with a fine shade of aluminum.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Soviet experimental and prototype aircraft
  • Modelers with experience of short-run kits
  • Anyone interested in aviation development of the 1950s in 1:72 scale
  • Builders who will appreciate an unusual subject for the display case

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
