Three camouflaged MiG-3s appear on 3 photos taken on March 7, 1942,
when the 120th IAP of Moscow Air Defence was was made Guards as the 12th
Gv.IAP; they appear only partially as background elements, but they seems
to be almost identical with the exception of some details. This example
is the most hidden of the trio, but it shows some interesting characteristics,
while the other two look extremely anonymous.
The characteristics seem to be:
late type, probably with slats;
standard black and green camouflage with light blue undersurfaces;
red band on the spinner;
overall black propeller blades;
perhaps a small red 47 under the windshield;
stars on 6 standard positions (fuselage, tail, wing undersurfaces);
a white antenna mast, probably from another aircraft;
a silver stripe over the fuselage-spinner junction;
