This example is one of the most famous ones, photographed during the
delivery ceremony.
The photo was shot on February 1, 1942, when they were delivered; they
could be between the last MiG-3 even built.
The photo shows compressed air bottles on the ground, parachutes on
the wings and wheel stops.
The aircraft is the third of the line, and has the "Za partiy bolshevikov"
("for Bolshevik Party") slogan.

rocket rails;

-
white propeller blades;
-
red slogan and arrow on both sides;
-
the stars on the fuselage sides are slightly rotated;
