1/72 Mikoyan I-3U (I-420) Soviet interceptor

The Mikoyan I-3U (I-420) Soviet interceptor is a 1/72-scale plastic model kit of an interceptor fighter from Modelsvit. Interceptor fighters and high-altitude prototypes attract modelers with their sleek silhouettes, aerodynamic shapes, and often unconventional development histories.

Modelsvit focuses on unusual aircraft models, prototypes, and types that rarely appear in standard catalogs. The kit is supplied as an unassembled plastic model intended to be glued together and painted.

Building Recommendations

• Type: Plastic model kit of a interceptor fighter
• Scale: 1/72
• Before gluing, we recommend test-fitting the parts and performing a dry fit to verify the geometry of the wings, tail surfaces, and landing gear.
• It is advisable to paint the cockpit, landing gear bays, and underwing armament as separate subassemblies.
• For a clean finish, use primer, thin layers of paint, and a final coat of clear coat according to the chosen camouflage scheme.

Model adhesives, fillers, sanding, primers, and model paints are suitable for this build. Paints and adhesive are not included in the kit unless otherwise explicitly stated on the packaging.
