MiG-3 Fighter (A. Pokryshkin)
« on: November 23, 2021, 03:11:33 PM »
Hello everyone, I'm looking for skins from the following plane:

ace Pokryshkin's MiG-3, number 5 or/and number 67.

















Has anyone ever done it?
Thanks in advance,

Gilles

This request got me poking around.
I knew of Pokryshkin , but not in detail.
Found an interesting link :

In 55IAP/16GIAP at 1941/42 pilots as usual used any free & ready to take off plane for missions. So,  the number of the plane doesn't matter.

The MiG-3 could not have the inscription "Гвардия"(Guards).
The regiment became Guards when it was already fighting on the Yak-1

Can't remember having seen a good Picture of Pokryshins Mig-3 other than where he is posing at his Propeller.

Hi all,
After having searched and found nothing on the internet and SAS 1946 for the skins corresponding to my request ... I used existing skins and modified them somewhat ... with Paint 3D on my computer:
these skins are designed for use with the Aviaskins 3D model ... see the wonderful MiG-3 family initiated by Epizikl and Aviaskins group ... in 2011! ... and the corresponding skins by UF-Zargos and other skinners including I forgot the names ...
I fumbled around a lot and tried to make these modifications to get as close as possible to numbers 5 and 67 of the ace Pokryshkin ... it's not great but here are some images in the game:
