This MiG-3 was recovered from the Black Sea at 1990 and have original
steel-tube center-section, prop, engine (very corroded!), engine-mount and
landing gears. All another is new build - wooded fuselage and wings and
cockpit glass and control surface and some parts of cowling. It was build at
1995. Mr.Pokryshkin have first combat sortie on the such type airplane in
1941. Now in Novosibirsk under restoration two another MiG-3 for flyable
condition.
