Modelsvit 72038 Plastic model aircraft kit Scale 1:72 I-320 R-3 Mikoyan-Gurevich

Mikoyan-Gurevich I-320 R-3 is a plastic model kit in 1/72 scale produced by MODELSVIT representing an experimental Soviet all-weather interceptor developed in the late 1940s during the early jet era.

The I-320 was designed as a long-range interceptor capable of operating in various weather conditions. The R-3 modification introduced aerodynamic refinements including wing geometry adjustments, updated control surfaces, and structural improvements aimed at enhancing flight performance.

I-320 R-3 - Soviet All-Weather Interceptor Prototype

The aircraft featured a twin-engine configuration and was part of early efforts to develop radar-equipped interception platforms. Although it did not enter mass production, the I-320 program contributed to the evolution of Soviet interceptor aircraft design.

For modelers: Aircraft with complex aerodynamic surfaces benefit from careful dry-fitting of wings and fuselage sections. Working with photo-etched parts requires precision, and aligning landing gear components will help maintain a balanced finished model.
