DMold 1/48
Corrected MiG-3 Radiator

DMold is back with another interesting detail set. This one tackles the ventral radiator on the ICM 1/48 MiG-3 kit (reviewed here). The kit is not bad out of the box, especially for the price, but it does have some room for detailing by an AMS modeler (check out this build).

DMold has corrected the simplistic ventral engine coolant radiator with a drop-in replacement resin detail set that will provide that visual enhancement for the MiG aficionado.

The detail set consists of five parts: the radiator fairing, radiator, intake grille, exhaust duct, and exhaust door. The door on my example had broken loose and part of the door hinge had broken, but this is easily fixed.

The instructions show you how to position the resin parts to create the new radiator assembly and once completed, replace the kit's fairing and radiator with much better detail.

This conversion is available at Relish Models.

Definitely recommended to the AMS modeler!

My sincere thanks to DMold for this review sample!
