MiG E-166 Modelsvit 1:72

As a boy I was fascinated by an aircraft called the E-166 that came from the house of Mikoyan-Gurevich.The facts were usually as bad as the bad photos at the time.
 

But what you quickly knew and had to tell the world out of propaganda interests, it was an airplane that set three world records. 

Alexander Fedotow reached a speed record on October 7, 1961 on a closed 100 km route with 2401 km / h.
 

Further records followed on July 7, 1962. On a straight stretch of 15/25 km, pilot Georgi Mossolow flew a speed of 2681 km / h and on September 11, 1962 Pyotr Ostapenko flew in level flight at an altitude of 22,670 m the FAI confirms this, world record at the time. 

The development goes back to the year 1956 and started with the Je-150. A line of development of heavy fighter aircraft at Mikoyan-Gurevich. 

The aircraft is now in the Museum of the Soviet Air Force in Monino. 

For better processing, a ring at the air inlet was cut off and only glued back on later. 

Technologically well made, the cockpit forms a unit with the inlet cone.
 

Just as the E-166 is in Monino, it had the enlarged wings. 

The cockpit hood has been redrawn. 

Die Arbeit wird mit einem besseren Einblick ins Cockpit belohnt.
