I’m doing a dual build of Trumpeter’s MiG-3 Late Version, and Ark Models’ MiG-3, also a late version. Both are in 1/48 scale. The Ark kit is the ICM mold. The Ark Model kit is courtesy my friend Alex at scale-model-kits.com.
In terms of ease of assembly, the Trumpeter is proving much easier. The Ark kit is taking a little more work. Still, they both are looking good so far.
