I'm on a bit of time crunch with other things happening in real-life ATM so I tend to shy away a bit from group builds and the like that are on some kind of dead-line (really can't do with yet another dead-line to meat if you know what I mean). It's quite impossible for me to exactly determine how much time I'll have on my hands to work on this build. If all goes accordig to plan it could go quite fast (within the month that is), but if I run into some kind of trouble I could also easily end up with a half-baked kit in a group build, so I'll pass this one if you don't mind.
Real pity you didn't come across this kit in a LHS near you. Well worth it's 14 euro (for me at least) and beats the ICM offering by miles imho.
The real colors of the MiG-3 cockpit are still unclear. On bw photos, one can see that the instrument panel can be either black or light.
Tubes structure is seen both dark (probably dark grey A-14) or light (perhaps light blue-green primer, or light blue as the undersurfaces).
Inner face of fuselage panels appears light; in the Veesiveehma depot there is a panel with a light blue-green painted inner surface.
Green is likely for some boxes, as radio and electric equipment. Some small details were unpainted.
The compressed air bottle should be black, while the oxygen bottle could be blue or green.
The internal surfaces of the wooden rear fuselage could be painted silver or ALG-1 yellow primer.
The example under restoration by Rusavia has different colors: light blue pipe frame, ALG-5 primier floor and lower seat, black seat armor, yellow wooden structure.
I don't know if they have found traces of old paint on the restored wreckages. On most restored Polikarpovs, green and light blue are the dominant colors in the cockpit.
