I have a feeling the ones offered by Jet Aces and Troy Built will be the same thing.
If the model is based on the MiG-3 by R.R. I'm just going to give up modeling and find some other hobby to pick up. The Chinese are slowly ruining this hobby by taking any of the skill required out of it other than flying. It used to be if you want something not a P-51, P-47 or Spitty, you built it. Now with cheap labour, they can crank out anything quickly and cheaply. ANd while at it suck up all the balsa on the planet, raising the prices to the point you gotta buy an ARF because you can't afford the sheet and stick stock to build your own, not to mention if any of the kit manufactures are even going to be left by 2010 at the rate we are losing them now...
If you see opportunity there, I know of at least one kit line that's for sale.
Best wishes,
