Unfortunately, it never entered massive production.

Looks like a Shapeways request.

Looks like a cross between a Hawker Hurricane and a Morane Saulnier MS.406.
Unofficial stats for the IK-3:
Manouver Deck: C (manouverable, top speed 526kmh)
Damage Points: 17
Firepower: AC/B (1 x 20mm, 2 x 7.92mm)
Climb Rate: 3 (14.3 m/s)
Maximum Altitude: 10 (8000 metres)
Karl,
My hobby friendly SWMBO noted I should slow down a bit. So, I'm going undercover for a few months. Or am I?
Carl, I found some different data about ceiling and climb rate.
Ceiling 9400m (which could be possible) and 12000m (which I don't believe in).
Climb rates are 7:49 min (it's 10,65 m/s) and app. 7:00 min (11,9 m/s) to 5000m.

Here are some pics - prototype production in Rogozharski factory in Belgrade, and cockpit of IK-3:
Carl,
that's what I had in mind, too.

Why, Baldrick..... WHY?
Hmm... Dark side offers unthinkable pleasures...
I edited your post with later agreed values, I hope you don't mind.
I've done some additional research, and found out that IK3 actually had better maneuverability than Me 109 E3, (still worse than Spit) but it was slower (top speed 526kmh). Is it still C deck, or some other?
One important thing. For some reason, IK3 was never armed with incendiary ammo. Would it reflex damage she makes, and how?
I'd stay with the C deck, myself. The lack of incendiary ammo doesn't effect the gun ratings in WGS that I know of, so don't worry about it.

Maybe we'll see a prototype miniature at SummerCon 2015?

I'm not allowed to confirm, deny, or comment in any way anything concerning existence or non-existance of airplane prototypes
Looks like the front end of a Spitfire and the rear end of a Hurricane joined just aft of the cockpit. Nice find for 1/144th though.
See you on the Dark Side......
Nice-looking; but like just about every other Euro bird of the period, badly underarmed.
From another forum, about IK3:

First test - 1/144 scale... 1/200 to follow later

Edit - looking a few more pics there might be a couple more changes to the exhausts and vents later today. The drawings I had were not all that good.
OK - 1/144 model updated now
Double 1/200 model now uploaded

Thanks Paul; added to the wish list (along with a bunch of other planes )
Any plans on reducing the 1/144 LaGG 5 to 1/200?

Thanks, Paul
I've got to get around to finishing off the La5 and La5FN first. No plans for the LaGG just yet, have to finish the SB2 also.
Just too many models on the go at the moment
WW1 tanks, soviet missiles and bombs!, Pfalz's Gotha's (1/350), various 1/1250 ships and armoured cars
It looks a lot more useful than the australian home grown Boomerang aircraft.
It was not under-armed, at least comparing to contemporary Me 109, and it had success in direct clashes with the latter, although slower. If somehow survived, it would probably be developed to gain extra fire power... Even Hurricane started with poor fire power and later was given 4 cannons.
Main problem with IK-3 is that it never actually had a chance to develop. And without further developing, it would soon become obsolete. But we'll never know.
Thank you for the picture, Nemanja.
Already fired the rep gun for the IK-3 scenario.
Voilā le soleil d'Austerlitz!
There were already acft. with 4-6 0.50s, or 6-8 0.30s; by that point, even the -109s had 4-5 guns (-E models). So the IK-3's firepower was, even by 1941 standards, not good. Then there's the other problems mentioned; I doubt developing the IK-3 further would have been justified.
I'm aware of that and i do mostly agree. Nevertheless, it had good performance vs. Me 109. It was not inferior, for sure. I believe model could be improved, even as hypothetical "IK-3 B, C, D..." or so. That's what I had in mind when talking about development.
It could be nice to have that model in 1:200 scale.
I like these "what if" options with less known planes of WWII. Four Shapeways PZL P-24 in 1:200 scale are on my workbench nowadays.

I didn't want to open new topic, so I decided to ask question here.
Should Hawker Hurricane Mk IIc armed with 4 x 20mm Oerlikon guns have firepower CCCC / CC or I'm wrong?
And what maneuver deck it would use?

I'm shure that Rob presented a pair of cannon armed Hurricanes in the "Fire in the Skies" section.
The Hurries crushed a few Italian armored cars in North Africa.
Unfortunately I did not found it.

Gracias, seņor!
I have trop, so I'll use K deck, as you suggest
