Man, that's a great plane Maxim! I just bought the Trumpeter MiG-3 and that's exactly how I want the paint to look. Thanks for the inspiration!

A braying "donkey" for sure! (Hee-haw! Hee-haw!) One of the most realistic winter schemes i have seen on a model.
Maxim Bylkin said on August 7, 2013
Thank you, Tom!

I'm not a fan of winter cameo. Most folks make the model look like a blank sheet of paper or a Polar Bear lost in a snow storm...and the model looks way too white. In this case the paint looks appropriate for the scale and has just enough weathering (Other than white) to look spot on.
Two thumbs up and " You like this" +1
