  Hi everybody.

  Im always wanted to build a winter russian airplane so here is it... Im always felt quite scared about winter scheme so this is my first one. The model was built OOB, this kit, just as all Classic Airframes it's GREAT, it came with a bunch of resin parts for cockpit interior and some photoetched parts. Builing this model was tricky though.

  The colors used were RLM 02 for interiors which I found very close to the russian interiors in WW2, Russian Underside Blue for undersurfaces and flat white for upper surfaces with some very light patches of light gray mixed up with white.

  I also used artist oil colors for weathering, I mixed up a ton of tones for some rust here and there, some wet and dryied mud for some panels near to the cockpit and earth tones for the landing gear bay and wheels. And of course a lot of pastels, I just found out Im being a pastels addict now! :-P

  Well, hope like this white Mig, this is my very first "white washed" airplane so don't be so hard with it. :-P

  Just kidding... I wait your critics, that's the only way we learn to improve ourselfs.
