This is a fictional "what if" repaint of Swingman's beautiful Yak-18 Max Ski version with a field expedient "whitewash" paint scheme. It is my very first repaint for an Flightsim model and while I know it isn't perfect, the intent was to make the Yak-18 Ski version look more in it's natural environment in snow. The whitewash effect idea comes from photos I have seen of aircraft and ground vehicles that were hastily covered with white paint by hand using brushes, brooms, mops and other application methods which were often very crude and left edges and other parts uncovered by the paint. The whitewash paint would usually wear very quickly and likewise be easily removed back to the base color.
