Replicating Snowfall on a Parked Aircraft

[Cliffy B]

Evening all, I came across this photo while researching a project and I wanted to gather some input on how to replicate this effect.

I have a Minicraft 1/144 C-54 that I seriously considering covering with snow just like in the photo.  I've read about using white glue (PVA) and covering that with baking soda.  Any other methods?  Would/could you flat the the baking soda after it all dries?  Ideas?

Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions, etc... are appreciated as always.

There are plenty of products you can buy, I bought some snow flocking once but never got around to using it.  It looks pretty good but it's not cheap.  You can get weathering sticks too that are supposed to work well.

Regarding baking soda & PVA, I've seen it done & it looks pretty good, someone on here did one.  I think you need to seal it in with something, because if water gets anywhere near baking soda it'll spoil it.

Great photo.

I once did a 1/48th TB-25K from the Korean War in a snowy, winter setting.

The base was essentially PSP lanking with snow brushed away to the edges, and a frosty, snow clear area.
The TB-25K was essentially the Mongram kit with engines, cockpit and nose covered with tarpaulin.
I created the heavy frost/light snow effect by spraying white primer from some height and distance, bit by bit, to give a fairly even but light effect.
