I have been building plastic models now for 52 years I started when I was 10. I never had the confidence to paint small parts such as bolts on a 1/48. Watching all of your videos inspired me. I got a cheap fine point brush and just dived in. To my surprise I’m actually pretty good at it. I would have never tried unless I had watched all your great videos - OLD DOGS CAN LEARN NEW TRICKS. Thanks David keep making great videos and I’ll keep watching them.
I've been watching your movies for a while now and as an former plastic model builder I must admit, your workshop is simply stunning. Your creativity and skills are very high and while there are very good plastic models out there, as well as very skilled modellers, you have it all - the knowledge, the feel of aesthetics, respect and love to history. Thank you for sharing your work!
I had the great pleasure to work on one of the real ones and test bench it. Clicked cause I’m building a 1/16 Camel and the Britannia casting is sub par so I’m looking at ideas to mask the seams and bring some life to it. Thanks!
Davide bomba jako vždy. Na každé tvoje video se moc těším.Vracím se k modelařině po skoro 25 letech a s úžasem sleduju,kam se to všechno posunulo. každopádně díky za inspiraci,to je studijního materiálu na celý život :-)
wow, awesome! I've got to paint 4 of these on a 1/48 B-24 so this video helps a lot, but your pure talent still amazes me! Keep up the great work! Thanks
Hey PLASMO: Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your build videos. I have picked up some good model building tips from them. Thank you very much for sharing your model building skills!
Thank you David for this great video. I will be starting a new build soon, (Hasegawa 1/32 Mitsubishi Zero), and this will certainly help make for a more realistic finished model.
Well done, again. I envy your steady hands, my hand/eye coordination isn't what it used to be, but you inspire me to try harder and be patient. Good music too! Bruce
I needed to see this. I've got 4 to paint up for a 1/48 B17. I'm using OOB engine but know this can be made to look better than it comes. Thanks for the video.
Just amazing. Such skill; it's truly a pleasure to watch. Thank you very much for inspiring me and (this might sound cheesy ..) giving me hope in the human spirit.
Great informative video. To get chipping effect for bare metal (silver). I have been using a Sharpie - permanent marker - Silver metallic. You can make nice paint chipping effect. Also if you make a mistake you can use thinner to fix/clean the area. The Sharpie metallic marker (brass, gold, copper, silver) are very handy and easy to use for metal effects. Just sharing information since you do a lot of sharing your work.
No kamaráde ty si strašný frajer veru! Úplná dokonalosť ! Znova nemám slov... proste vždy onemiem keď pozerám ako to dokážeš dokonale vyšperkovať. Och kiež by moje modely vyzerali aspoň z polovice tak dobre ... čo z polovice aj z osminy by mi to stačilo :D Fakt krásna práca! Neskutočne super!
Nice tutorial! The only info I would like to pass on is that exhaust systems don't normally rust that heavily on active aircraft. Thye are normally pretty well preserved with oil and such.
i love ur videos and i think u are a great model builder. I admire that u have so many subs just for a model building chanel. The only thing is i don't understand a thing u say to be honest
Beautiful work! The only think I could possibly suggest is that the intake pipes from the supercharger might have been slightly discolored from heat, but most likely a blueish discoloration, whereas the exhaust pipes would have definitely had rust. Also (I once worked overhauling radial engines, specifically the ignition systems) the high-tension spark leads from the magnetos are a heavy, grease-resistant black rubber. Other then that, awesome work!!
