What a brilliant job you have done on this beautiful kit! When I was a kid, we had no information on the kits we chose except the box art, now we have you bloggers, who show us how it is done, and scare the hell out of us! Thank you and all the others for giving of your time and experience! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧 Mind you, I could give you a run for your money where it comes to sculpting figures!😉😉😉☺
Absolutely incredible. I would never have even thought of the crosses showing through the fabric. You have an incredible knack of noticing things like that. This model looks amazing but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised as every model you make is a work of art!
Wow. 35 Years of modeling, and it takes a RUclips video to show me the paint pouring trick with the stick. Now I’m embarrassed 😳. I just binge watch your videos, due to corona boredom. Nice, nice, nice 👍. You’re amongst the best!
Perfect, I was going to ask you for a video on how you imitated the wing fabric. I noticed on your previous video that the crosses seemed to be visible 'through' the semi-transparent wings, although I was sure that it was one of your amazing tricks. Now I'll find out! Love your videos! :-)
Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to make these videos and share your amazing skills and experience with your fellow modellers. I am inspired to start again a hobby I enjoyed a long time ago!
Thanks for sharing David! Although fabric imitation is not something completely new, it always nice to see technique "in action". About coping "crosses". I also prefer to paint those for many reasons (including shading like you did). I just make a copy of decal sheet on copy machine first and cut masks on the copied paper, not on decals directly. And before I apply mask on surface, I put cut cross on the wing. I use it as a guide to help myself apply mask accurately. Then remove cross... And I love the idea of imitating wing transparency and how you imitate this by painting cross and letters on the bottom side of the wing. And it would make it even more realistic to paint cross and letters with blurred, boarder. All the best to you from Riga.
Excellent video/tutorial, loved how you showed the markings showing through the fabric - nice touch (well, other than painting the 'N' backwards - lol)! Great looking model too.
I loved seeing the thought process at 8:15. "This way...wait...yes thats correct......wait.......yes." Great work David. Lots of thought in to the details is what sets your models apart.
It always blows me away how such a simple technique will produce amazing results. I would be racking my brain for months trying to figure this out and try to find all these fancy materials.
Thanks so much for posting your work, the level of skill and attention to detail is astounding. I've learned many useful techniques and I admire very much your eye for detail and balance.
Great video. You are so talented. Sharing your skills is a great help to people like myself trying to get back into model making and improving our skills. Thank you!
This just great paining work and knowledge to learn, no matter your painting hobby. The plane turned out so nice I want to spread my Duck wings and fly with it.
Silly me I always thought the "plain jane" WWI planes without "colorful markings" were boring after watching this...I admit I was wrong and it opens up so many more possibilities. Thank You David Damek for sharing your techniques. Too bad youtube and the internet wasn't around 40-50 years ago I could have had a museum full of finished plastic models by now! I'm subscribed!
Very cool tutorial! One brave soul flying the plane at the beginning. I don't think I'd have the guts to go up in that thing! Lol would be very cool to shave the thickness of the wings to almost transparent.
Great video. I'm trying my hand at my first ever Bi-Plane, a Fokker D.VIII and I love getting info from you. Couple of thoughts, haw about a video on who you are? Also, When will you build a fire truck? There are some great fire truck kits out there!
Stunning. This says as much about your ability as it does about your observation skills. I am returning to modelling after a 30 year gap. The hardest part was accepting the "best of my ability" bit, but with inspiration like this...who knows? Thanks again.
Hi there, maybe an idea. Our aircraft painters in the hangar use mask as well. After taking out the parts where paint should go they cover up the whole mask with another layer of low tack adhesive foil. The whole lot is removed and placed on the aircraft skin, it makes it easier to place it correctly. Then the cover foil is removed and paint applied. This way the are even able tho place items that are not attached to the main mask. Cheers Andree
Matching color by eye is not easy. I do it and try to write down what I did so I can do it again. You have some damn good buiilds. Keep it up. This video is just one good reason to subscribe.
I could live to a 120 and would never get anywhere near your level of expertise - this is a work of art - simple as! :)
Thats the wonderful part of this hobby. No license. No rules. You constantly learn by doing and research! Been doin it 45 yrs!
Great tutorial. Even after 56 years of model building I can learn new tricks. What a beautiful hobby we have🖒
Once again I’m blown away. Just incredible artistry. Thank you for taking the time to share these techniques!
Phew! I was starting to think I was one of the last people alive to match colours by eye! Love your work mate.
Yeah, but what if there's a person who matches colours by taste?
Taste
You kind of do modeling process an injustice, sir. You make it look way too easy. Amazing job.
David--You are a smart man and a true artist--I never would have thought to do an optical illusion like that.
Now that's clever. Thanks for sharing!
Nice work! I must get some of the plain Sticker sheet masking, can't wait. Thank you. Good job
I think this is the best model you have shown us....wonderful work.
What a brilliant job you have done on this beautiful kit!

I really don't get tired of watching these videos over and over again, PLASMO you are a crac brother, saludos desde México
finally by accident I saw the face of PLASMO... thank you for your videos , your builds are excellent....
Absolutely incredible. I would never have even thought of the crosses showing through the fabric. You have an incredible knack of noticing things like that. This model looks amazing but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised as every model you make is a work of art!

Ur not the only one, Theo!
As ever David, your skill in modelling is matched by your ability to demonstrate clearly. Thank you!
Perfect, I was going to ask you for a video on how you imitated the wing fabric.

Now I'll find out!
Love your videos! :-)
Great to see mixing paints by eye instead of relying on charts/percentages, David. Great video - the translucency of your wings is amazing!
Simply love your work of art!
Sinlo Kemp simply or Sincerely
Another fantastic video!
Excellent tutorial 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Magnificent tutorial. Relaxing to watch with appropriate music. Thank you
wow. I watch a lot of modellers on RUclips. Many of them are superb but your works are always amazing to see. Great work David
11:13 I call this: "How to become solid styren in a transparent styren". Fantastic work man.
WOW YOU ALWAYS THE BEST OF YOUR PROJECT...You are my mentor for that...
Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to make these videos and share your amazing skills and experience with your fellow modellers. I am inspired to start again a hobby I enjoyed a long time ago!
Great work on the wing shading technique, and good to see someone knows it’s all reversed on the underside for a change.
Your own work, Harry, is pretty good
Chicken soup for us Aussies!
Once again a piece of art!!! Thank you for sharing your technique...
Just awesome. The British would say Wizard. Thanks for the presentation as well. Most excellent.
Big thanks David for this technic
Outstanding! I truly love watching your work. As always, thank you for sharing.
Steve

Another excellent video, David. Thanks!

I have never seen that done before.....making the wings appear transparent is incredible. Well done David 👍
Lol !! One dislike? Somebody must be freaking jealous!!!
Godlike work man

Clever ! Very good work ! Thank you for this tips ! Excellent !
I just made my Oeffag with these steps and the overall result is very satisfying. Great tutorial!
Just outstanding fantastic detail OMG
Going to try this on my next WWI biplane build. Thank you for the tip David. This technique certainly helps bring the model to life. 😊
very nice the whole assembling of this plane is very nice too!!
Your technique is fantastic. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thanks so much for posting your work, the level of skill and attention to detail is astounding. I've learned many useful techniques and I admire very much your eye for detail and balance.
Wow this is really great. I never knew how to replicate the fabric effect. Thank you!
That is a level of detail that is incredible.. Wow.!!
That is amazing. Such attention to detail.
Outstanding David. You're an inspiration! I LOVE the music in your videos as well. Thank you!
Way cool! Love the shadow on the bottom of the wing and then the final rendering using oils> Fantastic Model in the end.
Great video. You are so talented. Sharing your skills is a great help to people like myself trying to get back into model making and improving our skills. Thank you!
WOW !!!! Super video ! Vy jste prostě super modelář za mě palec nahoru ;)
Your an amazing artist. I love watching and learning from you.
Amazing work. Looks like I have something to try now.
Your see-through effect was brilliant!
This just great paining work and knowledge to learn, no matter your painting hobby. The plane turned out so nice I want to spread my Duck wings and fly with it.
I was re-watching you video for some tips on a WW1 Neiuport 17 I was building. Great work sir.
Fantastic, best realistic paint job ever on a model
I always appreciate your work. The result is always surprisingly great. Keep up all the good work!
What Snowbird said, with one caveat, I no longer find the result surprising. As ever, superb! :- )
That is a very pretty model. Looks like something straight out from Rise of Flight.
That was a fantastic video. Very easy and effective. Thank you for doing it.

Beautiful work, every time a new original method👍🏻

Quite simply stunning work....
Absolutely fantastic work! I usually do scale armor but this is making me want to pick up a plane kit. Keep it up!
Did you do some planes? I find them a bit more of a challenge than tanks. However I still find myself looking at more Shermans and other AFVs.
Fantastic work as usual very informative
thank you again great job thank you for sharing
Impressive. Great work! Thanks
The end results looks incredible. This model has got to be winning golds if entered into shows
Прекрасная работа! СУПЕР
Thank you for the lovely tutorial. I am trying to mimic the way you did your wings for my WingNutWings.
Felicitaciones !!! Excelente trabajo !!!
Speechless again.
This model belongs in a museum.
Brilliant, with great tips.
I've so been wanting to find out how to do this!!!! Thanks so much!!!
The use of music in your videos is also masterful. Happy New Year,David.
Thank you for that, enjoyed it very much 🖒
The Best a ever see, great work, thank you.
