This was my first model... A red and grey Matchbox that my brother gave to me as a gift in my birthday number five. 45 years later I have a room devoted to this wonderful hobby... Greetings from Chile🇨🇱
I serviced hundreds of piston and jet powered aircraft when I was a USAF fueler back in the '70s. Not one of them looked like it just rolled off the assembly line. I've also done some modeling in my time but none of it would compare with what this young man does. It all depends on the desire for realism.
@@npc6817 In this case, it's completely appropriate for the model to look immaculate; the 1930s RAF took great pride in the condition of it's biplane fighters which were always maintained in near factory fresh finish.
Dear Sir Doesn't matter how many times I watch this video I am mesmerised by the way the appearant sheer simplicity of the build masks such a high level of skill and ability. In truth there is no simplicity at all just raw talent carries all before it. It is such a joy to watch a true master at work Yours faithfully MrD53
I have very fond memories of this kit in its original form, it came in a plastic bag. I built this in 1965 or 1966, and was one of my first plastic kits. It's good to see it again, and built so well.
The only person I've seen confident enough to mask and cut the canopy frames after putting the upper wing on. I hated doing that small canopy without it on.
I made this model as a kid (before you were born!) and it looked like a kid had made it too! I don't even build model aircraft any more but always look forward to your videos. Superb work as always.
This was very helpful. Right now I am working on a P-47 Thunderbolt and I needed an example of how to weather Silver because my plane is mostly painted silver. Thanks for the video.
David, I love watching your videos. You sir are a talent. I would love to see you build a Top Fuel Dragster. the detail work you could put into the motor would be awesome. Keep bringing us great videos and models!!!!!
Hey David, could you explain (or maybe make a video) the difference between different glues and cements? Revell, Mr Cement, etc. You seem to use several in each model you make...
Hi!! What surface do you tint with oil? Glossy or matt or semi-matte? Could you make a separate guide to aviation toning (including modern)? Its so missing on youtube ... good luck with other, your models is wery well!
Hey David! You have been keeping many of your tips and skills from us HA HA. Love the iron for the rigging! Kraznia ! I would love to try those ABL paints, they did a great job with panel lines and the weathering the wings. Thank you.
Christian Howarth wow thats quite a gap i used to listen to rammstein too i still do from time to time. Do you use the youtube copyright free songs for the videos?
I bought a four pack of 1/72 Airfix aircraft (A6M2b, Curtiss Hawk H-81A-2, Supermarine Spitfire Mk1a, and Bf109E-3)(four different dioramas with 1/350 & 1/200 B25’s, being attacked or escorted). I had initially bought & intended to use PE interiors, but then I realized that with the canopy closed & pilot seated, you’ll never see the cockpit detail through the crappy, wavy “glass”. Then I finally decided, since I’m shooting for a gold medal in dioramas, I started to go to town on the Zero. So, I’m sanding and polishing the canopies so you can actually see inside and I’m going to go ahead and execute an exercise in futility. I’m detailing the crap out of the cockpits (since the canopies are going to be crystal clear), removing and positioning the control surfaces, painting the insignia & markings, blurring the props, and chipping & weathering them all. Also the Zero will probably be just starting to explode in mid-air and the 109 will will have battle damage & smoking. Both are being shot at by B25’s hiding between the cloud layers. Anyway, at 1/72 I don’t blame you for just doing the bare minimum in the cockpit. I just hope I don’t regret putting in the effort to only just catch a minuscule glimpse of the interior. But hay, if I’m going to ask $400-$600 for the dioramas after the, hopefully gold medal, model show appearance/win, I need to pour my heart and soul into it. As expected, you produced yet another great build. And that’s a pretty cool trick with the soldering iron to tighten up the “cables”. I’ll have to remember that one when I get around to building the WWI dogfight diorama that I’d like to do some day. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your knowledge and tips. 👍👍
The gloster gladiator with those markings is currently on display at the shuttleworth collection in Bedfordshire in the uk its a great museum housing some of the rarest and most interesting aircraft in the world 5 stars from me
Very nice! I just finished building the Mk.II boxing of this in the Finnish colours. I haven't' seen that method for the wing ribs before, it looks great!

Realistic weathering is nice and all but sometimes you want some fresh off the factory feeling too.
Remember to especially in wartime aircraft were turned FAST! Little care was given adide from making the aircraft airworthy .

Good to see airfix getting some recognition

10:11 when the super glue is dried up, i use black magic to adjust the wire length

This is a new tooled kit, not the original

a great quick build . loved the way you did the rigging and panel lines
What a stunning result you achieved on your Gladiator! Thank you for the great video showing every step of your build process. I enjoyed it immensely.
I was really impressed with the wing wires and making them taught with heat. Your a Pro. Thanks for the video tips.
Terrific quick build. Beautiful.
As always David, a fantastic build and video, thanks for sharing.
Looks great, as always!
always a joy to watch your work
As always David, great project and video, thanks for sharing.
This is pure art! So addicting!!!!
Superb, as usual. You're the man plasmo!
Very beautiful results. Wonderful craftsmanship. Bravo!
That's art work right there, beautiful job.
really a work of art, well done.
im enjoying the jazz... its a nice change from all the techno all model makers play
Brilliant build of a beautiful little fighter. Very well done!
As usual; just wonderful! I always enjoy your videos.
Excellent work. Beautiful model.
As always another excellent video 👍🏻
Always a top quality video. The detail is amazing. I even like the music.
Amazing work!!!
You make it look easy. I wish I had your skill. Really fun to watch an artist!
Yet again you have amazed me
Amazing use of the soldering iron to tension the rigging. What a beautiful build you did here, well done!
Excellent detail!
Excellent build for such a small model. Nice work!
Superb, as usual!
I love the way you casually do stuff that I would slave hours over. You are a Maestro!
Absolutely brilliant 👏👌 enjoyed it very much 🤗
beautifully done !
Very cool.... the matchbox comparison at he end was great. I often forget how small 1:72 really is! Thanks for posting
Awesome build as usual. The trick with the soldering iron on the rigging amazed me, I nearly fell off my chair.
I like the jazz, makes the video very classy
Superb model - superb video.
Stunning!
Dude, it's amazing!
Brilliant work, another piece of art!
very well made video as well!
keep up the good work!
thanks
Fantastic !!!
Fantastic David - so the soldering iron shrinks the ringing - I've never seen that before - wonderful
It's very beautiful, David!
Fine work 🔥
very nice work
True artist!
Amazing! Keep up the good work!
hello david. its one of my favorite of your videos just because of the music. damn thats relaxing to watch. love your stuff
Nicely done Plasmo
Another great video....beautiful work good buddy....and excellent music too! 👍👌👏
I made this model as a kid (before you were born!) and it looked like a kid had made it too! I don't even build model aircraft any more but always look forward to your videos. Superb work as always.
Really liked this build, particularly on your approach to rigging, it makes me more confident to tackle biplanes in the future using these techniques!
I love your vids, I have been modeling for a few years now and I am learning alot from you. Please Keep up the good work.
the man has skills! nice job.
This is amazing !!!!
fantastic!
nice job love it
Wow that's a great way to tighten the rigging wires never seen that before
Awesome!!
Great work David :)
stunning
Great music choice - better than the heavy metal, classical or eurodisco stuff you usually get on modelling videos
Superb model and I really enjoyed your video putting it together. I cannot understand the 22 people that didn't like it.
Just wonderful
trusted Glad looks awesome, makes me want to take it for a fly-out in Warthunder :-) great background music as usual, kudos!
This was very helpful. Right now I am working on a P-47 Thunderbolt and I needed an example of how to weather Silver because my plane is mostly painted silver. Thanks for the video.
wow. love the rigging.
Great music.
great video as usual! :)
Excellent

Plasmo, you add weathering to everything
I swear if you make a dog you'll add weathering to it
actually, my full name is: David Weathering Damek :-D
You didn't weather the propeller and wheels this time :-/
lol you are a legend
i dont mind the heavier weathering. everyone's personal preference tho
Hi!! What surface do you tint with oil? Glossy or matt or semi-matte? Could you make a separate guide to aviation toning (including modern)? Its so missing on youtube ...
good luck with other, your models is wery well!
Wow, you do such a good job. I thought I was being clever as a kid by heating a pin and making bullet holes in the fuselage

Great music. Fantastic build.
Thanks. Music is almost random. I do not know what people like. I personally listen to Rammstein or classical music.
Christian Howarth wow thats quite a gap i used to listen to rammstein too i still do from time to time. Do you use the youtube copyright free songs for the videos?
No anymore. I pay every month for music from the Epidemic sound. It is not much, and they are offering thousands great tracks for youtube videos.
Very nice.
Nádherný model :O

Amazing.
Добрый вечер. Давно ждал от Вас видео, очень порадовали. Отличная модель, хорошая сборка. Поздравляю с удачным проектом.
un artista!
well done!

Plasmo , я всегда поражаюсь твоей дотошности, как миниатюрные детали собираешь и клеишь на ногте. Very good ! ! !
Андрей,этот Плазмо судя по акценту не англичанин...Наверное,чех-у них качество работы явно выше западноевропейцев.
Cool!👍👍👍
Very nice! I just finished building the Mk.II boxing of this in the Finnish colours. I haven't' seen that method for the wing ribs before, it looks great!
Artist!
Learned a couple of meat tricks .... thanks!!
Wow. Airfix really went to town on the re-tool.
Yayyy a new vid!
шикарно
