Plasmo’s models are probably the best I’ve ever seen

You know, I've been modeling and painting for most of my life, but I have never been able to hack apart a model with such confidence, let alone put it back together BETTER than it was before. That's so damned impressive.

I worked on these for 6 years. Good job. Just know that when the jet is running while wings are folded everything is straight. Only time they are bent is when the engines aren't running since no hydraulics are not going to them.

I learned something new from this video, like the fact that my jaw can apparently drop about three times lower than I always thought..

Its a snap kit, how hard can it be? PLASMO - "Hold my beer!"

I think the best thing you can, and you do it very well, is share the techniques you've learned and developed as a builder. You're very talented and simply by sharing these builds, you're doing a great service to the modeling community. Thank you, David, on behalf of all modelers.

This takes "model making" to a whole new level.👌 It seems you're limited only by your imagination and, using this method, you can build any version of a machine. I suppose the next logical step is to away with any kind of model to start with and just build from scratch with photographs and a vast supply of styrene components. It's certainly fun to watch, even if it leaves me feeling somewhat inadequate. Wonderful work David.👍 Cheers for now, Dougie.

This is not modelling this is art

Yay a new Plasmo Video🤩

I just finished watching the 40 minute one he did on this plane and just realized something...I'm REALLY surprised, with his unbelievable eye for detail, that he missed ONE thing that you'll very often see with parked F-18s...one exhaust nozzle is usually open more than the other. IIRC, the starboard one is often much more open than the port. I have no clue why this is, but I've seen it in dozens of photos and in person at airshow static displays. That would've been very interesting to see how he would do that detail. This one, though, with the flaps, slats, rudders, and wing-fold is MIND-BLOWING. What a gift Plasmo has. I just discovered him and his videos today, by accident. And, I have ALREADY learned more techniques, solutions, and ideas in the three videos I've watched so far than I have in the past 47 years of modeling COMBINED!

The person who designed this at Academy was probably very proud of their low part count and ease of assembly. Then here comes Plasmo, cutting it into pieces! But to be fair, you did a very good job, thank you for the video!

Taking it that giant step further! 😎 Amazes me how you can turn a simple basic snap kit into something totally remarkable, including your own moulded resin parts also makes it stand out even. Great work as always 👌👌

"..it's easy.." this will be my motivation from now on....

Awesome conversion. Having just watched 10 seasons of JAG I am loving the Hornet & Tomcat at the moment.

You are the best! And I don't say that quite often to anyone... I am more and more impressed with another video made by you. Congrats master

Cool conversion! The model takes on a whole other look with these mods. From basic to expert. 👍

9 seconds and a thumbs up... impressive

Men watch top gun for the jets. Plasmo watches them for his models.

David thankyou for sharing your modeling talents with us it inspires me and makes me thankful that my Dad got me into this hobby many years ago take care .Adrian

Truly a total A+ grade vid on how to scratch build a conversion. Not using 3'd party resin or the likes. I have learned so much from this vid. Awesome work mate :)

Outstanding eye for detail and the skill to make detail from nothing.

Wooooow!!!! I don't build models, only watch videos of you and others in KZfaq BUT I have to say this is the BEST video I have seen. Making modifications is top notch and they looked great.

Dekuji! Vaše umění se mi opravdu líbilo.

Your builds are fantastic and very inspiring. Thank you from Texas.

Top-notch workmanship, easy-to-follow instruction, and excellent results. Thank you for sharing all of that!

Can’t ever get enough of Mr Damek’s content, never seems to be afraid of tackling the most complex of conversions which make a run of the mill model, a masterpiece. I wonder David if you would accept a challenge to modify a civil airliner, say a 1/144 Boeing 747 in a landing configuration, full flap deployment with wheels hanging free just prior to touchdown. It’s a very complex arrangement, but I’m certain you would work a solution.

*Hey Plasmo*, I am anticipating that at some time in the near future you will not bother getting a plastic kit to construct a model with anymore - you will just simply make the whole damn thing yourself from a sheet of plastic, some modeling putty, a few pieces of wire, a few rubber bands and some plastic glue ! With your amazing skills, the model would probably turn out better than any commercially produce kit could ever be. Amazing work David, truly amazing.

Plasmo's modeling skills never cease to amaze me. 1/72 working jet engine model when ?

Are you kidding me? This is extraordinary. You are THE master of scale modelling.

The time and care you put into a simple model are astounding. I would love to see you tackle something bigger like a Trumpeter 1/200 scale ship at some point, even though I know they are insanely expensive and the upgrade parts cost even more. Maybe a Patreon reach goal...?

Hi David. One great video again! You are a plastic surgeon. Please continue.

Thanks to your videos i have started makin plastic models again, thank you! :)

už dlouho posouváte hranice modelařiny do kosmických výšin ...no a dnes ... to uz je hodně hluboký kosmír ...fantastická práce ! :)

Excellent conversion and fabrication process!

You are, hands down, a modeling genius!

7:40 to save loads of time, and details on the plastic moulding, apply the filler with a stick in to the line, then gently wipe away the excess with a lightly-dampened sponge.

I do prefer the JLC saw & it's blades. It's magic in your mits, precise cuts and panel line repairs. But you are correct, the blades do easily break. This scale I don't touch, not that it's too small. I just don't like it. Great job on this kit, you really added a bunch of detail with precise cutting and attention to real detail. Nice work on the wing tip fold actuator. Casting also! Good stuff David!

I guss You are the best of the best modelers I have ever seen before in the world...

Your videos have inspired me to do a massive project for my bedroom

Always another level of detail. Inspired is what I am.

Great channel and great work. Always waiting for new releases. Recently, my wife gave me a present F-18 1/72. I will collect it as it is out of the box just for collection. But the work here is amazing. I especially like the information content of the channel. The tool, the thickness of the plastic, the brand and the marking of the paint, chemistry are always indicated ... There is always a lot of new and useful information for modelers. It helps me to make purchases of exactly what is needed in stores. Thank you.

A few videos ago I jokingly said that Plasmo is not far from recreating the entire injection mould to get better results. It looks like that moment is closer than I anticipated. :D

Modeling and video editing are both fantastic!

Wow, absolutly stunning. Well done David!!

totally astonishing work...speechless

You sir are incredible. Every video blows my mind.

Awesome! You build dioramas....a cool one would be to have a navy jet on a base ready for take off. Blast door up, suspension compressed , catapult engaged, I think with your skill it would be beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

OMG one of my favorite airplanes from when I was a child! Thank you! BTW your channel made me start modelling :D I started simple with Gunplas and learning all the tidbits to get to a good level!

Bravo! Thanks for sharing the whole process in such detail.

Man that’s one crazzzzzy conversion David, well done!!!

1/72 is such a tiny scale. I'm impressed

Plasmo model in 1 72 scale are pure magic

I just can repeat myself: You are a master!

Increíble trabajo!

Wow dude, just wow!

your skills are unmatched.

I swear. Every time I make a model. He makes the same one. But 100x better

David, today i want to thank you for your great Videos and thank you that you share your work with us. They are the reason why i reactivatet this hobby after years for me. And my first Kit (a BF 109 in 1/72 scale) after this long time looks awesome, thanks to your instructions. Please stay by your work and share it with us. Greetings from Germany. ☺

David, an amazing tutorial as usual, thank you for another amazing video!! Awesome job on the conversion kit!!

And I'm just happy when I don't glue my fingers to the model. Great work as usual

David......you are THE model guru

I made this mod to a 1:48th scale F-18E some years ago, I got bored mid-way and it's still in a box somewhere. You have my respect sir.

Your videos are so peaceful to watch. This truly is art.

Plasmo the Jedi master of modelling

Great project, and I love you are making the parts available in resin! Please! Do a fire engine! There is a large group of fire apparatus builders who would all be grateful, and it should open a ton of doors for your creative mind!

Wow! Your work is just amazing!

In a word simply Awesome work well done sir, well done.

Exceptional work. I like that you got such a nice build from a rather cheap kit.

Awesome job the "by yourself" resin parts!!!

Impressive work David

That's a lot of work but totally worth it! It looks great in the end!

Thanks for the tutorial, Your skills are out of this world good.

Very good to see your techniques. Keep them coming.

Nicely done with the resin parts!

Wow awesome work mate I love the detail.

Now you are just showing off. Great work.

Incredible job as usual, eager to see what’s next!

Simply fantastic.

I never saw so many CMK saws in one video! Great done! ;)

You are simply amazing and God Level Modeling....

Your so lucky to have so many models and modelling skills!

Pure Perfection.!!...100x!.On DETAILS.!

This is by far your best conversion video to date David. Was wondering when you would start making resin upgrade parts for sale. Great plane to start that adventure. Thanks for dropping your knowledge on us. Stay healthy. ~Chase~

I find his voice so soothing

Well done Plasmo, not just for a beautiful conversion, but also for a clear and easy-to-understand tutorial!! That said though, I think I've still got a way to go before I can follow it and get the same results...

I always hit the like button before I watch the video, since I already know it will be great.

Plasmo, your work is amazing can’t wait for your next video😁

You are the MAN!!! Best scale modeler on youtube. I Would love to see you do a kit bash with the NASA 747 and the Space Shuttle on it's back.

Super! Great job!

Hi, t's nice work. You had taken so much works for sawing. But the finish is very nice ! Thank you.

David, you are a maniac. I love it.

NO ONE: ABSOLUTELY NO ONE: PLASMO:I have to make some improvements....You know me AFTER LOTS OF IMPROVEMENT: It is OK.But ı have to do this more.

Frakk yeah, Plasmo has finally gotten into DIY resin parts. Man, you've no idea for how long i've been waiting for you to do this. It's the next logical step, in model making. Can't wait to see what else you cook up, because now that the door has been opened, the sky is the limit.

Very impressive it really looks the part.

I used to rebuild the wing fold hinge system on these aircraft

I’m watching your channel with great pleasure, although I don’t understand English ... The workmanship is amazing, beyond praise)) I wish the channel development.

One Word -WOW ! I thought from the thumbnail this was at least 1:48 , maybe 1:32 ?? Super Hornet one of my favorites . Good to see you again😊 Wales UK.

I found a lost piece while watching this. The timing was perfect as I found it at 7:41 and the music was fitting.

Fantastic! Can't wait for part 2!

That was past masterful. I am in awe of what you can do.
