It is funny when youtube forgets that is not 1. April 😂 The first uploaded version of the video did not have sound, and the quality was only 360p. The best was that on my PC was sounds ok but on my mobile phone not so much 😢 Thanks for the info and comments that reuploading is neccesty. I hope, now is all fine. At least it looks like that.

Once again you have provided modelers worldwide with powerful inspiration and a multitude of modeling tips and techniques for construction, finishing, and weathering scale model aircraft - and in this video some great insights into successfully working with photo-etch!! Please accept my sincere thanks for this video and all of the videos on your channel. I've been butchering styrene for almost 60 years and I always learn something to improve my modeling when I watch your videos. You are an indispensable resource for the scale modeling community!

Go for it! Remember, you don't have to make it as high-quality as PLASMO does. I'm personally not a big fan of the painting part of modelling, but I love building the kits, so I'll often just give my kits a basic single-color coat of paint once they've been built

I started in 2020 during quarantine when I had nothing to do, and it has now become one of my favorite hobby. I would say to start with a cheaper kit like an Airfix, and start small.

@bertrandviolette9008 2 жыл бұрын

Great job once again, especially at 1/72! Model makers, for information : Navy planes serving on carriers, have a slightly faded color, less contrasted, less shiny, due to salty air and sea water. And they are soiled by graphite-based anti-corrosion products.

@Darth_Giggles 2 жыл бұрын

Utterly speechless! One of my favourite aircraft of the era and you've utterly knocked it out the park. To think the sheer amount of detail you've put in at 72nd scale I would love to see what you could do with a similar build in 32nd scale. I can't wait to see what you have in line next. Hands down best scale modeller I've ever seen!

inspirational as ever. I started making models when I was 7 in 1993.. by the time I was 13-14 I stopped. I did a few in my 20's when I was on a downer and lonely. It brought me great joy. I then started back after seeing you videos 2 years ago. I've only managed 4 models. But really love it when I have the time to get into it. Thankyou for bringing back my childhood. I'm crap at it. But I find it extremely therapeutic.

Joe Smith I am 55 and back building models. We are our own worse judges. Do not underestimate your abilities. The only thing that matters is the journey. I have a very high stress job and I find it therapeutic, as well. With each one I get better and I try new techniques. Well, I like to think I am getting better and that is all that matters. Denial is wonderful thing. Haha.

I never had the desire to weather my models as I liked the 'new showroom' look. I very rarely make comments but after watching this video of he Avenger . . . . . absolutely awesome dood. You clearly have an eye for the colour combinations etc, which i don't as i'm slightly colour blind. The time and dedication that you've clearly submitted to this model has most certainly paid off. I think I will be watching more of your very well presented videos. I will buy some cheap and cheerful models and just start by playing around. You have been most inspirational to me, thank you
