I think any beginner would be happy with that result, but you my friend are not a beginner, you build and modify some amazing kits.

The fact that an artist as you are is taking the time to teach the basics to beginning modelers with this model to reach a very nice finish on their builds, is highly appreciated.

I love model making but the sheer complexity and comparing my efforts to others make me want to jack it in but videos like this really Inspire me.

The best advices for beginners are: - Try Your best - Finish the model, no matter what - Try again - Enjoy the process Eventually You will get there 🙂

Plasmo builds a box-stock model with tape and bailing wire, and of course it looks amazing.

I’ve been painting models with acrylics for about 6 years now, Warhammer, Bolt Action, and other similar wargames. And even though this is primarily aimed at beginners, I’ve managed to pick up quite a few tips and tricks from this! Amazing job as usual! Cheers!

babe wake up,plasmo new vid just dropped

Thank you for this. I really want to get back into modeling, but want to start small with minimal equipment. This type of video is very helpful.

You inspired me to go back to scale models after years of not touching it, and I learned so much from your videos! Thank you for the amazing content, good sir ✌🏻

Just a comment on you in general - You, sir, are my comfort food of model building. You're like macaroni and cheese with a little bacon thrown in, with a yummy dessert as well. I put on your videos when I get frustrated in a build or when am cruising along in one. Your presentation and skills teach me and support me - and I've ben building for 40 years.

One of the top two modelers on KZfaq IMHO. You're badass with the brushes, regardless if it has air or not.

The fun thing about model kits is the skill ceiling is just so, so high. I've been building for about 9 months now, and I'm still learning tons of new things. It really keeps the hobby from ever being dull. There are always new techniques to try, or new methods of doing things, or cool little tricks you can pick up. One of the reasons I love watching others build is seeing what they do and trying to apply it to my own.

There are so many tips in every video, and I can't thank you enough for sharing your first-class work with us!

Очень полезное видео, причем не только для новичков, для "взрослых" моделистов тоже есть что подчерпнуть. Спасибо!)

I’ve watched every one of your videos. Each one is a gift. Fascinating and mesmerizing, I am stunned with what you create and grateful for all the tips and techniques. Even a video created for beginners is a treasure trove of things to consider. Revisiting the “basics” is always a good thing. Thanks for your incredible efforts.

This video was way overdue broham! A how to, back to basics and bare minimals is what was missing on you channel. Thanks!!!

What a lovely simple tutorial David. Just the sort of thing I was looking for when I started. Still learned some things from this one too! Thanks

I am a seasoned modeller, yet I have never used an airbrush as my hand eye coordination has struggled in the past, but I find brush painting gives very realistic results provided the correct thinning is used, I would love to see more high quality, no airbrush builds, as I know they can be done

And just like that, my day is made 15 times better upon seeing that Plasmo has uploaded

Superb - defo top 2 on youtube ( PLASMO and NIGHTSHIFT )

Definitely love the concept of the very basic build. Theres still a few Plasmo touches, but even without all the advanced tools and details, the finish is still great.

Plasmo on uploading streak and creates a video for beginners. Am i dreaming or did this actually happen

Классное видео! Очень поможет начинающим и тем кто только планирует заниматься моделированием.👍

Thank you ❤️

エアブラシを使用しないで塗色する作り方を紹介する事が素晴しい。 高価な道具が無くても作ることのできるKITが良い製品なのだと思います。

Funny enough my friend just recently finished this exact same kit. Perfect timing. 😄

I'm no beginner and I'd still be pleased with this sort of finish 😜

This awesome for new modelers! It’s so easy to get intimidated by all the varying tools, upgrades and techniques available today that people won’t think it’s fun.

what a good job, I enjoyed to watch how you made it as simply as possible, sometimes I feel disheartened after seeing how many tools and stuff it needs to realise perfect models, this is the best way to get people to approach this hobby, I hope you would do it again in the future.

Holy shit! I built this kit just a few weeks ago

thank you for showing us the old ways :-) i had no airbushes when i was a kid :-)

I do not think of this as a beginner's video but as a masterclass. There is a LOT of information to be had. Thinning the paint to brush is not an obvious step, but critical to success. Thank you for the many hours of enjoyment I have had learning from your very well-done videos, not to mention your ASMR inducing voice. I wish, however, you would build some less spectacular kits. My shelves virtually groan under the weight of Revell, Airfix, and AMT models with their flash, ejector pin marks, and yellow old decals. I try to make silk purses from sow's ears. An expensive kit is going to look better with less effort, but I'd like to see some "that's good enough" moments.

Davide psal jsem to již jednou. Díky vám jsem začal po 30letech zase modelařit. Vaše práce je neuvěřitelná . Jsem hrdý ,jak zastupujete Českou republiku v šikovnosti a nápadech. 🙏👍

As expected, all great advice. Been doing this for over 30 years, and it's never a bad time to keep up with the fundamentals of this hobby. Have a great weekend.

Been building model kits for over 50 years and I still picked up some new tips. Well done.

I'm not a beginner but I'm not a pro. This helps as a refresher course! Thanks a lot!

I have not built a P-47 since I got the Jo-han dual kit for my 13th birthday. That was, honestly, a long, long time ago (40 plus years). I think I will see about getting a basic model and go back to simpler times. Thank you, David!

This transcends a hobby , this is art, amazing talent, beautiful work.

a quick tip to those who dont know. if you want your metalic/silver colored planes to have more shine, start by painting the model gloss black and then apply the silver color after the black is dry, for some reason it makes the silver more shiny most of the time

Jsem rád že máme v České republice tak šikovné lidi

*The result is very good with an airbrush, congrat PLASMO! And the solution for apply decal on the engine cover is so simple ... Thanks!*

I've tried painting my model before,it failed miserably,but you have teached me the right ways and new tricks.

Jam-packed with great and helpful ideas.

It's videos like this, that will bring more people into the hobby, thank you David.

Great tutorial, tips and tricks shown on this channel have been applied to my builds and my builds are much better.

One thing to note when building a kit with D-Day invasion stripes is that none of them were as straight and neat as the decals. I knew a guy who was a crew chief on 4th fighter group P-51Ds. He told me that the order to apply invasion stipes came at 9:00PM on June 5th 1944. He said it took all night and they used anything they could find to smear on the stipes, brooms, mops, even their hands. If you're going to go through the effort to build as realistic a model as you can, raggedy stripes would seem to be a must. There are two ways to accomplish this: One is to apply the decals as shown in this video, then follow up with a paint brush making the lines appear hand painted. Two, perhaps the better option, is use the decals as a measuring guide to mark where they go and paint the stripes in their entirety by hand.

So much of his beautiful models assembly is based on absolutely amazing Eye hand coordination… I don’t think I could ever do this… But it sure is fun to watch!

This little plane looks so cool ,Wow! .No Airbrush Wow!!!

The intro makes me so excited for the rest of the video xD I mean, pouring water onto a sponge.. wow! :D Awesome work as always :)

Hi David- I love the “beginner “ angle that you took with this video. Anytime you give a tip, I listen very closely. Thanks as always!

Thanks for the suggestion of starting with a smaller scale plane. I wasn't sure where to begin. Have not built a model in some decades but I recall Tamiya was very high quality.

PLASMO - you are hands down, the best airplane modeler in my book, with videos raining from absolute perfection, to "well guys here are a few techniques I've tried" I Rate You With 12/6 ! P.S. please don't stop making these videos, We all love them!

That intro tho ! Made me smile

You did well with the chessboard decal. A novice is going to have fun with that one.😁

Great tutorial for all modellers , not only beginers :)

@8:30 When I was a kid I built most of my planes with wheels up and hung them from my bedroom ceiling using thumb tacks and fishing line.

I love watching your videos. I built models when I wtas a kid and hung dogfights from my bedroom ceiling. Your work is delightful to watch. Thank you.

Plasmo, the true mark of an artist is how something looks when they do a piece for beginners to watch and learn from. You, Sir, are a true artist. Amazing brush only build. Thank you for posting. Viele Danke!

Nice "do as I say, not as I do" moment at 14:05 😉

An excellent beginner video. Turned out better than what i do with an airbrush

Great model. Thanks for the brush painting.

Yes! Love a video with no airbrush

Really good tip I picked up as a beginner is that a good way to do engines etc is to paint black and dry brush the metallic colour over the top to pick out the details.

Almost 5 years ago, I had the opportunity to acquire a model kit that, due to its age, was rare and usually somewhat expensive. I stumbled upon your videos while looking for tips and tricks for painting model kits, and ended up buying a cheap kit at the local hobby store to practice on. Even though the vast majority of your builds are painted with airbrush, your detail work with small brushes had enough wisdom in it to help me paint the entire thing by hand and gave me the confidence I needed to put together and paint up that rarer kit, which I still have today. You deserve a lot of recognition for the tips and tricks you show off.

I appreciate the “what’s coming” in the beginning

G'day David, Another great build and this time for beginners and older folk coming back to the hobby after a long break. When I was a boy modeller there were no airbrushes for our hobby and none of the other advances in tools, jigs, chemicals etc. Just glue, paint and brushes, my first 'hobby knife' was my one and only little pocket knife. These types of videos will be really helpful and keep a beginner's focus on just the model. Since I got back into our hobby, I concentrated on aircraft of the RAAF, many of which, during WW2 and afterwards, were bare metal. I found out that multiple coats of a deep, flat black primer gave the best results when doing bare metal finishes. Also, I always paint 'invasion stripes' freehand and do not pay too much attention to getting perfect straight lines between the black and white stripes. This is because I have collected many period photographs of invasion stripes being applied by ground staff using 6 inch brushes from large tins of paint, applied out in the open air. So called invasion strips were applied at very short notice and the qualified Surface Finishers were busy replacing aircraft ID numbers and roundels that had battle damage. So, invasion or 'friendly fire' stripes are never accurate when applied from decals with precise, straight lines. I was in the RAAF and I learned that aircraft flown frequently are really quite dirty and worn when seen right up close. Weathering is, of course, for each modeller to decide but, here again, during the height of big air battles, like The Battle of Britain, all aircraft endured extreme wear and tear. Of course, on small models, this realistic weathering can look way over the top. However, when doing 1/32 or 1/35 or 1/24 scale aircraft, weathering can be shown much more like it was in reality. Mostly, we have movies to blame for this trend of meticulously painted and new looking aircraft. Antique aircraft used in these big war films in the 60s and 70s just could not be artificially weathered as they were worth a fortune to restore. In war movies you can tell the aircraft that are 'on set' 1/1 scale dummy models; these are the ones that have been weathered a little and are blown up during the film. For me, I can't over stress the importance, and time saving possibilities, in doing detailed research from old photographs found in history books and even old press clippings from newspapers of the day. There are websites that archive old blueprints and technical drawings for just about every aircraft, tank, ship or submarine used in WW1 and 2. These can be valuable sources for accuracy, particularly if you need to know where the real panel lines were; or what attachments to a tank are accurate etc. Thanks you this video, I'm going to get a 1/72 aircraft kit and restrict myself to what I had as a kid; just to see if my adult experience in modelling can turn out a better, simple little kit. Thanks David and take care. Cheers, Bill

Your modelling skills are insane. I love watching you work and your finished products. Cars, bikes, ships, aircraft, armour. Fantastic.

Plasmo rules youtube model-space.

Even your OOB builds look great David

Wonderful video, and a great introduction for newer modelers who don't have as much money and time to work. Very easy to follow and to understand. Thanks!

That is one BAD ASS plane my friends!!!!!!

WOW!!! Mico Sol and Mico Set!!! I started using that ALMOST FIFTY YEARS ago!!! Good to see it's still around!!!

You are the best David. Or Plasmo. Realy tu es le meilleur. Merci pour le petit pot plastique et peinture. The pot and the paint in the water pot.

i bet someone is challenging David to make a kit without any fancy tools, and this vid is the slap on the face to the one who issue the challenge... superb work as always.

A great idea to show to beginners how to simply deal with a model out of the box with simple but trustful techniques. You are the man David. As usual a fantastic video!

I've built models for four decades (mostly US planes and US aircraft carriers) and your video showed me some tips and tricks I hadn't even thought of! Thanks for sharing this.

Haha, I love your sense of humour, Plasmo!😄😂👍🏻 Awesome build by the way.💯👊🏻

I build a Tamiya P-47D Razorback in 1/48 scale and I did as well paint brush the aircraft and the finished product turned out amazing.

This is such a great video. It is doable for those who just started in this hobby. Thx a lot!

I applaud you for both your skill and for showing new modellers how to get started! I wish more channels would appeal to beginners!

Nice how to. Very positive encouragement for new and old hobbyists. Never seen anyone drill out the tip lights like your did. Great idea!

Thank you for the beginners or those who want to make models after few years of not doing models. Great videos as usual ...

Perfect and simple… great job as always!

Fantastic results. I think hand painting is under rated. Many of these planes, tanks, etc. didn't receive super high quality paints and finishes. Many were also touched up in the field by hand. So the unevenness you get from a well hand painted finish can produce very good and accurate results and is a lot of fun. Airbrushing is also fun, but presents a whole other set of difficulties. The worst of which is a clogged or spitting airbrush. This was a super fun build to watch.

This is brilliant, David! More tutorials for us mere mortals would be massively appreciated!

Thanks for troubling to make a beginners episode. Really great.

I really like this video. I often think you go too far or do too much with weathering and shading. This model strikes a nice balance. I really like that you show how to get good results with paint brushes and spray cans. Not all of us can afford a quality airbrush.

I haven’t built a model in years but watching your videos make me long to do it again. I’m gonna have to model vicariously through you because of kids, cats, chickens and wife lol!

Border Models 1/32 Lancaster. Love to see you build this amazing model. They call it the most detailed model ever made. Full interior. It will have to be a multi video series. Cheers!

Super video. Pokud je někdo modelář samouk, tak mu to hodně pomůže. Takových tutoriálů by bylo dobré natočit víc.

I chuckle at the folks who think they have to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on airbrushes, air compressors, spray-booths etc. and here you are still out-performing them and getting better results with minimal accessories and simple hand brushing techniques! However, you have a natural given talent when it comes to this hobby and could probably use a pig's tail for a brush and still get beautiful results.

Incredible built step by step. Useful for beginners and even more seasoned modelers. Thanks for sharing.

I like this beginners guide. It has all your expertise and shows how to make a great model, achieve an excellent result and all with really few materials.

I loved the tutorial aspect of the video and would like to see it again.

This is inspirational - showing that you can get really good results with brush-painting and the patience to do it with several thin coats. The wet-sponge box for paint is genius! Think I'm going to get my 1/72 Lightning out as this approach could work quite well.

Lol. Good video. It's about time people started doing it old school for the newcomers. I always build one here and there with nothing but a glue, xacto knife and paint brushes. It is by far the most relaxing way to do it. And you can fool some people into thinking it was done with an airbrush.

skvělý nápad, opakovat si některé základní postupy a budu se těšit na pokračování. Parádní práce, Davide, děkuji.

Thank you for all your tips concerning the decals !!! That is just perfect ! 👍

Holy cow!! New Plasmo movie,...

Back to the old days. Now I'm using a airbrush. Nice video and build.
