Man, I just cant get over how beautiful a machine the F-15 is.

[@cyclingdad1177]

As a US Army veteran thank you for donating your models. It is a gesture of kindness that means more to the men and women receiving those models than we will every know.

[@MRMAGICBEAR]

If you got a real F-15 and shrunk it down ... PLASMO's model would have more detail

[@Mediavidero]

I saw F-15E's in front of me and the model showed has more panel detail painting than the real one. Indeed, the real F-15E has pure mate, dark grey color, 0% gloss.

[@d0mb0n16]

The tail this is based off wishes it ever looked that good.

[@NandiCollector]

So f true! 😂

[@casben2010]

true

[@theblackgreninja2237]

It’s a bit sad how true it is

[@JohnMckeown-dl2cl]

Very well done with excellent result. Your attention to detail, weathering and accuracy are commendable. One minor note: the engine nacelle/engine bay panels would never be so shiny. They are titanium, not polished aluminum that has its own dull color and is darker with a very light tarnished gold/gray tone. It also tends to develop it's own type of patina over a short time. Most manufacturers make a very good paint that replicates the color.

[@teddychalgren]

Sunday afternoon 24 October 2021. Missouri Air National Guard, F-15. These model building and painting vids are inspiring.

[@GopherBaroque61]

In 1989, I got an incentive ride in an F-15B while I was stationed at Holloman AFB, NM. Nothing in my life could ever beat that experience. Edit: I almost forgot to compliment you on your amazing work.

[@lorcankelleher5434]

I buy die cast models because I will never achieve a Plasmo finish on a plastic kit.. God damn this is amazing.

[@northdot9]

"If you like heavy weathering you don't need to clean it. " ha! that's was funny.

[@iambjcincle3991]

SIMPLY GORGEOUS. Since I accidentally discovered your channel early this afternoon (I am off work today) I have been watching your build videos NON-STOP and I made so many comments today on your videos that I believe I've commented more, today, just on your GIFT and your BEAUTIFUL BUILDS than I have commented on KZbin for the past what...20 years COMBINED?! I just cannot say enough how mind-blowing this is. I would give almost anything to meet up at your place, stay for a few months, and just watch you build while BARRAGING you with questions about this amazing hobby!! Your imagination, your steady hands, your TRUE GIFT of imagining doing something and coming up with solutions to accomplish your vision, the AMAZING tools you have (that I never even knew existed!) and how well you know them...just MIND-BLOWING. I discovered your videos somewhere between noon and 1:00 PM, today, and it's now 12:47 AM and I am STILL watching! I literally get hypnotized and am soaking up, absorbing SO MUCH from them!! Seriously, I have learned more, today, than I have learned over the past 45 years of building models. I CANNOT WAIT to start trying out some of the techniques and solutions I've seen! I HAVE tried weathering and shading in the past but MY problem is that I WAY overdo it, and have never achieved anything close to what you do so I just gave up. MY kits always end up looking like planes that just rolled out of the factory hangars!! LOL!! Oh, and one more thing: YOUR favorite plane is the FW-190. Well, I can't say that I have ONE favorite. I have to go with a favorite from each era and/or level (i.e. WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Century Series, generation III, generation IV, generation IV+, generation V) and then to each specific CATEGORY of plane (i.e. Fighter of WWII, Bomber of WWII, Bomber of Modern Day, Jet Bomber) LOL!! Well, my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PLANE of the 4+ generation is EASILY *THIS* ONE!! I LOVE the F-15!!

[@user-yi3fs8bl1t]

Thank you David .This is a slight difference to your usual video by whichimean youwent to greater length to explain why you were doing what you were doing and expanding on reasons for different materials never seen anyone do that before.Well done sir and to paraphrase "Until next time"

[@GOOOOTRIBE]

I was stationed at Mt. Home AFB from 2001 to 2004. I was with the 389th fighter squadron. At that time that base was called a super wing because it had F-16's, KC-135's, B-1's, F-15c's, and the featured kit the F-15E from the 391'st bold tigers, I was with the F-16's. Great representation of a great aircraft Plasmo, brings back memories.

[@Rockhopper1]

I think it inspirational that you support models for heroes, I am one of those supported by the charity and have seen what joy and relief the charity does. Thank you.

[@gabriel_fastidious_242]

i love the idea of using a coffe milk plastic cup for paint mixing, awesome!

[@127TROOP]

As always David truly outstanding work....I usually work in 1/48 but have been considering 1/72, even more so now I have watched this!....huge respect for your donation to M4H, I suffer from PTSD and having got back into modelling over the last 6 months after being away from the hobby for 35+ years, it has made a huge difference to my life, so I have no doubt that your donation will help those who do modelling has therapy. As for longer videos...I could watch you all day!! 😂 and I’m sure I’m not the only one.....

[@jeffreybobela6388]

Nice job. Might need to build the Platz F-15C. Thanks for building in 1/72 Scale. BUG SCALE FOREVER!

[@eottoe2001]

I like how he weathers perfectly good models. Like made a DC-3 that looked likes like a real DC-3. The F-15 looks like the one the air force reserve flies. PLASMO is a god.

[@patrickd1968]

I am sick with the flu and your videos are the the only thing I can watch. Thank you so much for these. It is so easy to get lost in your videos.

[@Simonize41]

Awesome model. Nice touch with the MfH at the end. Such a great charity. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@AlexModeling]

PS: I ve already donated some models to "Models for heroes"... very noble work they do... and congrats on your silver KZbin simbol! :)

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Absolutely amazing details you did on this F-15E Strike Eagle Sir

[@almacneish9657]

Longer videos but 40-45 minutes is long enough. Great idea to donate to Models For Heroes, a worthwhile charity showing the benefits of modelling.

[@williamaviles2647]

F-15E She's perfect. Like to fly her. Paint scheme came out Great. She's a killer. 😈 AWESOME JOB!! 👍👍

[@atomicorang]

Nice job. In my past enlisted aircraft maintenance AF career I took care of numerous military aircraft to include Strike Eagles. Nice job you are a talent!!

[@DeepFriedDave]

Badass. This kit has been available for 30+ years. I remimber buying this exact model kit and doing it when i was like 12 or so ,nearly 30 years ago. Needless to say my finished version looked like absolute crap lol

[@CharlieO_]

I could watch you work all day. Go ahead and male a vid as long as you like.

[@andreamorris8132]

What a FANTASTIC thing to do David, as an ex-forces vet myself, I know your donation will be put to good use. Modelling really is very therapeutic. WELL DONE Sir!

[@lawrencefisherman6617]

PLASMO IS just the nicest person. We need more people like him in the world right about now.

[@Miniac]

David, the models for heroes is a great idea. Thank you for bringing it up.

[@jimmybuko2065]

Cool to see you here, love your warhammer videos.

[@blankandy2677]

It’s down

[@nguyenphuc3945]

Your channel is the best on 1/72 scale. Awesome work!!

[@izaakc]

I think this is the perfect video length (20-25 minutes)! I also deeply admire your generosity for others! Keep up the beautiful work!

[@reedrancho]

another enjoyable build to watch, well done on the donation to the "Models for Heroes"

[@Emergency785]

First of all David, let me forward my admiration on your donations to 'Models For Heroes'. Fantastic! Secondly, I've been following your works. You make everything seem so simple and easy. The magics of modern technologies... Keep up your fantastic work! Best regards from Portugal.

[@KharmenSense]

I wish I knew half of these lil tricks when I was doing models...great work !

[@liveisnotbeautiful]

Very delicate detail painting. Great job.

[@TheModellingNews]

Great job as usual David. Go straight to the next model - this one is plenty long enough, many do not realize the time and effort these take, and you have to keep making your kits for yourself first, and in that - you provide the viewing for others :-)

[@Jesse__H]

I personally would love to see some longer videos here and there. However, only if they don't interfere with your current video release schedule!

[@melindavarga1197]

Your models are amazing!!!! But I love all the music what you're using!!!!! 🤩😍👏🙏👍

[@rifledude303]

Absolutely outstanding! You really are such an inspiration to those of us trying to get better at this wonderful hobby - and this really is one of your best finishes yet, especially since it is such a monochromatic scheme to work with!

[@SecondReversal]

One of my favorite warbirds, and you *killed* it. Excellent job dude, that mudhen looks amazing

[@paulherr1937]

Awesome Craftsmanship. Rock On!!

[@joecalobeer6396]

“MO” Mountain Home AFB, Idaho! Stationed there in June of 1977 with F-111F’s. Operation Ready Switch was in effect, so F-4D’s from RAF Lakenheath, England were sent to Nellis AFB, Nevada. At the same time, F-111A’s from Nellis were sent to Mt. Home. The F-111F’s that were at Mt. Home were moved to RAF Lakeheath. All At The Same Time! I was happy my next assignment was RAF Lakenheath because I got to play with the F model again! My last assignment was Cannon AFB, N.M. F-111D’s! So I was qualified to load bombs on all F-111 models!

[@Aethain]

Zase neskutečně krásná práce, klobouk dolů.

[@TheTrblesm]

Plasmo's confidence with an airbrush is unmatched. The shading gives me anxiety just anticipating the mistakes I would be making!

[@johnshields6852]

The detail is remarkable, it's beyond what I thought of model making, amazing.

[@driverslqqk7940]

Just incredible I like the new jet these are real good models that you are building so much attention to perfect detail.

[@dainese01]

As a youngster building models, I must've just slapped them together with sticky tape in comparison. I get weak at the knees watching these videos, very inspiring. It is masterful art.

[@abcmodeling]

Great build! Such an amazing piece of art. Your work continues to inspire me.

[@gzftomcat]

Very nice work. I learned a few new techniques from watching. Thanks for sharing!

[@phayzyre1052]

Fantastic!! I used to work on F-15s at Eglin Air Force Base.....watching this video brings back a lot of good memories. Thanks for posting! :)

[@seatraveler4935]

Love this kit and your weathering is superb. Thank you for sharing - from Houston, Texas USA.

[@C1Rob1990]

Again an awesome video and very nice of you to donate the models :)

[@plau600216]

Doskonały warsztat i umiejętności sprawiają ,że każdy Twój model to prawdziwa perła w świecie modelarzy.

[@mike-rayner-videos]

brilliant detail 🌷 thanks for sharing ♥

[@Christoff1996]

It’s always exciting when you upload, your videos have pushed me to get back into modelling after a year away, hopefully starting on improving airfix’s old 1/600 HMS Ark royal kit. Keep the good work David!

[@thejudge-kv2jk]

Absolutely brilliant! I'm building the 1/48 Tamiya kit and I will definitely be using this for tips and a general reference point.

[@satishavasthi9554]

Looks so real! Extraordinary artwork.

[@CanalMedieval]

Thank you for this video! Build a model of F-15 Eagle was my child's dream and I never accomplished this. Well done, dude.

[@Klassmate0]

cant believe you did this in 20 minutes! It would take me more than a month...

[@josealejandroalvaradobotei8584]

Excelente video desde Chile abrazo que gran trabajo me encanta los aviones el aeromodelismo 🤟🤟🤟🇨🇱

[@adamjohnson6642]

Simply love watching your videos David, each model built is truly inspiring and such care taken regarding the detail and accuracy. Keep up the great work and for inspiring many modellers around the world. Very best wishes to you and happy building. Look forward to your new builds in the future.

[@jonadkins8007]

A model any Eagle driver would be proud to put on display. Wonderful job, Mr. Damek. Something McDonnell-Douglas should have done when they built the F-15 E or any two-seater Eagle is a 2-section canopy like they built on the F-4 Phantom.

[@pauly7218]

Because it seems to be a great organization and in my way of thanking you for these amazing videos, I will be picking up a bunch of Model kits to donate. Thanks again for the great videos and supporting heroes...

[@daf827]

I love watching you work your magic. Another flawless build!

[@cotto1hunded]

Best modeler on KZbin. I learn so much everytime I watch one of your videos.

[@sirracer2005]

Please post the longer video. Your work is amazing and it has been helping me learn more techniques and to become a better modeller

[@connorkokora3014]

The technique of guiding a fluid's pour with a stick against the mouth of the container is brilliant and widely applicable.

[@AlexModeling]

Beautiful David! Like a dream! Cheers!

[@Jaaoood]

always excited when a new Plasmo video shows up 😁 model came out amazing as always - and a big thumps up for your support of models for heroes !

[@DJCallitquits]

It’s like going on a model building adventure with this dude!!

[@KillBoxScalemodelling]

Excellent job as always :D Great thing to donate kits to Model For Heroes - good luck moving to a new place hope you can set up a nice workbench there ! Keep on modelling ;)

[@romanpenechko2717]

В твоих руках обычные модели превращаются в произведения искусства! Благодарю за прекрасный канал и великолепные модели! Смотрю, как что ты делаешь. Мотаю на ус))

[@horizonbuilds643]

Me: watches Plasmo building peacefully Mom: enters room The video: 5:46

[@khyleolamit5689]

Oh nu

[@garethmcclorey224]

lol yeh they always have to walk in at the weirdest moment in the show/movie

[@putatankinamall7168]

My mom came in during the bath scene when I was watching girls und panzer.

[@georgebrown6540]

Every time I watch your videos David, I keep thinking "He won't beat that one" .... and guess what, you invariably do. The end of the video though, shows that not only are you a brilliant modeller but a genuinely thoughtful person. Thanks for sharing.

[@northerntier87]

Very detailed art work. Keep the models coming.

[@jamesbrooks2132]

David, Thank you so much for posting your videos in English. They are very enjoyable. Excellent assembly technique. Your camera angles and sound quality are fantastic too.

[@Grasshoppa65]

I think the length of your videos is perfect. I find I often fast forwrd through the longer videos. You edit yours so well. I am much more interested in your painting tecniques than sticking the plastic together. This jet turned out beautiful. You are a master model builder.

[@cornelisvandervelden9123]

Beautiful craftmanship and a wonderful model!

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Great job, especially like the tip on reducing the decal film. Thanks!

[@pathardage1880]

I love watching your videos. I don't work to anywhere near the accuracy or the precision you do, but your videos inspire me.Thank you.

[@McCorduRoy1972]

Amazing simply amazing. You left me speechless.

[@timkoontz6693]

That's the best layering I've ever seen, Master Craftsman. Excellent!👍👍

[@DC8FD]

Incredible detail, I can watch this all day!! Please keep the models coming!!

[@pauly7218]

This may be your best video yet. Other than the decals the kit seems very nice, and I also appreciate how you seem to have expanded your explanations of some of your techniques. You are very gifted and make it all look so easy...

[@briancates3576]

So glad I found this channel. Beautiful work.

[@artao5]

Also ... Having watched several of your vids, I have a curiosity ... Regarding seam filling. You use epoxy and other filler putty a good deal, which requires a fair bit of sanding off. A technique I've learned from model rocketry is to sprinkle baking soda into the seam, which you can then easily rub off to smooth. Then with a thin tube soak the baking soda carefully with thin or super-thin superglue to harden it in place. Works GREAT!! Filling spiral seams on tubes for instance. And little to no post-sandling or cleanup, but easy enough if needed. Easier than epoxy, to be sure. Perhaps you're already familiar with this method and prefer the way you're doing it. But maybe not. Everyone prefers different methods, and there is no "right." Again man. Fucking INCREDIBLE work. 100% museum quality. Seriously. Hollywood model quality. Light 'em right and put 'em in front of a green or blue screen with a motion control rig and composite that with other footage? .. Aww yeah. REAL!! And I REALLY dig (heh heh) your simulated mud mixture. EDIT: OH!! Also, when using epoxy, dipping your finger in rubbing or denatured alcohol works freakin AWESOME for smoothing out the epoxy. Better than water. And I see you already wear gloves, so I won't mention that. ;)

[@youtubasoarus]

I've been watching a lot of these videos. HUGELY inspiring. Just amazing workmanship on these. :D

[@CHUUMPASS]

beautiful ! great level of detail and depth to it. legendary and unrivaled American war hawk, the mighty F-15.

[@sionmarcsimpson7487]

Simply stunning! Still the best modeller on KZbin. You sir are head and shoulders above the rest! Thank you for all the tips you share ;)

[@msbelindapls]

Breathtaking!

[@mattbaker5498]

[@peted7687]

Wow!! Your work is breathtaking. Hands down, amazing!!! Love your work, truly master piece.

[@bushvalk2008]

Thumb up before watch? Yes, only here i know this will be awesome! ;)

Awesome. Long video sounds perfect specially for beginners! Plasmo, the best channel!

Great video. Thank you for posting. I’ve been away from the hobby for many years and this channel along with some others that I’ve found on YT have made me want to build the kits that I have in my house. Subscribed

[@jaapbijnen6644]

Those decals look really good

[@taylorzacharygrant9353]

I have watched so many of your videos, and many of them multiple times. Enjoyable to watch, learn something new, refresh an idea. Thanks for the videos. Keep them coming!
