My son and I built a plane model the other day in 2 hours, lost all the propellers and was painted all blue; still the best time ever. Wouldn't have done it without your inspiration. Thanks!

[@thatmaverickguy859]

Keep your son on that path and he'll grow up to be a awesome inventor and artist

[@onionhead5780]

@@thatmaverickguy859 I agree. I used to build models as a child and enjoyed the detailed hand work. I eventually become a gunsmith. Retired now but I always looked forward to going to work and loved my job. My brothers used to say they hated their jobs so I felt very fortunate.

[@idaemonplasmo]

I am glad that you try models and had a good time. ❤

[@bohun28]

I remember getting into modeling when I was a kid, with my Dad. I still have the first model we made...a waterline Kriegsmarine Graf Spee. It's in terrible shape but a lovely memory.

[@fuzzy5610]

Great stuff 👍. 💯 your son will hold that memory for ever!

[@lancemurdoc6744]

David spoke the magic words again "some minor modifications"...so we know, he create a masterpiece...again.

[@stevie65able]

I always have a good chuckle when he says that!

[@douglasalan5783]

Yes, I love his gift for understatement

[@stuffing09]

Honestly I feel like this one was relatively minor compared to his other models

[@bandwagon240]

For a military vehicles builder, you're certainly very talented with car models. A lot of armor/plane guys will build the entire model and spend hours painting parts in place instead of seperately as intended. Two totally different styles and you've nailed them both.

[@rowluxillusion5235]

My father took me to Brands Hatch that year, I remember this car so clearly, it was my second favourite after the Surtees Ford driven by Vittorio Brambilla who was my father's favourite driver, and who I am named after. F1 racing then was so much more exciting, and the noise was incredible.

[@breakshot7451]

the cars from this era are just beautiful. this and the john player special design are just great

[@rowluxillusion5235]

@@breakshot7451 oh yes and who can forget the Tyrrell P34, I never saw it race in person, but saw it on display, in the 80s, such a cool car

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , David . 🐺

[@tpaul802]

I don't care about the genre of models you build. I always get excited when you post a video. Thank you

[@douglasalan5783]

I love it when David mentions “minor improvements.”

[@aserta]

FIY the wires used for WIFI transmission from the antennas to the WIFI module inside laptops have that braided texture. Excellent for making small details.

[@LogicWheels]

Good tip!

[@ScottKenny1978]

Thanks for the tip, I have a dead laptop I can raid for part!

[@127TROOP]

Oh man, those brake discs...genius.....once again you knock the ball clear out of the park. A stunning piece......

[@jacobakana5649]

I love that you left the body pieces removable. It’s great to see the sleek, glossy complete car as well as the super-detailed lower layers!

[@WadeWeigle]

Thanks for sharing another kit build. Those braided wire tubes are always out of stock. Super great detail pieces.

[@freddyt9140]

Fantastic build!!! 👏

[@jeffhreid]

It’s just beautiful. Outstanding

[@matk4731]

Simply beautifully presented. A true master craftsmen. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃

[@muchasgracias6976]

David this is surely as beautiful as the real car. Bravo!

[@parascalemodels]

The foil over the X-Acto trick. Priceless. Always pick up a tidbit here and there from you. Thanks for sharing your work with us again. Fine specimen.

[@beymastereagle]

This is such a beautiful model. I hope to see more F1 models in the future!

[@GeorgeSundancermusic]

"Minor" improvements.... It's always amazing to see you at work, David.

[@Turb0button]

as an auto modeler primarily I’m glad to see you do another car, especially a beautiful formula one kit! always a pleasure to see you elevating these classic kits 👏👏👏 well done

[@willrolleston2237]

Absolutely incredible work, as always! I love the braided hoses and anodized connectors.

[@mr54mems22]

I’ve been watching your content for like 5 years and it made we want to get into models and painting you genuinely made my childhood

[@markcussens5380]

Absolutely stunning work as ever Plasmo, thank you.

[@fredtedstedman]

one of the most beautiful F1 cars ever .

[@Einherjar_17]

What memories! Mario Andretti's car, that car was the forerunner of ground effect, I still remember it on the tracks, when Formula 1 was a real competition and not the dirty monetary circus that it has become now, a shame ..., excellent model and construction work as always, greetings from southern Argentina.

[@mirrorblue100]

What a beauty! Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@sugarsammy7209]

Looks beyond amazing!

[@paulkilner7239]

Another superb build. Imaginative presentation. Gets better each time. Very well done, David.

[@Hellforsa]

one of the most beautiful racers ever built

[@Turb0button]

the pattern on the heat shield was genius! captures some of my favorite things about modeling- creativity and problem solving

[@doublenickelbob]

David, you are the Man when it comes to modeling. Keep these great videos coming and I'll keep watching.

[@seasparrow7427]

I wouldn't be one bit surprised if that actually started up and drove away..... Excellent work!!

[@sivartimus4222]

The time, energy, effort, and attention you spend on these is awesome! Can't wait for the next one.

[@rafaelj.benero4880]

Beautiful work David! Thank you for the inspiration!...

[@1sixscalecrafter351]

Hello PLASMO - plastic models, That was "FREAK'n AWESOME!!" I watch this video 2 times, such AMAZING Details! Always a pleasure to watch your super cool and fun video builds. Thank you so much for sharing your Hobby with us. You're my FAVORITE Builder and Channel! Liked and Shared as always. Peace 😎✌👍Take care and Be well! 👌

[@idaemonplasmo]

Thanks. I enjoyed the kit. The model still has a lot of mistakes because it is my third formula one model, but I am glad you like it. The next video will be after the holidays, so thanks for your patience. 😘

[@ModelingInMotion]

Hi David, your channel is the first one which trully inspired me to follow and do this hobby. 1 year later I've built my 5th scale model, and even started making KZbin videos out of it, and realised is a hobby for life. Keep up the good work and keep inspiring people!

[@CLEM4135]

Ooooohhh Awesome!!

[@jmarshallable1]

Absolutely a awsome build. Great work Plasmo. 👏

[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

I love that over simplification of the amazing things you do in the intro. Reminds me old top gear opens

[@AaronHahnStudios]

We do enjoy the "tongue in cheek" comedy in the intro don't we..

[@LogicWheels]

Another great model! For the fuel lines, to make these even more realistic I use to push some mixed yellow / orange clear varnish trough them with a hypodermic needle. It gives a really nice impression of fuel in the lines. Keep up the great work David, really enjoying to watch your video's.

[@davidorama6690]

Your super detailing on the engine is amazing. Well done.

[@lh-tv280]

Showed up early! This is gonna be a great one, I can tell. Thanks for the upload!

[@carlhuxford7067]

Perfection as always. And as always minor modifications is an understatement

[@jackmunday7602]

One of my dads favourite formula one car. Thanks Plasmo.

[@tompson3444]

Já jako papírový modelář moc nerozumím plastikovým modelům ale tohle vypadá neskutečně. Super práce 👍🏻

[@Butterball3588]

Your attention to detail is on another level. I love your videos man. Masterfully done!

[@bigeasy2595]

You have inspired my builds in so many ways, Thanks

[@SRFriso94]

No joke, after you asked for model suggestions in your B-29 video, even though I didn't comment it, I was hoping you'd do a Formula 1 car or something. This happens to be one of my favorites, so very happy to see this. If you're looking for suggestions again, maybe a modern F1 car on the same scale? Would show how massive the cars have become over the years. This Lotus is quite a petite car, but the modern ones are so big that no team has even come close to the minimum weight limit rule. Some have even resorted to stripping off paint, they're so desperate for weight savings.

[@pixel325]

Your attention to details just never ceases to amaze me! Another awesome build! :) cheers

[@powderriver2424]

That was the most beautiful gran prix cars, I had a HO scale slot car and built the Tamiya model in the early 80’s very nice to see that car is still a relevant model today.

[@beacon_models]

Such beautiful touches with the extra parts, and the polish on the bodywork is outstanding! Another excellent build!

[@sszandorszandor4703]

tady slova netřeba .... jednoduše fantastické ...krásná práce

[@ShooterEXE]

This probably the best model I've ever seen

[@randytaylor1258]

And it's only 1:20 scale..

[@josefhyatt2780]

Stunning!!!! Absolutely STUNNING!!!!!

[@reversethursday4975]

Such an iconic and beautiful livery

[@williamd1732]

Brilliant, just Brilliant David. Your work never ceases to amaze me. Your techniques are simply masterful. I've learned so much from you. Thank you David for sharing. My hat is off (as to salute) to you sir.

[@johnnichols5284]

You elevate my work every time you post, Thank You!

[@michaelcooke2559]

Great build. Thanks for sharing.

[@scalemodelpursuit]

I don’t know how you keep out-doing yourself! Another great looking model

[@christosswc]

Absolutely stunning. One comment I want to make is I see everyone scrubbing the tires to make them look rougher. Brand new slicks are very smooth and very shiny, so there's nothing wrong with leaving them as is. If the final model is super clean and super polished it would make sense for it to be on brand new slicks.

[@hanssmidt12]

Amazing build

[@fotomakr]

Another superb build. The hoses and the Tamiya clear blue really add to that engine! Like the decal process and “fix” you did, quite helpful.

[@charlieg4258]

I'm an F1 fan, especially vintage F1 so seeing you make this is just great

[@TheUncleRuckus]

You knocked it out of the park with like always Plasmo 👍👍 And I love a Black and Gold color scheme looks mean. Also the blue & red joint fittings look sick AF and give it that much more realism, I wish I could do this.

[@kacpermizera8310]

My suggestion for future: Truck. Maybe boring theme, but i believe you could make it awesome with these details

[@AaronHahnStudios]

YES! A SCANIA. They are a sexy Truck & the engine details are reasonable.

[@Sacrilege7294]

Trucks are not boring at all. In fact, you can go wild with weathering or just not at all. Rally cars are also a great suggestion for PLASMO.

[@anselmoasaable]

Gratz David! You are an inspiration

[@modelrestorations]

I primarily build car models and you have given me more ideas in one video than I have seen in the last 10! So well done. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent!

You have done a fantastic job. The video is very well produced and your explanations very helpful. Thank you very much and make more videos like this one! Best regards to you.

[@RackwitzG]

[@jonhking5570]

What colour is inside the body panels?

[@mikebaginy8731]

You've created an absolute masterpiece! Thank you for a very enjoyable video.

[@mycroft1905]

Masterful. The heat shield plates embossed using X-Acto knife knurl are a highlight. TFP

[@Norman_Peterson]

I appreciate your work 100 times more because you are not a person with steady hands. A lot of will.

[@bugler75]

Wow, incredible ! That finish is , I don’t know, no words to describe it!

[@Sacrilege7294]

You should definitely focus more on F1, trucks and airplanes. Your strength with planes and this kind of kits is amazing.

[@jmclaugh]

Beautiful work on my favorite F1 car of all time! I saw it race at Long Beach many years ago!

[@dekon70]

Outstanding job!

[@BrushQuill]

Thats brilliant mate. A masterclass in kit building and good humoured videos

[@eagle1de227]

What i admire - and what makes your channel so unique by the way - is your entitlement to adding even more details and more realism as is included in the "out of the box" model kit. Thats exactly my way of model making. Please keep on the good work !

woowwwww this is a hell of a great work done!.. brilliant model of an iconic car of the '70-80... the Lotus 79 ground effect car!...

[@Max-bo8tg]

Absolutely beautiful! That engine could not be better. And the best of the model is the beautiful black colour, that’s absolutely awesome!

[@TheMozerfok]

That is one sexy model kit! And one of the most detailed build, as expected from you Plasmo!

You sir are a master model builder. Well done.

[@chanozoc]

Your skills are constantly impressing!

[@joshem16]

Brilliant as always

[@roneckler9937]

Building the model is the easy part, but I have to say. A model isn't a model unless you can paint and understand how to use paints properly. Your models are extraordinary sir. Thank you.

[@JanKoneczny]

Absolutely awesome built!!! Hat off! Greetings from Ostrava!

[@42MadMan]

[@stephenbridges2791]

Nice job, David. It's a little change of pace for you, I think. I always manage to get a couple of tips from your builds, no matter what the subject. Well done!
