I used to build models as a kid. Airbrushing was just something that I just read about in books. I could never afford it or convince my folks to spend the money on it. The most detail I got was a rattle can and do it yourself dirt wash for cars. Videos like this make me want to pick up the hobby again. Thanks for the inspiration. You do beautiful work.

No one creates a more realistic model then you do. Thank you for sharing your creations with us. 👍

[@sferguson1130]

His models are fantastic, but there are many out there, that do. I’m not saying that as a negative, towards his work. I’m saying that, for you, so you can discover many other incredible artists out there 👌

[@sferguson1130]

Unfortunately, a lot of them are in Japanese ( I’m assuming, so I don’t know how to link them lol ). If you’re into hyper realism, but not necessarily planes, you should check out A4 Garage, Kenji’s Plastic Models, Car Model Channel, Rinaldi Studio Press, just to name a few 🙏

[@wazeFPS]

you never disappoint, been watching your videos for around 5-6 years and your models' in the past were already so impressive, but you keep pushing to improve and it really shows. you're by far my favorite modeler, and i always learn something new every video. keep up the good work my friend:)

[@TRINFSS]

It doesn’t matter if a heavily detailed cockpit is hidden by the fuselage and the canopy as long as you know it’s there. That’s what modeling is all about. Beautiful build sir.

[@jaytyson1808]

I love the stressing on the wings and fuselage. It looks so 3d, like there are actual divots in the plastic there. Love this plane! I would love to see some 1/48 jets, like the F104S, Kfir, or Mig21

[@manuelprieto8484]

It is TRUE wisdom when someone reaches the "It doesn't matter" point. Lots of love and respect from Spain, Mr. Damek!

[@korin12law]

You always go above and beyond! One of my favorite channels to watch. I would love to see more dioramas again. Seeing the the scenes you create is always so cool.

[@meatshield2682]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? That is the most amazing weathering ever. Please do more of this. I personally consider you in the group of Bob Ross. You take something ordinary and make it something special. Your videos help me forget about my day and the state of our world. Thx.

[@clemens.29]

Again pushing it to another level with your models. This man cant stop improving. He is the goat of scale modelling.

[@127TROOP]

That is simply astonishing...the stressed panels look real!! the paint is breathtaking. You have truly surpassed yourself David...incredible build...

[@cmufutube]

Not only the model (which was beyond fantastic), but the photography as well!

[@generalfail6824]

Wow, a tiny masterpiece 👍🏻

[@savagex466-qt1io]

Look up the manufacturing history of this plane ! So many teams turned down the build request because many deemed it to hard or even impossible. This plane was made from a small group of engineers that blew the socks off everyone else.

[@Rockys_Models]

That's a masterpiece! I love the shading of the stressed surface!

[@Theover4000]

I love when you do models like this, mid-service. I love seeing the insides of the plane. It's so cool to see how you do the intricate internals.

[@ModellingWeekly]

The thing about Plasmo is that not only is he an incredibly talented model maker, but he is also a skillful videographer. Absolutely beautiful, puts my Zero to shame!

[@johntreloar8203]

When it comes to a kit build by PLASMO, I don't care what you build, it's always good to watch, great video and great result with the kit.

[@fordguy8792]

The Zeke was an incredible aircraft and you've done it Great Justice! The stressing effect you applied to each panel really made them look bowed in from stress! Top notch work, as always!

[@Memnon_sun]

あなたが作る作品はいつもとても素晴らしいです。❤

[@ThomasDawes-q9y]

Your technique is of the highest order. I am stunned when you cut up the model to fit new parts. I have never seen a more steady hand when painting with a brush or using tweezers on fine parts. I would judge you to be the best modeller on the web by a wide mark. Truly great models that go to the level of art.

[@davidbalducci4312]

THESE ARE SIMPLY THE BEST AIRPLANES MODELS I'VE EVER SEEN

[@brettpeacock9116]

When the Type 11 Zero was deployed to China in 1940, it was still officially "Secret": so when it was on the airfield the front end was covered by Tarpaulins to make it resemble its predecessor the Mitsubishi A5M (Claude) fighter, which bore some resemblance to the Zero (Except for non-retracting undercarriage.) This meant that the rear fuselage faded significantly in the Hot summer of 1940 and again in summer of 1941. The paintwork kept under the Tarpaulins did not fade anywhere near as much, hence the 2 toned paint.... You have done a Most Excellent job. I recently bought that kit, myself and I have the Hasegawa Type 11 also in my stash. (Thanks to Hasegawa for explaining the 2-tone paint in their instructions!)

[@schubertjorg7428]

Das hast Du wirklich schön gemacht.

[@valborchardt3596]

Excellent David, so good to see you back…thank you

[@DavidSmith-ss1cg]

The Mitsubishi A6M2, like the Spitfire, had a special utilitarian beauty derived from it's function. Your over-the-top approach to paint and weathering makes this tiny plastic artifact a thing of beauty, and your tendency to "make it more interesting" actually is entirely appropriate. We can see, if we compare the blow-up photos of the real radial engine. I was awed to see the pistons of the engine, compared to the touches of rust on the pipes there - you captured that very well indeed. Thank you SO much for sharing your builds with us; it seems maniacal, the amount of effort you do, but the successful results speak for themselves.

[@mattmarcoulier9740]

It’s a sign to build a zero!

[@Pboy7272]

The stressed effect that you painted absolutely makes this entire model! Bravo sir 👏

[@herrlogan17]

So glad Plasmo makes another plane. Saying this is a masterpiece is an understatement 😜 Best painting yet!

[@ipcress20]

Absolutely stunning. The post shading is exceptional--I never would have believed how effective and realistic it appears when you showed one side done and the other not. The difference was truly remarkable. Inspiring.

[@jonelson1983]

Great seeing you do 1:48, rather than the 1.72. Incredible detail.

[@travisbrecher3677]

I've been modelling for over 50 years now, mostly wooden sailing ships,WWI & II aircraft and 12th scale motorcycles and thoroughly enjoy watching your builds turn into mini masterpieces. Thanks for sharing with us and please continue to do so. If you do another motorcycle, try Tamiya's RC166 with its detail sets. It is a pain in the ass at times but quite stunning finished. Thanks from the other side of the pond. (U.S.)! Bless you and yours & stay safe and well.

[@bluebooooo7165]

That imitation of stressed surface was so good just little bit of white paint added so much depth literally feel like real plane

[@chicosbailbonds9764]

Just an astounding job. Masterful. Thanks for sharing. I love the part where you mentioned an area in the engine looked empty, so you added -and detailed-a bunch of wires. I would have run out of energy far before then. Incredible work.

[@WasntYourFaultYouHaveToLetMeGo]

Man, the amount of details you placed in the engine and body is nuts. Most people don't even know where to begin 😅

[@lewistaylor1965]

Fantastic result!...I learn so much from PLASMO's videos...The 'canning' effect with highlight and shadow was a really effective idea...I spend a month on a model and really happy with it, then I watch this and realise I should have spent another month refining my effort...but it's all good...I've come a long way already from when I use to complete a kit and painted in a few hours...Thank you

Amazing work as always. I am a volunteer at IWM Duxford and recently had a really goof look around their Zero part wreckage exhibit. Speak to Bob if he's there, an absolutely first class expert on Japanese aircraft.

[@fus149hammer5]

Some years ago I took my son to Duxford for the father's day show. Apart from having the newly rebuilt Dunkirk spitfire taxi past us and take off we were walking along later and came across a troop of cubs climbing in and out of a wheely bin! We found that the resident model club had either closed down or were just throwing away old already built models. Some missing props or cockpit canopies and some still with the string attached used to hang them fom the ceiling. Some obviously painted by small children but some were exquisite. My boy came home with a backpack crammed with model aircraft. The cubs were filling their bags with anything still usable until a jobsworth ordered them away. I had trouble convincing my son now 20 that free models aren't standard at Duxford!😅

[@DmitryGrigorev]

Great build! You can use Mr color thinner to remove a thin film from Quinta studio rivets but of course only if you place them on a clear plastic. Just gently brush it on top of the rivets and the film will dissolve. Use decal softener and let it dry before removing the film.

[@tcepilot]

Beautiful model. A tip to prevent paint bleeding under masks - in addition to applying it in thin layers - is to first apply a clear varnish to seal the edges of the mask.

My first time to comment on your work......As always amazing work but i have to say that the paint effects on the wings in my opinion is your best work yet.... it is so realistic and changes the model frpm a plastic kit into something that needs to be viewed in a art gallery or a museum,
