I was an A-10 pilot, and I can say without question this model truly depicts what the jet looks like...and in 1/72 scale! Amazing work...a few minor inaccuracies, but I'll keep those to myself. FANTASTIC job bring the Hawg to life!

[@dflo4165]

Thank you for your service. I have got to ask. Was the plane that dirty on the bottom from the gun? I’m sure there wasn’t a snappy plane wash out in the desert. Unless you guys took one with you.

[@cadetecamundongo9940]

Ok mister Charlie 😃🙏 sempre... parabéns 👏 BRASIL DEUS acima de tudo....

[@charliealpha11f3b2]

@@dflo4165 When we were deployed, the entire front of the jet would become ABSOLUTELY FILTHY. Not to mention the rest of the aircraft...the paint was flat and rough, so any dirt/dust/residue would grind in and be difficult to remove. Stateside our maintainers would do a good job washing and keeping them clean, but there is little you could do at many deployed locations.

[@dflo4165]

@@charliealpha11f3b2 I thank you again for your service. During my 20 in the Navy, I liked taking trips up to Miramar just outside San Diego. I saw the aircraft there from F-14’s to F-18’s. Most had a dirty appearance from mechanics handling. I used that for weathering of the kits I made. Nothing as close to the A-10 in this video. I still have an unfinished 1/35 A-10 in a big plastic box. The cardboard one didn’t last that long. I just cut the front artwork which sits at the bottom. What an amazing amount of detail he puts into his builds. Very impressive!!

[@petarkrulj1760]

10$, more like 100$

[@JohnLorac]

@@petarkrulj1760 😆You can't be serious. Yes, the box costs like 18 EUR (not to mention other expenses) but you have to spend dozens of hours on such kit which means the price of such model is at least several hundred euros. If it is let's say competition worthy. But since we are talking about Plasmo here his model probably costs like several thousand euros. A popular name on KZbin can rise the price of his work quite significantly.

[@JohnLorac]

@@Ishizaky1 Well, I think you are right. 😆 But anyway the box cost like 18 EUR. Don't know what else you want to add to the additional cost, but with even with additional expandable materials like paints you won't exceed 100$. That's too much.

Plasmo was the first channel that made me realize that I would never, ever get even remotely this close to perfection, so perhaps it’s for the best that I don’t try. But he makes mostly military models and I’m kind of a car guy. Then I started watching A4 garage and that was that. His miura, DS and 300 SL builds were pure art (the dashboard on the 300SL alone was just mind blowing.)

Revell makes this kit and it has the 103rd Flying Yankees. This was my dad's unit. I am afraid to build the kit because I suck at building planes.

Hi Plasmo! Im watching your videos for a few years now. I have another method to flatten the tyres. Get a metal mug, fill it with water and warm it up from the bottom with a flame burner. Put the wheel inside the mug with tweezers and apply some pressure. I think this method adds a more natural detail to the flattened tyre becouse the sides pushing out a bit too.

I’m not a model builder but I think it’s cool. I did it when I was a boy. I watch a few model channels this one probably impresses me the most by far, they are all great though. It’s so impressive his models are museum quality. It’s not just the skill building it’s the research to make them as accurate as possible. Looks fun, maybe one day I’d like to try it again. My father did locomotives and model railroads stuff. I have tons of new old stock he never got to, ancient models from the 1960’s and 70’s, many the buildings made from wood and still sealed in the boxes. Tons of cars and engines. I don’t even know what to do with it all. I’ll keep some because it’s dope. I’ll never throw in the dumpster though, that would be disgraceful.
