[@garyyoung4074]

Hurray!!! Is the pilot figure included or did you have to get it aftermarket? If aftermarket...where? I think jets should be modeled airborn, so I need a pilot inside " flying it"!!!

[@platoki]

Thank you for your comment! Pilot is included in the kit, TAMIYA kit sir! Pilot flying inside is a new idea haha :)

[@zeitlichkeit5094]

Hi, can you build the F22 Raptor? I would love to see the Tamiya version. I subscribed so I will be on the lookout if you ever build it. Thanks.

[@platoki]

Thank you so much for your comment and subscription! Yes, F35B and F22 is in my next radar. Even TAMIYA is developing “1/72” F35 in progress!

[@doboy1666]

hi, look very realistic. will you sell it?

[@daice68]

It's a wonderful build. Before watching this video, I was thinking of making an F35b with a pedestal, but the BEAST mode of the 35a is cool, so I would definitely use it as a reference.😊

[@platoki]

Thank you always for your comment! Yes I also thought of building this in frying mode because this is stealth jet. But looking at the beast mode, I could not help choosing it😊

[@JawsFan27]

The F-35 is a marvel of engineering. Watching the F-35B variants land on a flight deck is one of the most amazing sights!

[@platoki]

Thank you for the comment! Yes F35B STOVL capability is just amazing…I have to try B model next!

[@E-E.ADVENTUREGEARS]

Some ideas taken from soviet yak

[@platoki]

Thank you.

[@khna4054]

thank you for the great video Always watching... Please also provide the F-35B lightning video.

[@platoki]

Thank you so much for your comment, appreciated it. Yes F35B is in my radar..stay tuned!

[@harryaudia6]

Great build with great skills shown. The Tamiya kit is a testement to excellent CAD/CAM design and the designer.

[@platoki]

Thank you so much your comment! Yes, I’m always impressed by TAMIYA engineering, how small their tolerance is. Almost all parts are perfect fit!! I love TAMIYA kit😍

[@germansnowman]

Not to forget the toolmakers and material engineers that transfer the excellent design work into the physical world!

[@richardbaker4557]

Tamiya the best models on the market....bar none....all the parts fit rhe way they should.....

[@platoki]

Thank you for your comment! Yes all parts qualify and fitting are incredibly perfect…

[@GAinAsia]

This is awesome. but i never understand a coat of paint only to be completely covered by another coat of paint.

[@platoki]

Thank you for your comment! I apply cross coat before decal and after decal, then finish with mat clear coat. Because if we apply mat coat too much, mat element sink in the bottom and start grossing. I hope I answered your question if not please let me know, thanks!

[@kudukilla]

Sometimes it helps to bring the color out. I’ll put a layer of buff underneath where I’m going to use yellow. Helps the yellow look right. Similarly a lot of people put pink under red to get a proper looking red. There’s also primer, but that’s to help see imperfections and to help the paint grab onto the plastic.

[@davidnickisson2555]

It's very rarely completely covered, by airbrushing you can easily control how much of the underlying paint shows through, allowing you to layer effects. Different primer coats tend to affect the top coat in unique ways too, to add vibrancy and depth (for instance a brown primer) or contrast and easy coverage (black basing). In the end it really depends on the desired end result

[@platoki]

Thank you for your comment and additional tips!

[@1970cgb]

Now that’s dedication !

[@TheNOMISS]

Immensely satisfying to watch an artist like this at work.

[@platoki]

Thank you so much for your comment and compliment. That means a lot to me👍

[@MuddyTrackLinks]

Beautifully done! I was shocked to see the HL “Hill Air Force base” as you rarely see modeler’s use it. I live in the flight path of these and see them daily.

[@platoki]

Thank you for your comment! Wow that’s great you see those air craft daily!? I’m jealous :) I have see those near Miramar looks cool!

[@leeee8550]

国宝が生まれたな 素晴らしいし、美しい 次のビデオも楽しみにしてます！

[@platoki]

コメントありがとうございます！ 頑張ります！

[@beepIL]

I just love how Tamiya models fit so perfectly

[@platoki]

Thank you for your comment. Yes I love it too. Always perfect fitting. That’s so satisfying!

[@Thebluejava]

Well.then you have Hasegava.:D

[@dbenci2071]

Finally, someone who adds the pilot!

[@platoki]

Thank you for your comment! Yes pilot is really cool with HUD helmet!

[@dbenci2071]

@PLATOKI - Scale Model Airplanes your welcome, I M going to have to buy that kit now

[@vincentlussier8264]

This kit is absolutely stunning! The weapons and landing gear bays are stunning!Just STUNNING!

[@platoki]

Appreciated your comment. Thank you so much! It really motivates me to create another video:)

[@鎌田英明-c6f]

工作、流石👍

[@platoki]

ありがとうございます。

[@showmesomelove3353]

Awsome work! Truly inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to film your work and sharing it with us! Filming and editing is just as much work as making the model. Thank you!

[@platoki]

Thank YOU so much for comment..that means a lot to me. Yes filming and editing sometimes very difficult to find time to do so. But your comment motivated me a lot… appreciated it!👍

[@Doshybot]

I love the use of cotton buds, like picking out edge highlights and weathering. Something even beginner modellers without all the fancy equipment can do

[@platoki]

Thank you for your comment! That’s right daily tools are sometimes very useful 👍

[@IainHamilton]

Strangely satisfying and relaxing to watch. Some of those decals looked beyond fiddly.

[@platoki]

Thank you for your comment and compliments! I really appreciate. Yes decal was a big job for F35. I took me almost three full days during year end holidays:)

[@garybarter5338]

Probably one of the, if not the, best model video I’ve seen! Fantastic job my friend! Subscribed!!!

[@platoki]

What a complement 😭 Thank you so much for your comment and great word!! Appreciate it! That really motivates me to create another video. Thanks!!

[@rapter992]

素晴らしい！このタミヤF-35Aのビーストモードを作ろうと買ったのですが これを見るとこんなスキルが無いのでそのまま積みプラ行きになりそうです･･･

[@platoki]

コメントありがとうございます！！😇 私は最初ステルスモードで作ろうかと思ったのですが、途中でビーストモードに変更しました。 プラモデルは楽しむことご、1番だと思います。とても、作りやすいキットで楽しいので、是非、作ってみて下さい！！

[@richardhitchins6311]

Just breathtaking to watch your art… Thank you.

[@platoki]

Thank you so much for your comment and complements. That means a lot to me!

[@jayrohumbertoguzmanvalenci1351]

What engineers of Lockheed Martin didn't do, the Tamiya's engineers did it. Despite being such an ugly plane, Tamiya add their touch of magical beauty, in every minimum detail, and the "Saint's Hand" of Platoki, makes the difference. With a superb and awesome skills of Platoki we have a "beautyful" F-35. Máster Modeller Platoki......I salute you, from Guatemala, The Land of Quetzal Bird, Símbol of Freedom.

[@platoki]

Thank you so much for your comment from Guatemala! What a complement! It motivates me a lot to create another video :) thank you thank you thank you!

[@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24]

Wouldn't say it's an ugly plane

[@tomcline5631]

When I was building aircraft almost exclusively,this plane wasn't even someone's wet dream yet! I dont think Tamiya was around,or at least available,when I was doing planes. I've never built one of their kits,but I'm always impressed by the details and fit! I would love to see them tool up some semi truck models,to the same level they take these aircraft models!!

[@platoki]

Thank you for your comment! Yes I am always amazed by engineering quality of TAMIYA kit!👍

[@adnanenver937]

What a legend for taking his time and effort for this plane 👍🏻 The F35A is my favourite plane😊

[@platoki]

Thank you so much for your comment and complements! Yes my favorite is F35 too even though it was F14 before building this model!

[@VC301000]

I build model since I was a child, Tamiya model kit never disappoint me. The weapon bay is full of details.😍

[@platoki]

Thank you for your comment! Yes TAMIYA kit is always promising and I love it!😍

[@BIRDKATE]

Watching this is so relaxing

[@platoki]

That means a lot to me. Thank you so much for watching my videos…

[@steveoc64]

Superb video, thank you. So the Tamiya F35 kits is something brand new in the modelling genre - Most model kits are detailed plastic kits that include some decals to apply for the finishing touches. This Tamiya kit its a set of decals ... a big set of decals, that also comes with some handy plastic parts to finish off the decals with.

[@platoki]

Thank you for your comment!! Yes there were bunch of decals which covers most part of fuselage. Also many clear parts with micro size masking and creates blight look of reflections. Amazing kit. Loved it!

[@바미테]

Remove the ‘remove before flight’ tags from the bombs. Totally personal meaning. Nice detail painting 👍

[@platoki]

Thank you!

[@decoymanic3678]

amazing work . still i like the F14 , F15 & F16 design . if let me choose , F14 is my all time favorite jet .

[@platoki]

Thank you for your comment! My favorite is F15 since I have a lot of memories with my dad but after researching those fifth generation fighter jet, I now become big fun of it

[@thethirdman225]

13:15 ‘Beast Mode’…LOL!! Nice bit of spin used to describe it operating like a non-stealthy F-16.

[@platoki]

Yeah it’s not really stealth any more because it is a beast!

[@platoki]

Thank you so much for your comment and feedback. I just bought brand new blush these days, thanks!

[@zeitlichkeit5094]

TAMIYA models are the best. I have bought Italeri and other brands but Tamiya is so detailed. They are very expensive.

[@platoki]

Thank you for your comment! 100% agreed! Even though it’s a little pricey but it’s worth buying. That is incredible engineering 👍

[@manojonervios8820]

It’s the man, not the machine.

[@platoki]

Thank you for your comment! Wow.. you worked on this jet. Amazing!👍

[@martijn9568]

I don't think we aren't allowed to ask, but did it have something to do with the teething issues of the jet?

[@richardms3682]

What is the teething issue? Sorry I need to know what it is before whether I can tell you or not haha

[@User41-gw2qc]

Nice build. Thanks for sharing. I hope you can build the Hasegawa F-22 Raptor in 1/48 scale. I guess looking at the builds you’ve posted in your channel, the Raptor is missing 😄. Best wishes 🙏🏻

The fit on these Tamiya kits is absolutely amazing. Pieces really come with each other so smooth and snug.

I wish I could 😊excellent work on this kit. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for your comment! I am always impressed by the quality of TAMIYA kit, and engineering. Parts Fitting and surface qualities of any parts are amazing.
