Greetings David. I have been watching many of your videos back to back this evening and just wanted to take the time to tell you how I am both amazed and inspired by your work. I have been a career art director first in the magazine industry and eventually onward to the film and television industries. Therefore I have a very surgical focus when it comes to almost any artistic work. And I must thoroughly congratulate you on such talent and skill. Your overall craftsmanship and attention towards even the smallest details upon these small scale airplane models is at moments mind-blowing. One overall and very clever detail and styling of yours that I deeply appreciate is your use of shade washes across the bulk of the airplane models' surfaces. Washing the otherwise pristine sparkling outer bodywork with dark shadings to represent various lubricant fluid leaks and general age and wartime usage is the one key detail which transforms your particular model replicas from otherwise shiny plastic mass-produced toys to that of authentically styled and miniaturized museum reproductions. Very well done Sir! Now after seeing your shading techniques, I am going to begin applying your same technique to my own model builds. I honestly believe that such overall shading is the one key element my models have been missing all these years now. Thanks for the inspiration and lesson well learned. Keep up the fantastic work. Cheers!
You,David, are a great encouragement to me and to all of us modellers. I watch yours and other modellers videos with great interest. What ever I learn I see if I can apply it my modelling.
Moi qui pensait ne pas être un trop mauvais peintre... Quelle Leçon !! Vous etes un Artiste !! Bravo, et Merci pour les quelques astuces vues dans vos videos.
How about a video on your work station? What brushes you use, paints and glues? Maybe include the items that aren't hobby related that you use to make such fine models. As always, your models and vids are top notch.
One mor comment on your Airfix Zero kit. Zeros of that time period had radios taken out. Subaro Saki referred to the pilot using hand signals to communate. Thank you.
Jefferson Sheng What does the larger scale have to offer? This build is of high quality, and that he has done it in 72nd should be given more kudos! I recently built 2 kits (both airfix spits) 72nd & 48th i had to put more work into the 72nd for the same result.
Nice job. I wonder if the chipping done with the chromate green paint might've looked more toned-down if you did this step before the wash. Thanks for your videos. They are quite fun and interesting to watch.
Hi Martin. Great vid and build. Could you please list the paint colors used in the build? I am working on a F4U Corsair at the moment and i would like to use some of the colors that you used on this kit. Many thanks
Awesome build as always. Would you be so kind to explain the pigments application. As in what do yo use to fix them in place and what clear coat you use afterwards?
I have one question: shouldn't the drop tank look clean, like a brand new thing straight from the factory? Weren't they used for one way only, than dropped into the ocean? I even heard somewhere that landing with drop tanks was not allowed for safety reasons :)
***** Then you are right, probably planes that did not enter combat, but had their drop tanks attached had no need to release it. Also the procedures of landing on carriers were probably way different than on landing fields... maybe they were allowed to land with empty tank only? And also the drop tank could get dirty on the ship already, before attaching it to the plane. The reason i wrote my comment was because i read a book where one of pilots during emergency landing in Britain got killed after his drop tank set on fire when it hit the ground (gear malfunctioned).
Pěkné, inspiroval ses Lachoutem nebo Diegem? :D Je tam vidět nějaký takový potenciál... Možná by ještě stálo zato lehce proříznout obtisky očí a tlamy a znovu zakápnout washem. Určitě by se to ještě dalo dodělat a byla to jedna z takových prvních drobnůstek, kterých jsem si hned všiml.
I love your videos!! Please help me out? Do you apply a gloss cote before applying the decals then apply a matt coat after? Or do you leave your models having a gloss finish? Because I know people say that you need to apply the decals on a glossy surface but what if I want my model to have a matt finish? Please help
Ahoj... Další úžasný model, ale chtěl bych se tě zeptat... Modely dělám teprve půl roku a mám jen starou stříkačku která dělá linky 1,5 cm a chtěl bych si vybrat novou... Mám 2 otázky :) Za 1. jakou ty osobně používáš stříkačku? a za 2. zatím jsem to jen zkouknul a poměrově cena/výkon vycházela dobře H&S Ultra, myslíš že je to dobrá volba nebo by jsem se měl podívat ještě na nějaké jiné??? předem Děkuji za odpověď :)
Díky za odpověď... :) Můj starý airbrush který stál asi 400 Kč nedělá zrovna hezký povrch a teď když jsem si koupil od eduarda speciální edici F4b Phantom (da nang) tak chci svoje modely posunou aspoň o kousíček výš :)
Okay, Im making that. Finally get to make a battle of Guadalcanal in 1:72 scale. (P.S. I dont know for sure if the Hellcat was in that battle but Im positive) Now, whats in my local hobby shop...
I really dislike these overall oil washes, just destroys the model for me, making everything murky and muddy. Washes are great but they should be targeted. You may as well dunk the model in ink.

Love how the tools being used create some amazing panel lines.
Martin Damek and MakingModelsAgain are my 2 favourite channels about models :-)
Absolutely stunning!
Moi qui pensait ne pas être un trop mauvais peintre... Quelle Leçon !!
Vous etes un Artiste !!
Bravo, et Merci pour les quelques astuces vues dans vos videos.
A beautifully built painted and weathered Hellcat, very well done I really love your style of video excellent compilation and editing.
Unbelievable work there, love the heavy weathering!
How about a video on your work station? What brushes you use, paints and glues? Maybe include the items that aren't hobby related that you use to make such fine models. As always, your models and vids are top notch.
As always, fantastic work, I could watch those builds all day, well done
One mor comment on your Airfix Zero kit. Zeros of that time period had radios taken out. Subaro Saki referred to the pilot using hand signals to communate. Thank you.
The legend of hockey № 17 Hellcat !!!
I bet you could make some absolutely sick looking gundam models
Excelente video desde Chile abrazo que gran trabajo me encanta los aviones 👍👍👍
Nice, nice, nice. Great weathering job.
Fantastic Martin.Really well done ! I have just finished the Corsair,on to the Sea Vixen now by Airfix in 1.48 scale.Keep up the super work :)
Fabulous video and an awesome build, she looks beautiful! : )
would of been better if it was in 1/48 :3
it is amazing to see you draw Rivets so fast and so easily .... using that tool ! Just amazing ! Well done !!! Love your work !
Jefferson Sheng What does the larger scale have to offer?
This build is of high quality, and that he has done it in 72nd should be given more kudos!
I recently built 2 kits (both airfix spits) 72nd & 48th i had to put more work into the 72nd for the same result.
tvi82 true but I just generally like 48 better especially in terms of bomber. They make you feel like they're bomber
Amazing craftsmanship! Thanks for posting.
awesome build and fantastic technics. Thanks for sharing with us.
Magnifique travail. Merci
you have a very special talent keep up the great work
Absolutely fabulous work. Please, tell me what is the pressure at compressor? Thank you!
Hi and thanks for video, may I ask why green chips? Couldnt figure out the reason
Fantastic which tamiya colours did you use model kits a form of art
J aime trop faire des maquettes de avion 1/72 et plus particulièrement aussi les Elicopter
Nice job. I wonder if the chipping done with the chromate green paint might've looked more toned-down if you did this step before the wash. Thanks for your videos. They are quite fun and interesting to watch.
+Adam Goatfish But I did not want to tone-down chromate green color. Of course If you do chipping before wash will be chromate green hardly visible.
Very nice work.
why do you apply tamiyas thin glue on the decals?
Awesome modelling...well done!
Great work as always. Very talented. I did notice that thius video and a few others are "fast speed" I prefer the regular speed.
So the dark wash provides the exhaust and gunsmoke stains? By the way, these really are excellent tutorials.
Hi Martin. Great vid and build.
Could you please list the paint colors used in the build? I am working on a F4U Corsair at the moment and i would like to use some of the colors that you used on this kit. Many thanks
2:00 what color do you apply?
Nice, i like your videos... i enjoy them.
Hi Martin fantastic work :) good painting job professional struments and video keep building some models
would you do a 1/48 scale of the same aircraft Eduard brand thank you
Awesome build as always. Would you be so kind to explain the pigments application. As in what do yo use to fix them in place and what clear coat you use afterwards?
***** Ok. Thanks for the tip. And keep those videos coming!
David, please can you tell me which airbrush, which colors you are using and which pressure? Thank you
where is the first part?
Awesome!!! What size is the riveter? THanks
I have been inspired by you and your work so please please keep uploading more I am a subscriber so keep it up please thanks
You have earned a subscriber ! amazing builds !

Curious, what type of air brush do you use and how much pressure are you using when air brushing the colors?
can you make a guide for begginers and guide for airbrushing.
Excellent video. But how have you made these exhaust stains?
nice song :) cool f6f-3
Can you help? Are the "kill markinings" on the port or starboard side of the aircraft.
?
👏👏👏👏👏 nice model... Includes bombs & HVARs?
I forgot to ask, what shade and make of blue did you use....Thanks
sweet video can you do a video on doing the rivits I got some old birds that need some love plz n ty
What color are you using for the chipping? yellow?
Nice. You've ever customised any models to look battle damaged?
where do you buy all that fancy equipment?
Un buon lavoro
Pěkné, inspiroval ses Lachoutem nebo Diegem? :D Je tam vidět nějaký takový potenciál...
Možná by ještě stálo zato lehce proříznout obtisky očí a tlamy a znovu zakápnout washem. Určitě by se to ještě dalo dodělat a byla to jedna z takových prvních drobnůstek, kterých jsem si hned všiml.
how did you replicate the exhaust stains?
nice work
Parádní práce :) ... jaké jsi použil barvy tamiya ? :)
God I wish I had steady enough hands to do this as well as you
Sir hi, from where did you get the drawing to mark the rivets ? I have one in 1/48 scale.
donde lo compro soy de mexico
Amazing!!! How can I get so detailed drawing like this?
+Mihály Bandúr Ten year of practise and it's still not perfect.
@PLASMO - plastic models now 14 years
Ein wahrer Meister! :-)
Mehr Farbe als Plastik, aber täuschend echt.
David, was this a profipak?
Marvellous!
Thank you for your talent...
I love your videos!! Please help me out? Do you apply a gloss cote before applying the decals then apply a matt coat after? Or do you leave your models having a gloss finish? Because I know people say that you need to apply the decals on a glossy surface but what if I want my model to have a matt finish? Please help
+Stephan Louis Hi, just like you wrote. I sprayed gloss varnish applied decals and after that I covered model with matte varnish.
+PLASMO - plastic models thanks a lot for the help
+PLASMO - plastic models
Sorry just one more question. Do u use Acrylic or Enamel paint/varnish (clear cote)
+Stephan Louis Acrylic. I prefere Tamiya colors and Gunze mr.color varnsih.
+PLASMO - plastic models Thanks. Keep making amazing videos. I love it 👍🏻
Moc pěkné :D
It's really unreally!))
fantastic
Love your work, but if you don't mind me asking, what color did you use for your intermediate blue?
+Tyler Shepard Thanks. I don't remember which colors I used. That was some mix of tamiya xf-18 + xf-2 + xf-3 + xf-52 and xf-4.
Ahoj... Další úžasný model, ale chtěl bych se tě zeptat... Modely dělám teprve půl roku a mám jen starou stříkačku která dělá linky 1,5 cm a chtěl bych si vybrat novou...

:) Tak doufám, že si na ten Phantom taky nakonec uděláš čas a vytvoříš další skvělé video s dalším úžasným modelem :)
Hi Martin
Love your videos!!. Just a quick question. What brushes are you using for your fine detail work?
+Dean Shaw Tamiya Standard Pointed Paint Brush Small
what string do you use?
have u made an corsair ?
Nazdar pouzivas na lestenie po sufracery nejake hadry, alebo micro mesh?
Mám je doma, ale používám jen klasický smirek.
Brilliant...!!!
bravo
David, you didn't paint the bugs on the windscreen. You are a master of the airbrush. Thanks!
Круто коллега!Подписался.
Ahoj ty tvoje modely mě dohání k názoru že já ty modely spíše kazím než dám - oproti tobě ;) :D
jak máš nastavený kompresor ?
*****
Díky moc
I wish you would narrate your videos. I canot stand watching and trying to figure out what your doing.
👌🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have this same model mine looks good but yours looks better way better.
Skoda ze ten helcat nema natocene aj zlozenie kokpitu a trupu ale len tu druhu casr ta prva mi tu chyba
Okay, Im making that. Finally get to make a battle of Guadalcanal in 1:72 scale. (P.S. I dont know for sure if the Hellcat was in that battle but Im positive)
Now, whats in my local hobby shop...
Damn 😱
And as a kid I thought I could build model planes ... eish!!!
すごくです
man this video isn't from start to finish.
Just a comment for the algorithm.
Lol im too lazy to even paint my models
I really dislike these overall oil washes, just destroys the model for me, making everything murky and muddy. Washes are great but they should be targeted. You may as well dunk the model in ink.
O
bravo
