This was my first model... A red and grey Matchbox that my brother gave to me as a gift in my birthday number five. 45 years later I have a room devoted to this wonderful hobby... Greetings from Chile🇨🇱
I serviced hundreds of piston and jet powered aircraft when I was a USAF fueler back in the '70s. Not one of them looked like it just rolled off the assembly line. I've also done some modeling in my time but none of it would compare with what this young man does. It all depends on the desire for realism.
@@npc6817 In this case, it's completely appropriate for the model to look immaculate; the 1930s RAF took great pride in the condition of it's biplane fighters which were always maintained in near factory fresh finish.
Dear Sir Doesn't matter how many times I watch this video I am mesmerised by the way the appearant sheer simplicity of the build masks such a high level of skill and ability. In truth there is no simplicity at all just raw talent carries all before it. It is such a joy to watch a true master at work Yours faithfully MrD53
I have very fond memories of this kit in its original form, it came in a plastic bag. I built this in 1965 or 1966, and was one of my first plastic kits. It's good to see it again, and built so well.
Hey David, could you explain (or maybe make a video) the difference between different glues and cements? Revell, Mr Cement, etc. You seem to use several in each model you make...
I made this model as a kid (before you were born!) and it looked like a kid had made it too! I don't even build model aircraft any more but always look forward to your videos. Superb work as always.
The only person I've seen confident enough to mask and cut the canopy frames after putting the upper wing on. I hated doing that small canopy without it on.
Hi!! What surface do you tint with oil? Glossy or matt or semi-matte? Could you make a separate guide to aviation toning (including modern)? Its so missing on youtube ... good luck with other, your models is wery well!
This was very helpful. Right now I am working on a P-47 Thunderbolt and I needed an example of how to weather Silver because my plane is mostly painted silver. Thanks for the video.
Christian Howarth wow thats quite a gap i used to listen to rammstein too i still do from time to time. Do you use the youtube copyright free songs for the videos?
I like that you said you don't reckommend this model for beginners. Many people will judge difficulty based on the complexity of the kit or the instructions, but some basic things like two wings can also add to the difficulty. I have been doing modelling for over 10 years (Might not sound much, but I'm 19) and I still haven't found a non painful way to do the two wings without messing up
Very nice! I just finished building the Mk.II boxing of this in the Finnish colours. I haven't' seen that method for the wing ribs before, it looks great!
One thing that would have really added to the overall looks of the airplane..... would have been if you took your airbrush and made exhaust streaks on the bottom side of the bottom wing from the engines exhaust pipes, just like it would be on the real plane. That would have brought it all together. You spent so much time on the wash, that one little touch would have just been beautiful.
Amazing job and superb finish, specially on the rigging process. I'm surprised I didn't see any coat of sealer after painting or before washes. How you did it without damaging the paint job? Wow 👍
how do you get super glue to work that good? I see people making videos doing rigging on painted surfaces and they just touch the rigging wire and boom! it holds! yeah that does not work like that for me.
PERFECT 🔝I heard about the talk in the comments about weathering😖🙄👉🏼I never ever did some kind of weathering on my modells,and if somebody says》Oh you did not weathering.....I said well thats a ace king and its new😀 When you go to a museum and you look at big modells,there ain't no weathering. It all make sense to me you if make a diaorama(Damm it i forgot the name😂) However nice modell,i play on my mind to build that Swordfish too.But i got the big version on my mind from Trumpeter(The Tamija version seems to be out of the programm) However.Have a nice day🍀
Beautiful work as always, I like the voice-over in this one explaining what you're doing. What did you use to seal the decals before the enamel wash? or did you not seal them?
Thanks. I used old Mr. Mark Softer, but it doesn't matter because Gladiator has no panel lines. (old Mr. Mark Softer I mean without the NEO. The new one is useless)
Jako funguje, ale jen na některé obtisky. Už to není to co bývalo. Raději doporučuji levnější vodičky od agamy. Tensol nebo v krajní nouzi hypersol. Ten hypersol rozežere i podkladový lak :-D
Hi David. Really nice model, even if in the biginning of the video it looked like a "fast build model" the way it turned out is cool af. Also I want to ask you a question - what do you think about "Zvezda" models? I can't remember if you ever did a video with one of their models, will look up for it after finishing comment :) So, what do you think about "Zvezda" and have you seen these models in your local model stores?
Greatt video and great model! I really could not work on such a tine scale! A little point of critique on the video though: the sudden drop of the music when you speak is a little annoying. Perhaps better to not remove it entirely, but just lower the music. This would make the video even more enjoyable to watch!
I've seen this actual aircraft up close. You have done a nice model of it but the ring around the engine is not as dark on the actual aircraft. Where did you source the rigging thread? I have not rigged the kit I made.
Very nice i baught 2 172 planes for my first time a few weeks back i built the plane but alot mistakes and half painted it been 3 coulor, s it was a bit fidgety for me for now i abandoned it anyway ive another one there and ill have a go at thats a airfix all red bomber type kit so with less colors maybe ill finish that but nice work on this my freind 👍👌
A Nice Model.You Weathering the Model,but why you didn`t weather the Exausts? In that Time as they was in active Duty,the Fuel was not really good and so there was very Dark Black Stripes under the Fighters.

Realistic weathering is nice and all but sometimes you want some fresh off the factory feeling too.
Remember to especially in wartime aircraft were turned FAST! Little care was given adide from making the aircraft airworthy .

10:11 when the super glue is dried up, i use black magic to adjust the wire length
Good to see airfix getting some recognition

It's good to see it again, and built so well.
Peter Evens
This is a new tooled kit, not the original
What a stunning result you achieved on your Gladiator! Thank you for the great video showing every step of your build process. I enjoyed it immensely.
I was really impressed with the wing wires and making them taught with heat. Your a Pro. Thanks for the video tips.
Amazing use of the soldering iron to tension the rigging. What a beautiful build you did here, well done!
Very cool.... the matchbox comparison at he end was great. I often forget how small 1:72 really is! Thanks for posting
Really liked this build, particularly on your approach to rigging, it makes me more confident to tackle biplanes in the future using these techniques!
a great quick build . loved the way you did the rigging and panel lines
Awesome build as usual. The trick with the soldering iron on the rigging amazed me, I nearly fell off my chair.
You make it look easy. I wish I had your skill. Really fun to watch an artist!
As always David, a fantastic build and video, thanks for sharing.
Great music choice - better than the heavy metal, classical or eurodisco stuff you usually get on modelling videos
Hey David, could you explain (or maybe make a video) the difference between different glues and cements? Revell, Mr Cement, etc. You seem to use several in each model you make...
Plasmo , я всегда поражаюсь твоей дотошности, как миниатюрные детали собираешь и клеишь на ногте. Very good ! ! !
Андрей,этот Плазмо судя по акценту не англичанин...Наверное,чех-у них качество работы явно выше западноевропейцев.
I made this model as a kid (before you were born!) and it looked like a kid had made it too! I don't even build model aircraft any more but always look forward to your videos. Superb work as always.
As always David, great project and video, thanks for sharing.
always a joy to watch your work
im enjoying the jazz... its a nice change from all the techno all model makers play
The only person I've seen confident enough to mask and cut the canopy frames after putting the upper wing on. I hated doing that small canopy without it on.
Plasmo, you add weathering to everything
I swear if you make a dog you'll add weathering to it
actually, my full name is: David Weathering Damek :-D
You didn't weather the propeller and wheels this time :-/
lol you are a legend
i dont mind the heavier weathering. everyone's personal preference tho
Hi!! What surface do you tint with oil? Glossy or matt or semi-matte? Could you make a separate guide to aviation toning (including modern)? Its so missing on youtube ...
good luck with other, your models is wery well!
Very beautiful results. Wonderful craftsmanship. Bravo!
Fantastic David - so the soldering iron shrinks the ringing - I've never seen that before - wonderful
Wow, you do such a good job. I thought I was being clever as a kid by heating a pin and making bullet holes in the fuselage
This was very helpful. Right now I am working on a P-47 Thunderbolt and I needed an example of how to weather Silver because my plane is mostly painted silver. Thanks for the video.
I like the jazz, makes the video very classy
Superb, as usual. You're the man plasmo!
Always a top quality video. The detail is amazing. I even like the music.
Wow that's a great way to tighten the rigging wires never seen that before
Great music. Fantastic build.
Thanks. Music is almost random. I do not know what people like. I personally listen to Rammstein or classical music.
Christian Howarth wow thats quite a gap i used to listen to rammstein too i still do from time to time. Do you use the youtube copyright free songs for the videos?
No anymore. I pay every month for music from the Epidemic sound. It is not much, and they are offering thousands great tracks for youtube videos.
Excellent build for such a small model. Nice work!
trusted Glad looks awesome, makes me want to take it for a fly-out in Warthunder :-) great background music as usual, kudos!
Brilliant work, another piece of art!
very well made video as well!
keep up the good work!
thanks
hello david. its one of my favorite of your videos just because of the music. damn thats relaxing to watch. love your stuff
Have you ever made the Red Barons Fokker Dr.1? And I haven't watched far into it but I already know it will be a quality video. keep it up.
No, but I ordered yesterday Albatros D.III 1/48.
Excellent work. Beautiful model.
I like that you said you don't reckommend this model for beginners.

Another great video....beautiful work good buddy....and excellent music too! 👍👌👏
Very nice! I just finished building the Mk.II boxing of this in the Finnish colours. I haven't' seen that method for the wing ribs before, it looks great!
Superb model - superb video.
Wow. Airfix really went to town on the re-tool.
One thing that would have really added to the overall looks of the airplane..... would have been if you took your airbrush and made exhaust streaks on the bottom side of the bottom wing from the engines exhaust pipes, just like it would be on the real plane. That would have brought it all together. You spent so much time on the wash, that one little touch would have just been beautiful.
Koukam ted na tohle video a za ty dva roky jsi udelal neuveritelny pokrok jak v modelarine tak v anglictine . Well done!
Yet again you have amazed me
Amazing job and superb finish, specially on the rigging process. I'm surprised I didn't see any coat of sealer after painting or before washes. How you did it without damaging the paint job? Wow 👍
cool that you do more standard kits that is not only for super professional people. want it more. #like
Me too.
Maravilloso trabajo!!
Great music.
Absolutely brilliant 👏👌 enjoyed it very much 🤗
I'll never be this skilled...
It's very beautiful, David!
how do you get super glue to work that good? I see people making videos doing rigging on painted surfaces and they just touch the rigging wire and boom! it holds! yeah that does not work like that for me.
True artist!
the adorable little plane that could...
Ta hudba je dobře vybraná....
Excellent detail!
One more stunning plane I'd love to display behind my desk...
the man has skills! nice job.
I'd love to see you building another helicopter !
Fantastic !!!
Amazing work!!!
Learned a couple of meat tricks .... thanks!!
Beautiful model, the strange fact about this aircraft is that entered in service with the RAF the same year of the Hurricane(1937)!
Excellent
Superb, as usual!
Just wonderful
fantastic!
PERFECT 🔝I heard about the talk in the comments about weathering😖🙄👉🏼I never ever did some kind of weathering on my modells,and if somebody says》Oh you did not weathering.....I said well thats a ace king and its new😀
When you go to a museum and you look at big modells,there ain't no weathering.
It all make sense to me you if make a diaorama(Damm it i forgot the name😂)
However nice modell,i play on my mind to build that Swordfish too.But i got the big version on my mind from Trumpeter(The Tamija version seems to be out of the programm)
However.Have a nice day🍀
You're doing a great job, the effect of your work is amazing!
What do you do with all the models you have made over time?
I did not realize that this was such a small model - small plane
Amazing
And a decade later they had jet aircraft... Amazing period of history.
Beautiful work as always, I like the voice-over in this one explaining what you're doing. What did you use to seal the decals before the enamel wash? or did you not seal them?
Thanks. I used old Mr. Mark Softer, but it doesn't matter because Gladiator has no panel lines. (old Mr. Mark Softer I mean without the NEO. The new one is useless)
PLASMO - plastic models Ahoj, taky jsem z NEO zklamaný -buď nefunguje nebo ho neumím správně používat?
Jako funguje, ale jen na některé obtisky. Už to není to co bývalo. Raději doporučuji levnější vodičky od agamy. Tensol nebo v krajní nouzi hypersol. Ten hypersol rozežere i podkladový lak :-D
nice job love it
Awesome!!
Very nice model plane. Thank you
Is that a reboxed late 1970s early 1980s Heller kit , it looks like it .
Amazing! Keep up the good work!
Stunning!
un artista!
I really like the jazz music i hope you consider using jazzy music in your future videos
cool. Thanks for the info.
Fine work 🔥
Hi David. Really nice model, even if in the biginning of the video it looked like a "fast build model" the way it turned out is cool af. Also I want to ask you a question - what do you think about "Zvezda" models? I can't remember if you ever did a video with one of their models, will look up for it after finishing comment :) So, what do you think about "Zvezda" and have you seen these models in your local model stores?
Artist!
when you mixed your Mr surface 1000, what was your mixing ratio with thinner? Whit did you use for thinner?
Bravo!!!!!
Greatt video and great model! I really could not work on such a tine scale!
A little point of critique on the video though: the sudden drop of the music when you speak is a little annoying. Perhaps better to not remove it entirely, but just lower the music. This would make the video even more enjoyable to watch!
I just finished working on a bf-109 and a spitfire of the same scale.
I've seen this actual aircraft up close. You have done a nice model of it but the ring around the engine is not as dark on the actual aircraft. Where did you source the rigging thread? I have not rigged the kit I made.
Very nice i baught 2 172 planes for my first time a few weeks back i built the plane but alot mistakes and half painted it been 3 coulor, s it was a bit fidgety for me for now i abandoned it anyway ive another one there and ill have a go at thats a airfix all red bomber type kit so with less colors maybe ill finish that but nice work on this my freind 👍👌
you should make the se5a from gillow its great
Nice retro music:)
That's great. It certainly came out better than mine, haha!
Did you have any trouble getting the engine cowling to fit properly?
A Nice Model.You Weathering the Model,but why you didn`t weather the Exausts? In that Time as they was in active Duty,the Fuel was not really good and so there was very Dark Black Stripes under the Fighters.
Cool!👍👍👍
great video as usual! :)
I'm friend. I have a question for you. What kind of cam and pc program you use for your videos?
Thanks a lot.
DAVIDE
