      @@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 UA-cam can rise the price of his work quite significantly.

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.

      @@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.

      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.)

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.

    When I was stationed in Korea, the A10s would practice their runs on my motorpool. It was amazing to see them in action.

    Another amazing model and with more detail in 1/72 than most 1/48 scale models

    Simply amazing. I get both inspired to start building and dishartened that my builds never will look this good. Ha ha. I love that you take the time to show your tricks and that you explain why you do what you do. I have learned so much about modelpainting from you. Thank you!

    These aircraft are based a few miles from my house. I get to see them fly over in pairs all the time. This is my 2nd favorite aircraft after the F-16.
