Impressed by the quality of Airfix's recent kits, they put some real effort in, and seem to make great quality kits at pretty good prices.
They are trying to make good kits, but their molding technology is seriously lagging behind the competitors. I built Ju-87 1/72, not a bad kit, some clever ideas, but the molding was substandard. Many lovely details in the kit, but plagued with tons of injection residue, way too many connection points to the parts, complicated shapes made from unnecessary number of parts, because Airfix is apparently lacking the technology to mold complex shapes. The front of the Stuka is from twelve or even fifteen parts. Clear parts molding quality is terrible, looks like something from early eighties. I would say new Airfix kits resemble in some ways early Trumpeter kits, but more cleverly designed.
I would say don't bother with airfix ,it's an British company that means they will inovate very slowly. I u want a blast when assembly a kit go for an Tamiya kit(perfect fit) or Hasegawa (superb details)
Magnifique avion superbe ❤
@@isaacnickel Clearly you haven't built any new models. The old ones aren't even that bad
@@isaacnickel You're missing out by being prejudiced, the new Airfix kits are great.
Your attention to detail, even at this small scale is amazing, David. These "Wooden wonders" were built near my home, and all the woodworkers from the surrounding areas were sent to the factory to make their parts. Excellent job, again, sir.

This model, brings back fond memories of my childhood. In 1987, I buy an Airfix Mosquito FB -VI in a supermarket, in Downtown of Guatemala City, and I painting it ¡with oil paints! But the results was great. Your Airfix Mosquito Dear Plasmo, it's a little miracle. It's wonderful, and the level of realism it's awesome. Congratulations for you and all my respect for your incredible modelling skills. ¡Máster Modeller Plasmo! ¡I Salute You! Greetings for you from Guatemala, The Land of Quetzal Bird, Símbol of Freedom.
Another masterpiece. Raising the bar for OOB builds
Yes! The good old David Damek comes back into aircraft scale modelling! This is a masterpiece really. Congrats. Actually inspired me to build this beauty of aviation
One of the things I appreciate with your videos is that you showed me that I can do this too. I always thought that to do models you need perfectly steady hands and my hands has a tendency to shake when I work with small and more precise things but when I watch your videos I see that your hands also shakes sometimes and you still make these perfect models which gives me hope that I can make models in the future because from what I have seen it can be a pretty expensive hobby and I got enough of those right now
I love your videos and they are the reason I’ve got back into scale model kits again in my mid 40’s. I hadn’t made any since I was a kid and couldn’t believe how much fun I had, especially as I can now afford an airbrush! Whilst my builds will never come close to matching your marvellous creations, I think I’ve done alright for a returning newbie. Thank you again, cheers from Australia!
Dear Mr Plasmo,
The modified air intake is a master stroke- such a small detail but so important. The bomb bay also makes a significant difference to the final result which will be noticed by many discerning viewers.
Another fine example to us all.
Regards,
Z
The, bomb bay does make a difference, it is wrong, it’s from a TT 35, not a BXVI!
Nice result! One of my favourite planes modelled by one of my favourite UA-cam modellers!
C’est la perfection
Toujours un réel plaisir de voir tes réalisations ❤❤❤
Dear Plasmo, I'm not lying when I say that you have accompanied me during the toughest years of my undergrad studies and now my master's degree. I have become a hobbiest myself thanks to you!. Thank u so much for the effort u put in your work, you are really the best
the small details you add are what makes your builds so awesome
Your videos should be a perception from the doctors. Soothing, majestic, and stress relief. Bloody love em!
Yep. We definitely need more GP's (general practitioners/doctors) handing out "perception" prescriptions... for your kind of ailment... personally, I'll take the actual pharmaceutical meds, lol 🤙
You're a true talent. The inspiration you give is just beyond belief. Thank you for sharing your ability to create more than there is and what can be achieved. Adding small details, "cables, along with rivet holes and such, altering this and that". Once again, thank you.
Great job David! ...my Grandfather was a wireless operator/navigator on the Mosquito with the 100 Group during the War. My favorite WW@ Aeroplane! ...And yes, I've always wondered about the Bomb load being the equivalent of the B17 😆
No wondering. It couldn't. I don't know where this myth came from that the b-17 could only carry 4000lbs but it is just that. The other is that a unmodified lancaster could carry 12000lbs. The lancs that carried the earthquake bombs were heavily modified and lightened by removing gun turrets and crew. Technically a b-17 heavily modified could carry 25000lbs and did with the aphrodite missions( dumbest idea ever) but still packed a huge payload. B-17s often carried only 4000lbs to increase speed range and altitude.
@@kirktravis5780 What were the Aphrodite missions and why were they a dumb idea?(if you don’t mind explaining, I always find this sort of detailed wartime information fascinating).
Aphrodite was basically an obsolete, stripped down B-17, loaded with high explosives, and converted into a huge, remotely controlled flying bomb.
@@nikki5399 yea what Chris said. One actually kinda worked.
@@chrissakal532 Wasn't one of the Kennedy brothers and his Co killed in one.
Beautiful model, built to a stunningly high standard, lovely!
What amazes me is how you take what is already a lovely, detailed new tooling of a plane and enhance it in ways I'd never even consider!
Stunning work as ever. I Need to buy one of these new tool Mossies, I've built the old one and that was a pleasure so I imagine this one goes together lovely
Amazing work! Greeetings from Brazil!
Nice work, im currently doing the 1:24 mosquito from airfix
The error in the rear bomb bay shape is because the laser scan Airfix did for the model was on an aircraft modified to a target towing role, where the bomb bay was modified for the winch etc. and I guess this wasn't picked up when the moulds were made. Beautiful model though, and I'll be using your video to help with my Tamiya 1/32 Mossie.
Bit of a clanger from Airfix as they were warned about this on various forums when they released the CAD files. I think they did fix it for their PR.XVI box though.
@@ekmad They fixed it on the new kit and on new issues of the older one. I believe they've done the same for the 1/48 Hunter. Which is great to see
jeezuz what a JOB !!!!! thats absoulutley fukin beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! outstanding David !!!!!
Today Plasmo released a new video, today was a good day
I'm happy to watch RAF plane build from present PLASMO
My dream came true, I will watch 100 times. 😄
Great job. This is my next build. Thank you for all the tips, you really made it come alive.
As always, a master class by David Damek on how to build realistic plastic models. I enjoy these videos a lot, the custom work, attention to detail and the commentaries of David always sprinkled with bits of wisdom and puns … makes watching this truly awesome time. Thank you David Damek for making these videos and share them with the whole world 🙏

Great bit of modelling David, nice bit of detail added and just the right amount of wear and tear.
In a word superb.
The fact that you create so many little details in a 1/72 scale model is what impresses me most.
Brilliant, thanks David! I really love how the sense of the size of the aeroplane comes through with your weathering and attention to livening up the dull surfaces!
Outstanding, you made the Mossie come alive David👍👍👍👍
Love the fact that you make the model look very used and weathered. One could consider making a scenario with two models, one more worn out than the other...😊👍
You know when David says he is going to make a few small changes, that you're in for something special! 👍 These Airfix kits are a quick project with decent detail and are fun buildsi.
Another beautiful creation, Thank you David!
Definitely the best looking plane ever.
Awesome build 👍🏻. I built the old tool 1:72 airfix mosquito in the "tetse" version a couple of years ago, it was a real pig to build, the 2 fuselage halves were warped, and nothing seemed to fit right. After much cursing, fettling, sanding and grinding it ended up looking ok. It didn't have as much internal detail as this version does. I've got a revel 1:32 version to finish off, that also needs many improvements, but I enjoy the challenge.
Great build, beautiful piece of art. Greetings
Stunning work as always 😊👍.
Refreshing, the build from the box. Without all the aftermarket stuff
Your work is such an inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing so many trics and avdices that improve our work. I would love to see you build a Bf 410. It's such an amazing aircraft
This has to be the closest you have come to "out of the box" build you've done in a long time!
Another amazing build….amazing detailing
Hi David thanks for sharing another great build of my favourite aircraft
Wow, your first Airfix video in 6 years
Awesome job! Beautifully done! Congratulations! 👍👍
Thank you , David .
🐺
The addition of 1/72 scale termites was nice touch
工作も塗装も判るけど真似できない凄さを感じます。
エアフィクスのキットをここまでやれたら凄いです。
Absolutely fantastic, I built this model a year and a half ago and it was a great kit!
Very well done David, you never fail to amaze me as you work in the smaller scales of our hobby. Keep up the GREAT work!
You are a master, and you know it.
Thank you very much to share your passion.
Nice build as always. I'm still in awe of your 1/700 Walrus😀. I use Tamiya XF-85 Rubber Black when I'm doing aircraft with black color schemes. Straight flat black makes them look like toys.
Impresionante trabajo!, muchas gracias por su vídeo.
Great work David on the most beautiful aircraft of WW2. Been waiting for you to do this for a long time
Your work is amazing!
One of the finest aircraft ever built and you have done it justice, fantastic results. As a competition table model I always fancied doing the one of the aircraft from the 1944 Oslo Gestapo Raid, it’s wing tip was lost to a lamp post that I would use as the model support… Yes that actually did happen, flying down the main street at 15 - 20ft, one of the (unarmed) Mossie pilots claimed a BF109 as it failed to avoid the apple tree while chasing him.
Beautiful model David!
I love how you included the sounds of the workstation as well :D
Excelente trabajo.. posiblemente de los mejores modelistas del mundo.
Once again, you have built a beautiful kit! Keep them coming, we love your work! 👍👍🙂
I totally enjoy watching your videos. Your work is exceptional and inspiring. I regret that I no longer have the steady hands of my youth.
Superb job again David!
Some beautiful work on a beautiful plane Plasmo
Your model making is amazing. I have learned so much and I like them all. I would {some day} like to see a race car, AFTER a race. With paint chips, a dent or two, worn tires, and weathering such would happen after 24 Hour La Mans race. Just saying. Thanks for your videos and I appreciate your narrated comments.
Nice to see Airfix get a big thumbs up.
Hope you enjoyed your time in the UK and at the RAF museum
Plasmo is legend.
I bought the 1/32 Tamiya Mossie even though I do not have space for it.
Beautiful work on that 72nd mossie!
Excellent build David.............😁
Outstanding. A perfect job as usual.
Great job on the Mosquito 🦟!
Great job, as always!
What an amazing detailed job especially considering the 1/72 scale. A little masterpiece!
Outstanding work, as always
Well, I’ve given it a go! I bought some wire...0.03, 0.02 and 0.01mm and rewired it....even went a bit further than you, David, as I’m adding in the Cockpit Pressurisation vents....yes, I found a diagram for it on the web!
It’s been a learning curve. I added in the bomb aimers kneeling pad, starboard side shelf, the canisters that sit underneath it (one of them prevents moisture build up), fire extinguishers and extra panels as required. This was “scratched” but I’ve now got some photoetch stuff, so the next build will be more defined!
My skills with a paint brush, particularly on such tiny details, even when assisted by magnified vision, are not good enough! I probably need to mask off bits in order to get to your precise standards....but you’ve inspired me!
The kit, once you sort out the bomb doors and fairing, looks fabulous, superb shape, etc. I’m going to add some motors, wiring, etc to the next build and get the props whirring....just need to work out a suitable stand for it, so that the “in flight” look is maximised!
Thank you for your films...absolute gems on their own and a joy to watch.
The cockpit frame rivets is a great idea !. The masking putty is good too, I use Blutac which is used for sticking posters to walls, I roll it into snakes like you do with the masking putty and then cover the parts I don't want painted with tissue paper split into one layer.
Hooray! Just about to start on the Airfix Wellington.
Really, really sensible work. You are awesome. Nice plane choice! Cheers! 🛩
It would be so cool to see you making the Titanic
Always love your videos and your builds!!!! Thanks for sharing
Excellent job on a great kit 👍👍
Nice work as always David...👌
Airfix are producing some great kits now.
You really have taken this Mosquito to another level!
Incredible ,Sir!
Even their Classic Range with some new retooled parts are worth looking at too.
Very nice build! It’s not just Airfix, a lot of model kits have the wings unrealistically thick and there have been several times I’ve had to sand them down, making them thinner. Don’t know why these model making companies can never seem to get it right.
Got ready to go to bed when I noticed plasmo has made another 2 engined aircraft for me to enjoy watching
7:27 On the bomb bay Airfix got this right... AND wrong! They used accurate 3D scans of a real Mosquito in a museum as the basis for the design, however it was a post-war example which had that area cut down so it could carry a tow as they used them to tow-targets for anti-aircraft training. So it's accurate for that specific mark (TT.35) but for the B.XVI it is incorrect and you fixed it perfectly. I believe Airfix have fixed this in their newer PR.XVI boxing.
Maestro! The steadiest hand in Europe:)
I needed this inspiration for a helicopter build I'm doing.
Nice build again Plasmo
Me encantan tus trabajos, gracias
Great build and video🎉
Thanks again for the videos Dave. =)
beautifully built...excellent.
Very Impressive. You should build the Airfix Vulcan B.II some time.
As always you knocked it out great job.
Mosquito is definitely one of my all-time favorite prop planes. First saw it in Secret Weapons Over Normandy, and now I wish we had more variants of it in War Thunder. Having only the FB variants is so limiting. I would love to see the B, F, and NF series as well. Hell, even throw in the Sea Mosquito TR. It's such a beautiful plane, and I want to fly more of them.
Yo you should make a series on skill you use for painting and weathering. Or a guide on a plane you make a long video of the whole build.
Fantastic build David, the De Havilland Museum is a must to visit just of the M25 junction 22, 3 mossies there!
my gosh you did it ! I was waiting for a mosquito for so long !!! I love it
Very nicely done, as always.
you did a great job
Great job! Thank you very much from Italy.
