    I was an A-10 pilot, and I can say without question this model truly depicts what the jet looks like...and in 1/72 scale! Amazing work...a few minor inaccuracies, but I'll keep those to myself. FANTASTIC job bring the Hawg to life!

      @@dflo4165 When we were deployed, the entire front of the jet would become ABSOLUTELY FILTHY. 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. Stateside our maintainers would do a good job washing and keeping them clean, but there is little you could do at many deployed locations.

      @@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.
      What an amazing amount of detail he puts into his builds. Very impressive!!

      @@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 CZcams can rise the price of his work quite significantly.

      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.)

    Not only a master craftsman when it comes to building models, but also a humanitarian who deeply sympathizes with people who don't like weathering their models!

    Now look here Mr. Damek. The English language only has a certain amount of superlatives and you are using them up! But "nice one" doesn't do your brilliant work enough justice. So here is another one, exquisite sir. Regards from England.

    A few of my friends are Black Snakes, they get to work on the A-10 all the time. There is definitely a few inaccuracies but as someone that has probably never seen the avionics and other systems of the hog. You did a great job

    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!

    I remember that kit!
    First time I mixed colors without given ratios, because I wanted the earlier green/grey 3 tone camo. The light green was way too yellow-ish, but otherwise it was one of my best models, considering I was around 12 back then.
    The aircraft provided invaluable CAS in my sandbox. Good times.

    This guy is a frickin' DaVinci. Forget "Gold Standard" Plasmo is "Platinum with Diamonds" level.
