Congrats on the game sponsor deal! super cool when high quality content gets recognized and sponsored. This build, like all your others, was spectacular.

Just called my dad and told him to watch your vids. We used to both enjoy building models (he is 83 now and I'm 53). It is such a pleasure to see you work.

Watching a master of his craft at work is a truly satisfying experience. Thank you!

[AlexModeling]

If you could use a shrinking Ray to shrink a real Sturmovik this is the way it would look! Fantastic and very real looking build! As always top build!

Today I've discovered that my favourite model maker plays my favourite game.
This is the best day in my life

[randytaylor]

Absolutely beautiful!
Your weathering adds so much depth and colour to the model and tells a visual story of hard use and bad weather.
Bravo!!

I've been building ship models the last 7 months. My family says where ya gonna put them all? I said I'll have to add a room onto the house. But the truth is now that I've watched two of your videos my favorite was painting models with oil paint has given me additional energy to build more, including that extra room. Lol!!

IL-2 je pro mě osobně velmi zásadní letadlo. Jako malý kluk jsem ho poprvé spatřil v jedné staré učebnici dějepisu. Byla to působivá černobílá fotka na které letěl myslím nad Berlínem. Jako malej kluk jsem se díky bráchovi dostal k modelaření a jedním z mých kousků byl i tento letoun od Směru velikosti 1/72. Co jsem se u něj navztekal, letadla od Směru často neměla úplně padnoucí díly. Nakonec jsem ho dodělal (byla to jednomístná verze ) a považoval jsem ho za svůj nejlepší model vůbec. Jenomže jak šel čas, z nějakého důvodu jsem měl potřebu ho předělat na zimní kamufláž a to byla chyba. Nikdy nepředělávejte hotový model. Model vzal čas, pravděpodobně nakonec padl střeleckým pokusům se vzduchovkou ale po dvaceti letech se vracím k modelaření a tenhle létající tank určitě taky přijde na řadu !

Same thing with me, I was wounded in Afghanistan and spent 18 months in the hopital having surgeries and starting rehabilitation. During my last spine surgery they found cancer and when I got home, I went through another 8 weeks of chemo. The entire time I was watching Plasmo, Andys and Flory. Now im in remission and started a charity to help Veterans in my area learn modeling. I have literally reccomended your channel over 2000 times in my newsletter.

I already wanted this model… you just made it the next addition to my stash!!! You are a master builder!😮😮 I wish I could do as good as you.

[philipsharpe]

I really haven’t seen a more skilled modeller than this guy. Simply astounding work!

[Brimmlinn]

Absolutely stunning! Many years ago I built that huge 1/72 B-52 from the really old molds so the entire kit had raised panel lines and rivets. Sanding then scribing all those lines by hand was a huge challenge, Modeling tools have come so far. If only I had time, but these videos scratch that itch. Thank you for sharing your efforts.

I stopped modelling 25 years ago. I did have some moderate success at my national IPMS contest over the years and during my last year in the hobby, I also judged a WW1 aircraft category. Your models are IPMS contest level. You have patience, do not cut corners in any stage of the build, a good grasp of many weathering techniques, you understand how an aircraft surface looks different than a tank surface and i every time the final result is of high quality. Special high marks on your weathering, you are not afraid to "go deep", but you also have the restraint to keep a balance. Normally this Sturmovic would have been even more weathered and paint chipped in real life, but on a model it would not necessarily look as good. Congratulations from a nostalgic, keep it up :)

[ThePvthudson]

Your shading and color modulation is thru the roof with this model. I'm amazed how talented you are and how good you've become!

[thomasward]

I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now and I just want to say thank you! I have improved in my modeling so much because of your tips and explanations on weathering.

[russemerson]

I just used the AK Real Colors (with Mr. Leveling Thinner) on a project for the first time. Absolutely loved them.

[tobiuslunar]

I am always amazed at the amount of preparation & work you put into your projects, its a real pleasure watching you take bits of plastic & create a work of art. Thank you for the pure joy you bring to people when sharing.

For the first time I see a youtuber promoting an actually good game!
