YouTube Video: Academy F-35A by PLASMO - plastic models

YouTube's a great resource for learning new techniques and expanding your skills.  I'm going to periodically share videos I've found to be interesting and useful.

This one features a build of Academy's F-35A from the channel PLASMO - plastic models.  Watch the whole thing, but I would like to especially point out the epoxy putty seat belts starting at about 1:42.  This is not the first time I've ever encountered this technique -- it's often used by pattern makers for resin seat masters, I believe -- but it's an interesting alternative to photo etch belts, which can be expensive and not always convincing.
