They way they layered the harnesses for the seat is incredible.
Right? Really clever design!
Awesome. Thank you very much for sharing. These decals look excellent.
Wow! Those are really sharp, thanks for sharing. Have a great day.
Very cool decals. Seat belts, too? Fascinating. My current stash (about 300-400 kits) is all W.W.-II AFVs, so I don't really need any more kits to work on. Even so, it was fascinating to see how much detail you can add to an aircraft with well made decals. Thanks for sharing.
nicely done and I am really impressed with the new 3D printed decals. Enjoy your videos on all the tips and tricks to becoming a better model builder.
Thank you! Glad to hear you're enjoying - thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for the tutorial. I'm building the Tamiya 1/48 scale BF-109E 4/7. Using Quinta cockpit decals for the first time. Love them; they are very easy to work with.
Right!? They're very handy for sure. Thanks for watching 👍
thankyou for sharing your expertise. your tips will go a long way to enhance my future model messerschmitt construction.
Thank you! Very glad to hear it - enjoy & happy building 👍
Stunning. Your fine motor control is mind boggling.
Oh thank you! Far too kind, I appreciate it 😁
I used Quintas decals on a p38 and they are awesome. I messed up the seatbelt as i left it in the water too long, but it was my first time. :)
Love your tutorials they have helped me immensely!
Awesome - I'm so glad to hear it! Thanks for watching
That looks great Hank, love the 3d decals.
Thank you very much! 🍻
Amazing video can't wait to get some they look so good
Aren't they cool!? Thanks for watching 👍
Looking amazing man, got me wanting to pick up a set for my 1/72 bf 109 g 6
Awesome! Enjoy & happy building!
Great video! I’ve used them on a Tamiya Corsair and FA190D9 - love them and they are also my first go-to if available. I’ve found that you have to cover the plastic surface well (but not thickly) or there is lifting/peeling
Thank you! And mine are holding up well so far - haven't had any issues yet 🤞
Boy howdy, Plastic Modeling sure has come a long way since the days of Verlinden and using bits of sprue to create raised details for cockpits and such! 👍🙂
Haha yeah, there are certainly a lot of innovations out there! 👍
I thinking about modeling again and your site is very helpful thanks and I had over 300 different models but that was when I was 12 to 16 yrs old but know IAM 59 My first plane is going to be a Aircobra model because that was my first one but I'll keep watching your site thanks 😎👍
Oh that's great! I'm glad to hear the videos are helpful, and that you're getting back into the hobby! Great choice with the P-39 - enjoy 👍
I seem to remember back in the ‘80s that there were some kits released that were just cockpits. They were large, probably 1/16 or maybe 1/8(is that possible), and extremely detailed. As I recall, there was an F-15, F-16, maybe an F-4, and I think something from WWII. That was just around the time that I was winding down my modeling hobby and started adulting more full time. Sigh.
I stumbled across some of these videos just a couple days ago and I believe that if I’m actually able to retire, I’m going to have a serious look into starting this up again.
Awesome!
Thank you!! 👍
Very nice! Good job on the gunsight glass ;)
Thank you!! 👍🍻
Incredible. I’m not usually a aircraft builder, though I have a few aircraft in my stash. This is incredible. Amazing detail. Thanks for sharing. Maybe you can do a canapé tutorial, so I can become a certified airplane builder lol
Thank you for watching! I'd love to do a canopy tutorial as well - hopefully when I get to that stage I can film something!
Great video!
Thank you very much - thanks for watching!
This is great!. I've never seen decals that look in remotely close to those. I def need to get my hands on some of those.......GAME CHANGER!!!
Right?? They're fantastic - I was blown away 😁
@@SpruesNBrews do they make them for most models or only select few?
@@shaunrosario4748 it seems like they've got a pretty big assortment - some ground vehicles, too!
@@SpruesNBrews ok cool sounds good. Would be cool if they came out with some 1/16 scale decals TOO dont forget bout me on steam haha!
Hi Hank, great presentation. Do you happen to know if I could get Quinta decals in the Uk. Love your stuff please keep it coming. All the best
Woooooow... Excellent, excellent.... Great details. Fantastic work! Cheers.... 🙌 .... 🔥🤘🔥 ... 🖤🐺🖤 ... 🍻🍻🍻👋👋👋
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it - cheers! 🍻
Love how you said "Dunkelgrau" :D Thanks for the video. Very interesting. These decals look phenomenal.
Thank you! They're really something - I loved using them 👍
@@SpruesNBrews absolutely gorgeous. Rather pricey but well... I expected nothing else. Pity they have no kit for the Mig - 21MF. Will build one in the near future and thought about trying out these decals. Maybe next time then.
very beautifull
Thank you very much!
Quinta and Red Fox have been making 3D decals for a while, but Eduard is now getting into it as well.
I say the more the merrier! They're fantastic 👍
Hey Hank - looks fantastic
Thank you very much!! 👍
@@SpruesNBrews I wish I had known about them before finishing my cockpit for the mosquito for the group build 😉👍🏼🤣 take care
Awsome
OOH man. Thanks for these. I literally could have used these 3 days ago on my B109 build for your competition. lol Oh well. I'll definitely use these going forward when I can.
Ahh bummer - next time! 👍
@@SpruesNBrews Lol no worries. I did buy three sets though!
so refreshing..
Thank you!!
@@SpruesNBrews you're most welcome!
Yes they do lift the model with the detail on the decal, i was going to get some myself till i found they come from Russia! so will have to wait till we have peace in the World again! Nice video BTW
They've got a lot in stock on SprueBrothers still!
That is so neat. Nicely done. Do they make a larger cockpit version too?
Thank you! I think they've got cockpits up to 1/32 scale! 👍
I cannot say how much l love these. I am working on one of Tamiya's P 38 and the instrument panel alone justifies using them. The only issue l had was with the seat harnesses...l snapped each trying to get them to conform. As far as a sealer, l'd do it by brush especially if the instrument panel is attached. As it may take away from the glass appearance on the dials. Also, no need for any setting solutions.
They're fantastic - sorry to hear you had some trouble with the belts!
My dad got my building models an .049 powered bigger planes when I was blind for 3 years of 3 eye surgeries! Dad come home an check my days work then we'd set up tomorrow build plan. For those 3 years I didn't know if I would ever see again, so when bandages removed I we found out I could see. We celebrated by flying airplanes we built.
Wow! What a story that you two can share, very nice 😁
Im getting a 1/72 Mig 29, may have to get one if they have any for 1/72 Mig 29.
Nice! Yeah I bet they do!
This is a really big model, you could almost find an old Volkswagen and use those instruments. I like Raymonds comment below about availability on the P38. Darn, there goes the balance of my August beer money . How about making an instrument panel from plastic sheets and saving this panel for another model. You make it look so easy.
Haha you're right, this is a big one! I think they're a solid investment - I can't wait to see how it looks in the finished build 👍
Another fantastic build video mate. I was just wondering what material you used to make the clear reflector on the gunsight? I'm currently building the kit and I'm not keen on using the grey one they include. Cheers and keep producing your top notch content.
Thank you! I used a bit of the clear plastic backing that came with the cockpit detail set to cut a few pieces for the reflectors. Worked out pretty well!
@@SpruesNBrews Looks like it worked a treat. Thanks for the reply!
Its possible to build commercial cockpit super details??
Nice! Did you finish the T-34 you started a while ago? I can’t find any follow up vids.
Thanks! I haven't gotten back to the T-34 in a while, but I will!
I've got some, they look wicked pissah.
Yeah buddy! 🤘
I know this is an old video but I’m currently building up the border models bf 109 g6 and was wondering where you got the clear pieces for the gun sight
I scratch-built them out of a little piece of plastic!
I’ve been using Quinta Studio 3D decals for quite a while now although their have 2 contenders that I know of they are hard to beat. Now since many countries have applied sanctions to Russia you have to order their decals from Azerbaijan then you will receive your order from Russia. How cool is that?
Cuss words were invented for how good they look :)
Haha I think you may be right! 😅
I’m new to airbrush painting, what’s the ratio you use for tamiya paint ? Also how should I measure the ratios ?
ooo I haven't airbrushed with Tamiya paints in quite a while - but I'd recommend checking out Andy's Hobby Headquarters here on CZcams. I know he sprays Tamiya quite a bit & should have some good recommendations 👍
@@SpruesNBrews Thank you !
Do they/you have any decals for the x-wing? I couldnt find any on your page :/
I've never built an x-wing, so unfortunately I'm not sure! I would recommend checking out a scale model distributor like spruebrothers.com or megahobby.com
sweet
Thanks! 👍
😍😍😍👍
😁👍
probably be easier to replace the instrument panel with a flat sheet of styrene
Yeah that'd probably work, too!
Very high quality, impressive. Almost feel like cheating, doesn't it?
Haha a little bit 😅
Is that BF 109? :)
It is indeed!
@@SpruesNBrews lol
Nice product, but made in Russia. Red Fox Studios has a similar product.
I'll have to check those out, too!
...and Ukrainian Kelik, which seems to be Res/Kit's sibling.
As much as this is a boon to your average modeler, it lessons the value of the skill of expert modelers. 😩
Eh I disagree - I think that any product with the potential to increase accessibility to this level of detail across a range of skill levels is a good thing. Making one piece of the process a little easier for some doesn't inherently negatively impact somebody who is interested in doing it the "hard" way. I think this hobby is at its best when it's available & enjoyable to everyone 😁
@@SpruesNBrews I never said it was a BAD thing, just that it makes the work of the rivet counters and scratch builders less spectacular. I remember when I was a kid, model kits were for kids. Now they’re for adults and you can easily spend several hundred dollars on one model kit. Increasing detail while not increasing the skill level needed only works if the add-on is available for the kits you have. P.S. I do think these are pretty neat, myself.
Just built the cheapo revell p51 1/48. Cant even see the instrument panel after install. What a joke.
It’s not all about what you can see but just knowing how awesome it looks. Really are you ever going to pick up the model and examine the cockpit? No. It more for pleasure and isn’t for everyone, also don’t help if it’s cheap
Unfortunately Quinta is a Russian company so availability to western countries might go away.
Oh I didn't realize that - interesting
Red fox do similar products
I can't see to good. Sorry
Couldn't be easier because you're not actually building anything
Fair play!
@@SpruesNBrews that said ive used them in last 4 builds. I aint trippin
Too bad the company is russian. Otherwise I might've considered purchasing some. Stop the war, don't support orcs in any way.
I don't think it's right to ostracize a member of our scale modeling community simply because of where they were born - boycotting a small scale modeling business wont hurt the powers that be over there, but it will certainly cripple a small business owner. The war cannot be blamed on innocent civilian; our defense must be aimed at large corporations & those who profit off of Putin's crimes.
@@SpruesNBrews honestly I think that is the only chance. Unless the people of Russia will feel the pressure, Putin will still have their support. Money from those businesses are flowing back to the regime anyway through taxes and other 'payments'. This is the least we can do for Ukraine.
Honestly, these 3D decals seem like cheating to me, scale modelling should be about creating these effects yourself, not having these effects be manufactured and you just glue them on, yes they look great, but I still don't like them for this reason
Please dont swap painting skill for money outlay. How is it entertaining and what is the viewer learing compared to someone doing simple improvements and painting ? I get it .. both ways but one is not you . M
