Dutch Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Amazing work there. Product line appears to be Russian specific at this time.But very nice indeed. Hopefully will expand to western aircraft as well. R/ Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crackerjazz Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Really curious as to what kind of printer/technology is used for building these. I can probably draw an F-14 instrument panel in 3D but I still send stuff out to Shapeways for printing and I just know that layer lines will be visible so instrument decals are out of the question. And in the end it will still require hand painting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Whatever he does that I have a kit or kits of, I'll be buying these. So far, his pricing has been very reasonable, but I think that as soon as he figures out how popular these are going to be, the prices will go up. I'll be getting the Mig-29 set as soon as he releases it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mstor Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 I posted on their Facebook site that the response here was very positive. Here is Alexandr Trofimov's response (don't know if he is the head of the company or just the spokesperson on Facebook) "Mark, thank you so much. And yes, we are accelerating. In the near future several new products will be released every week." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And in the end it will still require hand painting. That's why I believe these are likely screen printed. Similar to the raised screen printing they've been doing to make movie super-hero costumes. That's my guess anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Looks like the Mig-29 sets are available. They are for sale on e-Bay. I purchased a set. Will report on how they look when I get them, hopefully later this month. P.S. the e-Bay listing has some very good pics comparing them to Eduard PE for the same kit. They look even more 3D than I originally thought. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Better-than-Eduard-Photo-Etched-FE682-Quinta-QD48008-3DPrint-1-48-MiG-29-GWH/164157983212?hash=item26389409ec:g:uX0AAOSwZxZekkuq Edited April 16, 2020 by Mstor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crackerjazz Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Thanks for the link. Incredible, those pics in ebay. You can almost start flicking switches about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Quinta has also released a 1/48 Mig-29 vacuum formed canopy. Looks pretty nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mstor Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Looks like its going to take longer to get to me than I thought. Package hasn't left Russia yet. Oh well, good things come to those who wait (hopefully). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

These things look great. Very curious to see your review. Maybe it's been mentioned but I'm curious the application method. I wonder if it's still water slide? I would assume so. Very cool technology. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
