轉&譯 Quinta Studio 3D轉印貼紙試用評測

Quinta Studio在2019年左右推出的“3D轉印貼紙”,至今已經形成一個種類繁雜的龐大產品系列,在國內也很可以很方便的入手。但受限于價格昂貴,以及官方含糊不清的命名,很多模友至今仍對它望而卻步。
來自網站The Modelling News的這篇評測(原文地址https://www.themodellingnews.com/2020/11/construction-review-qunita-studio.html)不僅對該產品的實際使用方法做了詳細講解,也回答了很多模友最關心的問題,甚至還進行了簡單的壓力測試,是一篇內容充實的難得參考資料。該評測成文于并不久遠的2020年左右,原文甚至連品牌名稱都抄錯了,想必這玩意即使在歐美選手那邊也仍是是相當新鮮的存在。
本文純粹轉載加翻譯,僅代表作者個人觀點(我自己是完全接受的),只是在一些需要說明的地方加了點注解。
想提醒大家的是,Quinta Studio也在同時銷售其他類似功能的產品,使用方法未必就和文中提到的“3D Decal”相同,還請多注意。

Construction Review: Qunita Studio Interior 3D-Decals - Detail Sets
Quinta Studio 3D貼紙內構細節(jié)改造套裝試用評測
?
作者:Gary Wickham

We are constantly searching for search for the ultimate solution to one of the hardest areas of aircraft modelling, the cockpit. Alas, that one stop - fix all solution - the silver bullet if you will has not yet been found. Qunita Studio seems to have an interesting proposal in their new and much talked about interior 3D-decal detail sets. Gary has some at hand, and he shows us just what they contain and how they apply to a real model in his review...
?
我們一直在努力尋找針對飛機模型最難處理的區(qū)域之一——座艙的終極解決方案??上У氖沁@個一步到位的解決方案(我愿稱其為“絕招”)至今仍待發(fā)掘,而Quinta Studio最新推出的話題產品“3D轉印貼紙內構細節(jié)改造套裝”似乎揭示出一條有趣的路線。Gary已拿到了部分產品,將在評測中詳細介紹其內容和實際應用的情況。


Qunita Studio is a new aftermarket company specializing in the production of clear canopy and interiors for model kits. Based in Russia, the Quinta team has been rapidly building a catalogue of cockpit detail sets, sometimes releasing a new set each week.
?
Quinta Studio是一家新近成立,專注于生產模型配套透明艙蓋和內構細節(jié)的改裝件公司。這個位于俄羅斯的團隊正迅速擴張自己的座艙細節(jié)套件產品目錄,新品的發(fā)布頻率甚至能達到每周一次。
?

Quinta has captured a lot attention from the modelling community because they use 3D colour printing to incorporate a wide range of embossed details such as recessed instrument dials, their raised outlines, instrument blocks, switches, buttons, signal lamps, levers and handles, riveting detail and so on.
?
Quinta已在模型圈中備受矚目,他們所采用的3D彩色打印技術可以表現(xiàn)出豐富的立體細節(jié),諸如凹陷的表盤、突起的輪廓線條、儀表板、開關、按鈕、信號燈、拉桿、手柄以及鉚釘?shù)鹊取?/p>
?
Quinta advertises the following features as differentiators for their product:
- The glass in instruments of the dashboard are perfectly smooth and give excellent gloss
- The smallest elements and inscriptions can sometimes be read under strong magnification.
- We take the authenticity of colours very seriously and carefully, matching from actual colours.
- Unlike other manufacturers, we are not afraid to show real photos of how our product looks on a macro photo, with a strong increase (20X), but not only a photo of an electronic layout.
- Our product is convenient in operation and easy to install, since there is no need to collect "sandwiches", as in photo-etching
?
Quinta在自己的宣發(fā)材料中如此介紹產品的內容與特點:
-儀表板中的儀表玻璃罩呈現(xiàn)出完美的平滑質感和出色的光澤效果
-部分細小的印刷銘文甚至可以借助高倍放大鏡辨識
-對顏色的考證嚴謹認真,力求還原真實
-與其他生產商不同,我們愿意坦然展示自家產品在放大20倍微距拍攝下的真實效果,而非僅僅放出電子圖樣。
-我們的產品處理簡單組裝便利,無需像蝕刻片一般疊“三明治”

The 3D printing process manages to combine the raised surface details typically found on resin parts with the ease of use provided by coloured photo-etch parts.
?
3D打印技術將樹脂零件的立體細節(jié)與彩色蝕刻片的便利操作成功的統(tǒng)一起來。
?
In what seems like a very short time, the team at Quinta have amassed an impressive line up of interior detail sets for aircraft cockpits in all popular scales (1/32, 1/48 and 1/72). Luckily for me they have more in 1:48 (my favourite scale) than the others at present and I will admit to getting a bit carried away with my order.
?
Quinta團隊在很短的時間內就建立起一套令人印象深刻,囊括了所有主流比例(1/32、1/48與1/72)的飛機座艙內構細節(jié)套件產品線。令我感到幸運的是,他家1/48比例(我最偏愛的比例)的配套產品尤其豐富,讓我不由自主地選購了很多。
?

When I first saw the Quinta sets popping up on the forums and Facebook groups, like most modellers, I had a myriad of questions about how they actually worked. The detail looked amazing in photos but how did you apply them ? Were they delicate like normal water slide decals and if so what steps were needed to get them to work properly ?
?
當?shù)谝淮卧谀槙懻撊汉驼搲峡吹絈uinta產品的消息時,與大多數(shù)模友一樣,我對它們的真實表現(xiàn)充滿疑問。照片中呈現(xiàn)出的細節(jié)固然很棒,但現(xiàn)實中如何使用?它們會像水貼一般脆弱嗎?若真如此又該怎樣正確的使用它們?
?

Frustratingly the information provided by Quinta and the forums seemed to be of limited help and so it was not until I finally got hold of some sets that I could understand what they are, and more importantly what they are not.
?
遺憾的是不論Quinta還是論壇所提供的信息似乎都很有限。所以只有將這些產品拿到手上,我才能確實理解它們能做到什么——更重要的是——做不到什么。
?
A good place to start is the small instruction sheet that Quinta includes with each set. This has some useful information which is very worthwhile reading to get a better understanding of this new product.
?
最佳的著手點是每套Quinta產品中都附帶的一小份說明書。上面的內容非常實用,值得認真研讀來進一步了解產品。

尊敬的顧客!
感謝您選購Quinta Studio的產品。在您手中的是最新一波技術浪潮催生的產物,具有鮮明立體感并全彩印刷的轉印貼紙,該產品采用最先進的設備生產。
Quinta Studio公司是將這一技術應用于比例模型改件制品的先行者,我們將該產品命名為“3D轉印貼紙”。
3D轉印貼紙將樹脂改件銳利的表面細節(jié)與彩色蝕刻片的便利操作相結合。更加復雜的表面加工技術令我們的改件擁有更為精密的立體細節(jié),同時兼具高品質的彩色涂裝。
-我們推出的產品擁有豐富的立體細節(jié),諸如凹陷的表盤、突起的輪廓線條、儀表板、開關、按鈕、信號燈、拉桿、手柄以及鉚釘?shù)鹊取?/p>
-我們的產品采用聚乙烯膠片作為產品介質,賦予3D轉印貼紙一定的強度與韌性,足以承受操作過程中施加的適度壓力。膠片材質更能在整個操作過程中保持物理性能并提供長期使用壽命。
-無需假組和涂裝(和樹脂改件相比),無需“三明治”式的多層堆砌(和彩色蝕刻片相比)。
-每塊表盤已預先覆蓋一層透明光澤聚合物,以呈現(xiàn)生動的“玻璃感”效果。
-由于3D轉印貼紙要顯著厚于傳統(tǒng)轉印貼紙,我們建議使用粘合劑定位。推薦PVA基膠水(類白乳膠),也可以使用Microscale公司的金屬箔粘合劑(Microscale MI-8),或亞克力水性涂料(例如田宮X-22或Future Pledge【類碧麗珠水蠟】)。
-細小零件還可使用氰基丙烯酸酯膠水(類瞬間結合劑)粘合。由于這類膠水干燥速度很快,在定位時尤其需要準確,迅速和細心。請盡可能選擇干燥速度相對較慢,定位時間相對充裕的啫喱型瞬間膠。
!?。〔唤ㄗh使用水貼紙軟化劑(Micro Set/Sol 郡士Mr Decal 等等)!軟化過程可能導致表面細節(jié)溶毀,細節(jié)銳度降低等問題。
?
The main takeaways from this information sheet is that the parts are made from 'polymerized vinyl', unlike normal printed decals. They are significantly thicker than normal decals and so need adhesive to keep them secured to the model and you do not (and should not) use traditional decal setting solutions when working with them.
?
說明書中最重要的關鍵是相較于普通轉印貼紙,3D轉印貼紙由“聚乙烯膠片”制成。它們要比普通轉印貼紙厚得多,所以需要額外的膠水來固定,而不能(也不應該)使用傳統(tǒng)的貼紙軟化劑(不論含背膠與否)來處理。
?
What we want to know about these sets:
This was a good start, but as part of my review I wanted to try and answer the following five questions by using a Quinta set on an actual model:
- How different to normal decals are they really ?
- What's the best way to apply/secure them. Do you need to use glue or do they adhere like normal decals ?
- Is the colouring double-sided ?
- How well do they fit the target model ?
- Can you apply weathering and washes over them ?
?
To help me answer these questions I selected the set for my HobbyBoss 1/48 F-105G Thunderchief set (QD48073) and began by reading the 'Working Tips' instruction sheet.
?
對于這套改件我們都想要了解什么:
這是個良好的開始,但在實際應用評測中,我想得到如下五個問題的答案:
-它和普通的水貼紙究竟有多大不同?
-粘貼/固定的最佳方式是什么?膠水是否必須?能不能像普通水貼一樣直接貼上去?
-彩色涂裝是雙面都有嗎?
-和模型的契合度如何?
-能否在其上進行舊化和漬洗操作?
?
為了獲得這些問題的答案,我選擇了小號手Hobbyboss 1/48 F-105G雷公的配套改件(貨號QD48073),從閱讀說明書上的“操作技巧”開始著手制作。


3D轉印貼紙操作技巧
1、 備好配套的塑膠套件。可能需要根據情況移除原套件零件上的凸起細節(jié)(詳情參考具體套件說明書中的水貼部分)。
2、 可以考慮預先在對應零件施加底漆或涂料以提高3D轉印貼紙的附著力。
3、 小心的在對應零件上薄涂一層膠水,在使用Microscale的金屬箔粘合劑時,確保膠水涂層轉為透明后再進行粘貼。
4、 將3D轉印貼紙浸入溫水,令其與底紙剝離(操作方法和傳統(tǒng)水轉印貼紙一致),隨后將其在塑料零件上定位,等待干燥(大約20分鐘)。
5、 為了增強附著力,可以在3D轉印貼紙周圍使用瞬間膠。小心操作!建議使用竹制牙簽或是細線繞成小圈操作。不建議手持膠水管操作。
?
Having now inspected the sheet closely and read the install steps I was pretty sure that what we had here was thin vinyl parts attached to some standard decal backing paper and that once released from the backing paper these vinyl parts would be standalone and I could store them until I was ready to apply to the model using a suitable acrylic adhesive. Eager to test that theory I submerged some into warm water just like a normal decal.
?
在仔細閱讀說明書上的操作步驟后,我已基本確定這款產品是一種附著在標準水貼紙底紙上的薄膠片。一旦將其與底紙剝離,這些膠片就可以獨立存放,隨時使用對應的亞克力粘合劑將其安裝到模型上。為了盡快驗證這個理論,我將它像普通水貼紙一樣浸入熱水。

After less than 15 seconds the vinyl parts could easily be picked up off the paper with some tweezers. No need to slide them off like normal decals as these parts were quite sturdy and I dried off any excess water on them using a paper towel and cotton bud. Remember these parts are made from vinyl which does not absorb water, so its only surface water to be dealt with. Each part was put now put aside (on a plastic tray) for use later on.
?
在不到15秒后膠片就可以用鑷子輕易的從底紙上剝下。因為這些貼紙本身具有一定硬度,就無需像普通水貼紙那樣從底紙滑動到粘貼位置,我用紙巾和棉棒將多余的水分去除。要知道這些膠片并不會吸收水分,所以只需掉處理表面的水分。將所有的零件都放在旁邊(一只塑料盤)備用。
?
Are these like normal decals ?
So this mostly answered my first question: Are these like normal decals ? The answer, not really. They do come on decal backing paper that needs water to release them but after that they are not like normal decals at all. Once off the backing paper they are more like pre-painted photo-etch parts than a decal.
?
它們和普通轉印貼紙一樣嗎?
這是最首要的問題:它們和普通轉印貼紙一樣嗎?答案是:很不一樣。它們確實附著在底紙上,也需要通過浸水來剝離,但得到的東西就和普通轉印貼紙完全不同。一旦剝離底紙,它們的形態(tài)更像是預涂裝蝕刻片而非轉印貼紙。

Is the colouring double sided ?
I also answered another of my questions pretty quickly, Is the colouring double sided ? For parts that are going to glued down onto the kit (such as side consoles) you don't need the colouring to be on both sides, but for parts like pull handles or levers that stand off from the kit parts you ideally want the colouring to be seen from both sides. Well, I'm happy to report for all the parts that you would expect to be double sided (like these ejection seat pull handles) Quinta have printed them that way. This shows to me that Quinta have been clever about how they design and print these sets. For this I gave them my first gold star.
?
彩色涂裝是雙面都有嗎?
我很快得到了另一個問題的答案。彩色涂裝是雙面都有嗎?對于直接貼在零件上的部分(比如面板),并不需雙面都有涂裝。但對于拉手或是操縱桿這種立在零件上的造型,最好是雙面都有涂裝。我很高興的報告大家,所有需要雙面涂裝的零件(例如彈射座椅拉手),Quinta都實現(xiàn)了雙面印刷。這是我要給他們的第一個大贊。

Are they flexible?
Another benefit of the use of vinyl is flexibility. I tested this side wall detail part by stretching and bending it and was pleased to find that it was easily able to handle any "reasonable" stress I applied. It's worth noting that later on I did manage to accidentally tear one of the thinner parts so remember they are delicate and proceed accordingly.
它們可以彎曲嗎?
使用膠片的另外一個優(yōu)勢便是它們可以彎曲。我嘗試著拉扯、彎曲這塊側壁的細節(jié)改件,也很高興的發(fā)現(xiàn)它可以承受我所施加的“適度”壓力。值得注意的是后來我也不小心撕壞了一片更薄的零件,所以要記住它們仍然很脆弱,需要小心操作。
?

With most of the general mystery surrounding these sets now cleared up I began to more thoroughly consult the assembly guide for the F-105G as to which parts needed to go where. The paper diagrams are a bit small and crowded but the layout makes sense and it's fairly easy to figure out what needs to go where. As I do sometimes with small diagrams I scanned them into the computer which allowed me to zoom in whenever it was needed.
?
最重要的兩個疑問已然得到澄清,我開始深入研究F-105G的組裝說明書,搞清零件的安裝位置。紙質示意圖幅面不大略顯擁擠,但排版清晰有條理,理解起來并不困難。我有時也會將紙質的小圖片掃描到電腦上,方便放大研究。

Despite being 3D printed, it now dawned on me that for some parts it was still necessary to build up layers using separate parts. A good example is the radar scope in the centre of both instrument panels on the F-105G. The separate scope parts (14) simply need to be glued on top of the base panels as shown.
?
盡管采用了3D打印技術,我發(fā)現(xiàn)部分造型仍然需要靠拆分后的零件組合而成。一個很好的例子便是F-105G位于前后控制面板中央的兩塊雷達顯示器。如說明書所示,單獨成型的顯示器零件(編號14)需要被粘貼到控制面板的基座上。
?
Another thing that I noticed was that on some of the thicker parts the colouring was not applied all the way through. As you can see on the side of the radar scope part it's not black but white. I saw this on a several other parts and an easy fix was to hand paint the edges with black. I guess this must be a limitation of the printing technology.
?
我注意到的另外一個問題是某些厚度較大的零件存在沒有涂裝到位的情況。如你所見本該是黑色的雷達顯示器側邊卻露出白色。這個問題在其他部分零件上也有顯現(xiàn),補上黑色倒是不難。想必就是這種生產方法的技術局限了。

Now I had the basic mechanics of how the Quinta sets worked out, it was time to see how they fared when used on the model itself. I guess it served me right for picking a HobbyBoss kit for my first outing with a Quinta set because when I did a dry fit of the kit cockpit tub I noticed something completely unexpected. There was a huge gap between the tub and the side walls, the cockpit side consoles were not wide enough. Thanks HobbyBoss...
?
現(xiàn)在我已經對Quinta套件的處理方法有了基礎了解。是時候來看看它們在模型上的實際表現(xiàn)了。說來我也是活該,非要選擇Hobbyboss的套件作為與Quinta產品的第一次嘗試。就在我進行座艙澡盆部分的假組時,發(fā)現(xiàn)了完全出乎預料的問題。澡盆和側壁間出現(xiàn)一道大縫,座艙兩邊的面板開的太窄,我謝謝你啊小號手…

My initial reaction was to put it back in the box and choose another subject, but I decided to see how Quinta had dealt with this problem (if at all). To my very pleasant surprise I found that Quinta had taken the time and care to identify the same problem I had found and include correctly sized parts in their set, not just take the easy way out and make vinyl panels to fit the incorrect kit side consoles. Another gold star for Quinta on this one.
?
我的第一個念頭是把東西全部回盒另開一套模型。但我還是打算看看Quinta是如何解決這個問題的(如果他們真的有嘗試解決)。令我非常驚喜的是Quinta確實也細心的注意到了這個問題,并制作出正確大小的貼紙,而不是簡單制作出和錯誤零件相同大小的貼紙敷衍了事。這是我要對Quinta奉上的第二個大贊。

Because Quinta had made the effort to correct the HobbyBoss error I felt obliged to carry on with the F-105G and so I used the Quinta panels as a guide for some plasticard additions to the HB tub. I also took some extra time to fix up a few HB omissions as well like adding some sides of the centre console and properly detailing the top of both IP's.
?
鑒于Quinta對修正Hobbyboss套件錯誤所做出的努力,我感到有義務堅持完成這架F-105G。我以Quinta的面板大小做范,利用膠板修正了HB的座艙澡盆。我還額外花費功夫增加了一些被Hobbyboss省略掉的細節(jié),例如為中央控制面板加裝邊框,并添加兩個儀表板上方的細節(jié)。

To make way for the new Quinta vinyl panels it's necessary to remove all the existing raised detail on the kit parts. For this I like to use a rounded blade and scrape across the plastic. Why a rounded blade ? Well it allows me to position the blade at a wider range of angles than a normal #11 straight blade would cope with. In the end, it does not really matter how you remove the detail (scrape, sand or grind), just get rid of it.
?
為了能正確安裝Quinta的面板膠片,需要先移除原板件上所有的突起細節(jié),我個人傾向于使用圓刃刀片將其刮去。為什么要用圓刃刀片?相對于普通11號刀片(X-acto規(guī)格,相當于Olfa的Ak-4筆刀直刃,Ak-4同樣附帶圓刃),圓刃刀片可以提供更多變的下刀角度。歸根結底,不論用哪種方法(刮、磨或者削),只要去掉就好。

A quick coat of paint was next applied prior to beginning the process of attaching the Quinta panels.
在安裝Quinta面板前預先做一層快速涂裝。

Starting with the sidewalls I used the cockpit tub as a guide to make pencil marks where the vinyl panels needed to be located. The Quinta parts were the exact right length and did not require any trimming at all to line up perfectly with the HB fuselage. For the adhesive I decided to try some MiG Ammo "Ultra Glue". I like this glue as it's a bit like PVA (water soluble) but results in a much tougher bond. I used a brush to apply the glue to the back of the vinyl parts as I figured this would be more precise (less messy) than applying it to the kit parts first.
?
先從側壁開始,我比著座艙澡盆用鉛筆描出粘貼膠片面板的位置標記。Quinta零件的長度一絲不差,不需要任何剪裁,與HB的模型機身完美契合。至于粘合劑我決定使用Ammo Mig的“Ultra Glue“。我很喜歡這款膠水,它用起來很像PVA膠水(水溶),但粘貼強度就高很多。我利用筆刷將膠水涂在膠片背面,這種方式應該會比直接涂在模型零件上要精確的多(也更干凈)。

With the Ultra Glue applied you have a few minutes to get the part into place. The vinyl is rigid enough to be able to hold it easily with normal tweezers and position it correctly. I then found using a cotton bud to push each part of the vinyl onto the plastic helped get it seated properly. This process was MUCH easier than working with photo-etch brass using super glue. The vinyl and acrylic glue is far more forgiving.
?
涂上Ultra Glue后會有數(shù)分鐘的操作時間。膠片本身足夠挺,可以用普通鑷子輕松加持定位。隨后我發(fā)現(xiàn)可以用棉棒壓實每塊膠片令其安裝到位。這個過程比用瞬間膠搗鼓蝕刻片簡單太多太多,膠片與亞克力膠水的容錯率也比前者高上不少。

The side consoles have several smaller panels that need to be layered on top as shown. You can do that before you attach the main panel to the tub or afterwards, it makes no real difference.
如圖所示側邊控制臺上還要再加裝幾片小的面板零件,先裝小面板再裝主面板還是反過來,都無所謂。

What is the fit of the parts like?
After only a few minutes (literally) of gluing and positioning the panels the front cockpit was complete. I was happily surprised just how easy it was to do. Another of my initial questions, What is the fit of the parts like? was now answered. The fit was near perfect.?
?
和模型的契合度如何?
在不過幾分鐘(毫不夸張)的粘貼和定位后,前部駕駛艙的面板就安裝完畢,我對操作的便利倍感驚喜。那么另一個重要問題的答案:和模型的契合度如何?——近乎完美。

I had to make no adjustment or trimming to any of the Quinta parts to get the result you see here. Yet another gold star for Quinta !!
?
我沒有對Quinta的零件進行任何修剪和調整就得到了以上結果。再次為Quinta 送上大贊??!

Encouraged by the results of the front cockpit in equally short order the rear cockpit was also assembled and once again the fit was superb. I needed to trim only one of the side console panels but this was a breeze using a pair of small scissors. Far easier than doing the same with photo-etch brass. A quick dry fit to the fuselage half showed that everything aligned properly. I was a little disappointed that the raised sidewall detail was not quite deep enough to meet up with the new wider side consoles. Much better than what we started with from HB but an extra 2mm on the Quinta set would have been ideal.
?
前座艙的完成效果令我深受鼓舞,在同樣的片刻時間后,后座艙也加工完畢,契合度是也是同樣的優(yōu)秀。唯一需要修剪的部位是其中一面?zhèn)冗吤姘?,也只用到了一把小剪刀。效果不輸銅質蝕刻片,操作卻簡單得多。簡單的假組一下機身,結果顯示所有零件都對的很正。有點小遺憾的是側墻上的細節(jié)貼片和加寬后的側邊面板間還是存在空隙。雖然已經比HB原版的效果強上很多,但如果這里的貼片能再寬上2毫米就更完美了。

Remembering that one of my five initial review questions was to explore How these vinyl parts react to weathering and washes. This task reminded me of the line in "The Hunt for Red October" where Capt Ramius (Sean Connery) tells Jack Ryan, "Be careful what you shoot at. Most things in here don't react too well to bullets". I was really hoping the the Quinta vinyl parts would be resilient enough to handle at least some light enamel/oil based washes and not explode in my face.
?
別忘了我的五個關鍵測評問題的其中一個是探索這些膠片能否經受住舊化和漬洗。這不禁讓我想起電影《獵殺紅色十月》中雷米斯艦長(肖恩·康納利)對杰克·瑞恩講過的臺詞:“開槍時小心點,這里的多數(shù)玩意對子彈的反應都不算好“。我真心希望Quinta的膠片起碼可以經受住部分琺瑯/油畫系涂料的輕度漬洗,不要爆我一臉。
?
My current go-to wash products are the Tamiya Panel Line range and the MiG Ammo Oilbrushers. I applied these to the cockpit (including all the Quinta parts) as normal (perhaps a little lighter) to see what happened.
?
目前我的案頭漬洗涂料是田宮的滲線液系列和Ammo Mig的油畫顏料刷。我把這些涂料和往常一樣(也許略微少一些)涂到了座艙上(也涂到了所有的Quinta零件上),靜觀其變。

Once again the Quinta parts did not disappoint and as you can see I was able to generously apply both washes without any visible impact to the vinyl. I always clean up any excess wash using Artist White Spirit and this too did not seem to aggravate the Quinta vinyl. A final gold star to Quinta.
?
Quinta再一次經受住了考驗,如你所見我的兩種涂料都沒有對膠片造成肉眼可見的破壞。在擦除多余涂料時我會用到美術畫材白精油,同樣沒有對Quinta的膠片造成多少影響。最后一個大贊也非Quinta莫屬。
?

Typically my last step when painting and weathering a cockpit would be to apply a final overall flat coat. In the this case however I skipped that step due to the lovely glass effect that Quinta have applied to all the instruments as shown here. The vinyl finish may be a little shiny for my taste but I can live with it given the amount of work it has saved me.
?
一般來說我會在座艙的涂裝和舊化完成后整體罩一層消光透明。但這次為了保留Quinta改件上優(yōu)秀的儀表玻璃罩質感,我跳過了這一步驟。盡管當前的質感對我來說會顯得有些亮,但考慮到之前所節(jié)省下來的工作量,我完全可以接受。
?

Now that I had finished I became curious to see how these new Quinta detailing sets stacked up against the other available options. As I happened to have a couple of the Eduard LooK sets handy for the Tamiya IL-2 and Tamiya P-38 kits I took some side by side photos to better compare the Quinta and Eduard offerings. You be the judge.
?
工作完成之后,我好奇于Quinta的新產品與其他同類競品間的對比情況。我手中碰巧有兩套牛魔王的“L??k “系列補品套件(預涂裝樹脂改件),分別對應田宮的伊爾2和P-38。為了方便比較我把Quinta和牛魔王的產品并排擺在一起拍攝,請讀者自行評斷。

CONCLUSION - Quinta Studios 3D-Decal Cockpit Detail Sets
At the start of this review I set myself the goal of answering five key questions about the new Quinta detail sets. Along the way I learnt a lot about how to work with these sets and formed an appreciation for what they can offer modellers.
?
結論——Quinta Studio 3D轉印貼紙座艙細節(jié)套件
在測評伊始,我為自己定下了一個目標:找到Quinta新品細節(jié)套件五個關鍵問題的答案。在尋找答案的過程中我深入了解到這款套件的使用方法,也逐漸意識到它對模型愛好者所能帶去的貢獻。

問題解答及評價:
?
How different to normal decals are they really ?
They are very different to the decals we are used to. In fact about the only thing these 3D-Decals have in common with normal decals is the backing paper used. -
?
它和普通的水貼紙究竟有多大不同?
?
與我們常用的水貼紙區(qū)別很大。實際上二者之間的唯一共同點就是都會用到底紙。
?
What's the best way to apply/secure them. Do you need to use glue or do they adhere like normal decals ?
?
粘貼/固定的最佳方式是什么?膠水是否必須?能不能像普通水貼一樣直接貼上去?
?
Each part on the sheet is made from vinyl and once removed from the backing paper requires some form of adhesive to secure them on the model. Placing them on the surface of the model (like a normal decal) without any adhesive would not work well at all. -
?
貼紙上的零件都由膠片制成,一旦從底紙上剝下,需要用粘合劑將其固定在模型上。在沒有粘合劑的情況下無法把它們直接(普通水貼紙的操作方式)貼上去。
?
Is the colouring double-sided ?
?
彩色涂裝是雙面都有嗎?
?
Yes, for parts that will be seen from either side Quinta have made sure the colouring is present on both sides. A+
?
是的,對于會被同時觀察到兩面的零件,Quinta也會在兩面都印上顏色。A+評價
?
How well do they fit the target model ?
?
和模型的契合度如何?
?
Well I've only tried them on one model so far but as you've seen the fit is close to perfect. A+
?
雖然我只測試到一款模型,但就目前的結果來看契合度近乎完美。A+評價
?
Can you apply weathering and washes over them ?
?
能否在其上進行舊化和漬洗操作?
?
Yes, I was able to apply both enamel and oil washes to the Quinta parts with no apparent negative effect. A+
?
可以,我在Quinta的產品上同時試用了琺瑯系和油畫系顏料,并無明顯的負面效果。A+評價。
?
How easy are they to use ?
?
簡單易用嗎?
?
I would rate them as very easy to use, especially when compared to the alternatives of resin parts or pre-painted photo-etch. The vinyl is easy to work with and allows you to use acrylic adhesives that are far more forgiving than CA glue. A+

我認為它們非常簡單易用,尤其相較于其他的樹脂改件或預涂裝蝕刻片。膠片的處理方法非常便利,可使用亞克力膠水粘合,容錯率要比瞬間膠高很多。A+評價

Overall, I'm very impressed with these new sets from Quinta Studios. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to modellers of all skill levels, from beginner to advanced. I have heard some people say they "feel like cheating" and given how easy they are to use I can understand that sentiment. I myself see them as just another option to enhance our models so that we may get more enjoyment from the hobby.

總而言之,我對Quinta Studio所推出的新產品留下了非常好的印象。我會毫不猶豫地將它推薦給從新手到進階,不論水平高低的所有模型愛好者。我曾聽到有些人因為它過于簡易的使用方式,而發(fā)出“感覺有些投機取巧“的評價。對這種情緒我表示理解,而就我個人而言,它們未嘗不是一種提高模型完成度,增加模型制作樂趣的全新選擇。
