Troy Molitor Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I recently sold my Trumpeter F-117. These lovely looking IP’s wouldn’t be possible without one’s own sacrifice. I love this awesome hobby! &@$@#!. I hope they do an F-14D..... Marcel111, Kagemusha and Anthony in NZ 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 This is just amazing, the fidelity of these products takes our hobby to an entirely different level. Thanks for sharing these photos. I am really impressed at the fidelity and the possibilities that 3d printing brings to the hobby. And it is still in its infancy. Just amazing!

thierry laurent Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I do not know why but I do not like lit displays. When a plane is parked the probability to see them up is very low. Typically, you need to add some ground crew, electrical connections and so on. Another option is to put the plane rolling or even in flight with a pilot figure. However, these two scenarios are rarely chosen by modellers. So, why doing such a choice whereas this also increases the risk to get a toyish look? Eduard regularly made the same choice. I'm always puzzled by that... Daniel Leduc, Jan_G, John1 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevepd Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 If this is priced keenly, I think these will do well. Give it a year and I’d like to think there are a few choices of aircraft Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s something I like about the Quinta ones. All MFDs are powered down. Being the heretic I am I have several 1/48 sets from Quinta on the way.

Paul2660 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Just a heads up, Their website when viewed on a iPhone appears to have an error where you can't get to the checkout. Odds are it's a "Mobile Friendly" problem. Works fine on PC/Chrome. Paul C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Griewski Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Thanks Jan but these seem me to be cheating. I love painting all the buttons and the edges of bazillions of interment dials. Everyone I thought felt the same. It is model building after all. LOL <forget I said this> My new Tornado kit will be getting this treatment if they become available. What about the Tamiya F-15E?

Kagemusha Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 No offence Rick, but we already had the cheating discussion in a similar thread recently, as with all thangs, it's all down to personal choice, no right, no wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it some variation of a 3D printer? Is it a Russian secret weapon? It is a 3D printer that uses a colored vinyl. Think of it like an old plotter that puts down tiny drops of the vinyl in layers. Whatever they use would be like a Stratasys’ Objet500 Connex3. Edited October 12, 2020 by nichenson Smokeyforgothispassword 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Just from appearance, the only differences I can tell other than they are doing different subjects is that some of theirs appear to have the aircraft on whereas Quita has them off, but that isn't every case. It also appears that Red Fox is trying to match MRP paints. I haven't seen anything from Quinta showing what they are matching. I did order a couple of sets so I can say definitively when they get here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPad and iPhone will have totally different interface for the web. Website needs be mobile friendly for iPhone. This is why all iOS iPhone apps and iPad apps are different and not interchangeable. One of the big pains when developing a website so that it’s both mobile friendly and browser friendly. Since vast majority of web access is based on phones now and this your google ranking it’s more important then it used to be. Paul C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
