LSP_Ray Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I am curious about this new system. I assume these are not the same as the peel away carrier film type. So is the decal just the ink? And it is tough enough to transfer to the model, with adhesive just under the ink? Neat trick if so. ill have to try some. Sure would be the thing for NMF aircraft. D.B.

Same basic concept, but without the peel away film which limits the process to single objects like national insignias and the like. My primary market for them at the moment is U.S. military vehicles, but I'm working on some aircraft ideas too. CShanne and LSP_Ray 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to aircraft subjects HGW does such a great job with their wet transfers for stencil data that there's no point in us jumping into this market, and then there's a million decal sheets of the highest quality and the growing use of painting insignias to compete with. Frankly, the market for aircraft is saturated and with my limited time I'm concentrating on things we do well in a more open market, namely our line of Fabric Texture uniform patches. I'll be 75 in December and slowing down; concentrating on releasing things I enjoy doing and can do well. I'll leave the future of innovation in aftermarket to the young bucks (like I was 30 years ago) with their enthusiasm and drive. I'm happy with Archer on semi-auto-pilot while I return to my first love - building 1/32 and enjoying the incredible new innovations available to us today.
