Latest Acquisitions Revisited!

The airscale decals are nice but i wish they would increase the resolution, the problem is they sell some of them as specific US/RAF/German decals but TBH they all look the same because of lack of detail.

Thanks James
They look nice and sharp , maybe they will do the placards and engine plates eventually

I did mention that they're illegible and I agree that for the specific engine plates, I would certainly get them if they improved on that in both 32nd (Continental engines in the M3 Lee/Grant as an example) and 1/48th. Even in 72nd, I would get them.

As for Quinta, they do look good for the bezel inserts as the rounded edges are fine there but they look like cake frosting, or expanded foam, when they should have be smooth with sharp edges. These, for the 32nd scale AH-1G show what I mean...

Compared to the pre-painted PE from MicroDesigns, I will go with the latter each time since it also allows the use of switches (instead of pimples) through the holes once sees.

Now, comparing all my options, with the Metallic Details offering omitted (as I forgot)... There are items I will use from Quinta but will mostly use the others...

The separate dials from Quinta look very good but the complete panels are poor, i bought them for my FW190 build and i didnt use them they were that bad . 3D Print doesnt seem to work well enough to make it an up grade from std Decals, in fact its often a downgrade, especially if you want things Mat black.

Agreed, 100%
