Looks like Quinta is getting into the actual decal business. 5 colour upper and lower semi transparent lozenge in 1/72 $3.75US and 1/48 $6.25US at Hobbynut Models

Steve,

Thanks for the notification.  I just ordered some.  Hopefully we'll see them around the new year.

Has anyone figured out how many Albatros D Vs you can do with a package?

I'm very pleased with their interior 3-d printed decals so am hopeful about these....

I see that they are also coming out with fuselage plywood decals of various sorts....

I just received mine today.  They look to be printed PERFECTLY.  (I'm still trying to figure out what I will do with a bunch of Americals sheets, ranging from a little bit out of register to way out of register.)

The 1/72 Quinta set has two strips, 7 1/2" x 5/8" ( 193mm x 18mm)  I think the answer is one Albatros per package, and the pack is either upper or lower.  Looks like a great value to me.

I tried them on the faired spreader bar on a 1/72nd scale Eduard Fokker D.VII I was well along painting.  Their instructions say to paint the background white before applying the decals.  I didn't understand this until I slid them off the sheet.  They are very transparent.  After application, the result looked similar to Aviattic's faded lozenge.  This wasn't the look I wanted on this particular build, so I removed the decal before it dried.  I do intend to build a generic D.VII, probably with green streaked fuselage, and do the wings up in the Quinta lozenge to give it a proper go.

For me this begs the question: are these decals significantly better than Aviattic's offerings?

That's the $1000000 question. Price and availability factor in but decal companies are LEGION for other subject matter so choice is nice in this niche market.

I am also interested in whether or not these are a little easier to apply than the Aviattic decals. I like the Aviattic stuff in terms of colour density but their stretchiness and difficulty to trim once applied are the areas I have found most challenging. Is the Quinta stuff any better?

Cheers,

Are Quinta products available in Europe at all? As far as I know they’re from Russia so given the current political/military quarrel also this kind of „military equipment“ might be subject of restrictions.

I was wondering that as well Andreas.

I ordered mine for another project from the48ers.com - Cyprus and only 1/48. I too would hesitate ordering from Russia which is unfortunate.

Interesting, yes Quinta is located in Russia.  I ordered the lozenge through HobbyNut Models.

As far as their application, they seemed just like any other thin decal.  I had no problems putting them on or getting them to lay down.

Thanks Stuart - what were they like to trim once applied?

Cheers,
