Quinta Studio在2019年左右推出的“3D转印贴纸”,至今已经形成一个种类繁杂的庞大产品系列,在国内也很可以很方便的入手。但受限于价格昂贵,以及官方含糊不清的命名,很多模友至今仍对它望而却步。
来自网站The Modelling News的这篇评测(原文地址https://www.themodellingnews.com/2020/11/construction-review-qunita-studio.html)不仅对该产品的实际使用方法做了详细讲解,也回答了很多模友最关心的问题,甚至还进行了简单的压力测试,是一篇内容充实的难得参考资料。该评测成文于并不久远的2020年左右,原文甚至连品牌名称都抄错了,想必这玩意即使在欧美选手那边也仍是是相当新鲜的存在。
本文纯粹转载加翻译,仅代表作者个人观点(我是完全没意见),只是在一些需要说明的地方加了点注解。
想提醒大家的是,Quinta Studio也在同时销售其他类似功能的产品,使用方法未必就和文中提到的“3DDecal”相同,还请多注意。

Quinta Studio 3D贴纸内构细节改造套装试用评测
作者:Gary Wickham
We are constantly searching for search forthe ultimate solution to one of the hardest areas of aircraft modelling, thecockpit. Alas, that one stop - fix all solution - the silver bullet if you willhas not yet been found. Qunita Studio seems to have an interesting proposal intheir new and much talked about interior 3D-decal detail sets. Gary has some athand, and he shows us just what they contain and how they apply to a real modelin his review...
我们一直在努力寻找针对飞机模型最难处理的区域之一——座舱的终极解决方案。可惜的是这个一步到位的解决方案(我愿称其为“绝招”)至今仍待发掘,而Quinta Studio最新推出的话题产品“3D转印贴纸内构细节改造套装”似乎揭示出一条有趣的路线。Gary已拿到了部分产品,将在评测中详细介绍其内容和实际应用的情况。
Qunita Studio is a new aftermarket companyspecializing in the production of clear canopy and interiors for model kits.Based in Russia, the Quinta team has been rapidly building a catalogue ofcockpit detail sets, sometimes releasing a new set each week.
Quinta Studio是一家新近成立,专注于生产模型配套透明舱盖和内构细节的改装件公司。这个位于俄罗斯的团队正迅速扩张自己的座舱细节套件产品目录,新品的发布频率甚至能达到每周一次。
Quinta has captured a lot attention fromthe modelling community because they use 3D colour printing to incorporate awide range of embossed details such as recessed instrument dials, their raisedoutlines, instrument blocks, switches, buttons, signal lamps, levers andhandles, riveting detail and so on.
Quinta已在模型圈中备受瞩目,他们所采用的3D彩色打印技术可以表现出丰富的立体细节,诸如凹陷的表盘、突起的轮廓线条、仪表板、开关、按钮、信号灯、拉杆、手柄以及铆钉等等。
Quinta advertises the following features asdifferentiators for their product:
- The glass in instruments of the dashboardare perfectly smooth and give excellent gloss
- The smallest elements and inscriptionscan sometimes be read under strong magnification.
- We take the authenticity of colours veryseriously and carefully, matching from actual colours.
- Unlike other manufacturers, we are notafraid to show real photos of how our product looks on a macro photo, with astrong increase (20X), but not only a photo of an electronic layout.
- Our product is convenient in operationand easy to install, since there is no need to collect "sandwiches",as in photo-etching
Quinta在自己的宣发材料中如此介绍产品的内容与特点:
-仪表板中的仪表玻璃罩呈现出完美的平滑质感和出色的光泽效果
-部分细小的印刷铭文甚至可以借助高倍放大镜辨识
-对颜色的考证严谨认真,力求还原真实
-与其他生产商不同,我们愿意坦然展示自家产品在放大20倍微距拍摄下的真实效果,而非仅仅放出电子图样。
-我们的产品处理简单组装便利,无需像蚀刻片一般叠“三明治”
The 3D printing process manages to combinethe raised surface details typically found on resin parts with the ease of useprovided by coloured photo-etch parts.
3D打印技术将树脂零件的立体细节与彩色蚀刻片的便利操作成功的统一起来。
In what seems like a very short time, theteam at Quinta have amassed an impressive line up of interior detail sets foraircraft cockpits in all popular scales (1/32, 1/48 and 1/72). Luckily for methey have more in 1:48 (my favourite scale) than the others at present and Iwill admit to getting a bit carried away with my order.
Quinta团队在很短的时间内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与1/72)的飞机座舱内构细节套件产品线。令我感到幸运的是,他家1/48比例(我最偏爱的比例)的配套产品尤其丰富,让我不由自主地选购了很多。
When I first saw the Quinta sets popping upon the forums and Facebook groups, like most modellers, I had a myriad ofquestions about how they actually worked. The detail looked amazing in photosbut how did you apply them ? Were they delicate like normal water slide decalsand if so what steps were needed to get them to work properly ?
当第一次在脸书讨论群和论坛上看到Quinta产品的消息时,与大多数模友一样,我对它们的真实表现充满疑问。照片中呈现出的细节固然很棒,但现实中如何使用?它们会像水贴一般脆弱吗?若真如此又该怎样正确的使用它们?
Frustratingly the information provided byQuinta and the forums seemed to be of limited help and so it was not until Ifinally got hold of some sets that I could understand what they are, and moreimportantly what they are not.
遗憾的是不论Quinta还是论坛所提供的信息似乎都很有限。所以只有将这些产品拿到手上,我才能确实理解它们能做到什么——更重要的是——做不到什么。
A good place to start is the smallinstruction sheet that Quinta includes with each set. This has some usefulinformation which is very worthwhile reading to get a better understanding ofthis new product.
最佳的着手点是每套Quinta产品中都附带的一小份说明书。上面的内容非常实用,值得认真研读来进一步了解产品。
尊敬的顾客!
感谢您选购Quinta Studio的产品。在您手中的是最新一波技术浪潮催生的产物,具有鲜明立体感并全彩印刷的转印贴纸,该产品采用最先进的设备生产。
Quinta Studio公司是将这一技术应用于比例模型改件制品的先行者,我们将该产品命名为“3D转印贴纸”。
3D转印贴纸将树脂改件锐利的表面细节与彩色蚀刻片的便利操作相结合。更加复杂的表面加工技术令我们的改件拥有更为精密的立体细节,同时兼具高品质的彩色涂装。
-我们推出的产品拥有丰富的立体细节,诸如凹陷的表盘、突起的轮廓线条、仪表板、开关、按钮、信号灯、拉杆、手柄以及铆钉等等。
-我们的产品采用聚乙烯胶片作为产品介质,赋予3D转印贴纸一定的强度与韧性,足以承受操作过程中施加的适度压力。胶片材质更能在整个操作过程中保持物理性能并提供长期使用寿命。
-无需假组和涂装(和树脂改件相比),无需“三明治”式的多层堆砌(和彩色蚀刻片相比)。
-每块表盘已预先覆盖一层透明光泽聚合物,以呈现生动的“玻璃感”效果。
-由于3D转印贴纸要显著厚于传统转印贴纸,我们建议使用粘合剂定位。推荐PVA基胶水(类白乳胶),也可以使用Microscale公司的金属箔粘合剂(Microscale MI-8),或亚克力水性涂料(例如田宫X-22或Future Pledge【类碧丽珠水蜡】)。
-细小零件还可使用氰基丙烯酸酯胶水(类瞬间结合剂)粘合。由于这类胶水干燥速度很快,在定位时尤其需要准确,迅速和细心。请尽可能选择干燥速度相对较慢,定位时间相对充裕的啫喱型瞬间胶。
!!!不建议使用水贴纸软化剂(Micro Set/Sol 郡士Mr Decal 等等)!软化过程可能导致表面细节溶毁,细节锐度降低等问题。
The main takeaways from this informationsheet is that the parts are made from 'polymerized vinyl', unlike normalprinted decals. They are significantly thicker than normal decals and so needadhesive to keep them secured to the model and you do not (and should not) usetraditional decal setting solutions when working with them.
说明书中最重要的关键是相较于普通转印贴纸,3D转印贴纸由“聚乙烯胶片”制成。它们要比普通转印贴纸厚得多,所以需要额外的胶水来固定,而不能(也不应该)使用传统的贴纸软化剂(不论含背胶与否)来处理。
What we want to know about these sets:
This was a good start, but as part of myreview I wanted to try and answer the following five questions by using aQuinta set on an actual model:
- How different to normal decals are theyreally ?
- 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 overthem ?
To help me answer these questions Iselected the set for my HobbyBoss 1/48 F-105G Thunderchief set (QD48073) andbegan by reading the 'Working Tips' instruction sheet.
对于这套改件我们都想要了解什么:
这是个良好的开始,但在实际应用评测中,我想得到如下五个问题的答案:
-它和普通的水贴纸究竟有多大不同?
-粘贴/固定的最佳方式是什么?胶水是否必须?能不能像普通水贴一样直接贴上去?
-彩色涂装是双面都有吗?
-和模型的契合度如何?
-能否在其上进行旧化和渍洗操作?
为了获得这些问题的答案,我选择了小号手Hobbyboss 1/48 F-105G雷公的配套改件(货号QD48073),从阅读说明书上的“操作技巧”开始着手制作。
3D转印贴纸操作技巧
1、备好配套的塑胶套件。可能需要根据情况移除原套件零件上的凸起细节(详情参考具体套件说明书中的水贴部分)。
2、可以考虑预先在对应零件施加底漆或涂料以提高3D转印贴纸的附着力。
3、小心的在对应零件上薄涂一层胶水,在使用Microscale的金属箔粘合剂时,确保胶水涂层转为透明后再进行粘贴。
4、将3D转印贴纸浸入温水,令其与底纸剥离(操作方法和传统水转印贴纸一致),随后将其在塑料零件上定位,等待干燥(大约20分钟)。
5、为了增强附着力,可以在3D转印贴纸周围使用瞬间胶。小心操作!建议使用竹制牙签或是细线绕成小圈操作。不建议手持胶水管操作。
Having now inspected the sheet closely andread the install steps I was pretty sure that what we had here was thin vinylparts attached to some standard decal backing paper and that once released fromthe backing paper these vinyl parts would be standalone and I could store themuntil 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 normaldecal.
在仔细阅读说明书上的操作步骤后,我已基本确定这款产品是一种附着在标准水贴纸底纸上的薄胶片。一旦将其与底纸剥离,这些胶片就可以独立存放,随时使用对应的亚克力粘合剂将其安装到模型上。为了尽快验证这个理论,我将它像普通水贴纸一样浸入热水。
After less than 15 seconds the vinyl partscould easily be picked up off the paper with some tweezers. No need to slidethem off like normal decals as these parts were quite sturdy and I dried offany excess water on them using a paper towel and cotton bud. Remember theseparts are made from vinyl which does not absorb water, so its only surfacewater to be dealt with. Each part was put now put aside (on a plastic tray) foruse later on.
在不到15秒的时间里胶片就可以用镊子轻易的从底纸上剥下。因为这些贴纸本身具有一定硬度,就无需像普通水贴纸那样从底纸滑动到粘贴位置,我用纸巾和棉棒将多余的水分去除。要知道这些胶片并不会吸收水分,所以只需掉处理表面的水分。将所有的零件都放在旁边(一只塑料盘)备用。
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 decalbacking paper that needs water to release them but after that they are not likenormal decals at all. Once off the backing paper they are more like pre-paintedphoto-etch parts than a decal.
它们和普通转印贴纸一样吗?
这是最首要的问题:它们和普通转印贴纸一样吗?答案是:很不一样。它们确实附着在底纸上,也需要通过浸水来剥离,但得到的东西就和普通转印贴纸完全不同。一旦剥离底纸,它们的形态更像是预涂装蚀刻片而非转印贴纸。
