Tutorial how to apply Carbon Decals on 1/24 scale model car

[@KarlScaleModeling]

Great tutorial and thank you for taking the time to film it, put together into a tutorial and share with us all. I was using the same softener as you however I was also using a hair dryer and I was noticing that the softener and the hairdryer don't match together! Seeing you use the softener alone, this week I tried it without hairdryer and the results are much better. No damage to decal and it sets in place just the same. So thank you for this lesson my friend. Well done and keep the content coming!

[@JHHobby]

Glad i can help! appreciate your feedback! =D there is really tones of way to do this carbon decals, but with tamiya decals this method work best and its simple.

[@KarlScaleModeling]

@@JHHobby I am using HD decals and they're great. Wanted to get some Tamiya ones but with the pattern like yours were out of stock, so I got the HD instead. Works great, but would love to try the Tamiya too. I'll try ordering again in the coming days 👍🏻👍🏻

[@JHHobby]

@@KarlScaleModeling i see..i just ordered HD and scalemotorsport decals..these 2 carbon pattern is nicer, hopefully it work just as nice as tamiya haha

[@KarlScaleModeling]

@@JHHobby The first carbon I laid was from Scale Motorsport and it was easy to bend and take shape. Then I tried HD and found it even better to take shape of items so I kept using the HD. Pattern of HD was nicer too in my opinion. So I'm sure you'll find them easy to work with.. I'll order some Tamiya to try them out too ☺️

[@JHHobby]

@@KarlScaleModeling nice! I think i go with tamiya because it is cheaper, but the more i see HD and scalemotorsport one's they are definitely better looking. That's why im a little upset with this supra built..but overall its a great experienced

[@bfdzvalable]

YO!!!! I'm on it it. My next build will be carbon fiber. Great tutorial. Thanks.

[@JHHobby]

Go for it!😁😁

[@smalldream256]

Really beautiful work. It looks simple, but it was definitely challenging you have a lot of patience !! I love it ! Keep doing what you do, it's great. 😮😮😮😉😀

[@JHHobby]

haha yes it is! i almost gave up doing this project, its so tough and challenging, very time consuming too. thanks for dropping by! =)

[@cerbervm]

It is a pretty good tutorial, thanks! I pasted the tape to a piece of cardboard and then cropped the carbon fiber piece, this to avoid damaging the decal. Just as a complement to the video.

[@radityaindera3442]

You just earned a well deserved sub. Great work!

[@JHHobby]

haha thank you so much! really appreciate it!

[@andru2625]

Excellent work! Thank you for sharing!

The wheels looks great Thank for sharing

[@mikesmodels2830]

I've done alot of carbon fiber decals on a few models, Pagani video on my channel, but never a whole body. I need to try it some time.

[@JHHobby]

Cool😁 i might check your videos out😄 yess you should try one, although its very tiring and challenging but its worth it

[@ACCollection]

Great tutorial mate!

[@JHHobby]

thanks! =)

[@brianwagner4306]

Great video love it. Where do I purchase this carbon fiber decal and do they sale carbon fiber wrap for plastic models? Also can I get the clear coat there as well?

[@JHHobby]

Hi, i got my decal from hlj.com, link in description.😁 clear coat you have to get it from your local store because most of the online store dont ship paints

Wow, awesome work there.

[@JHHobby]

[@davidbeeson1178]

Way cool my friend, it worked out awesome and looks good.

[@JHHobby]

thank you! glad u like it

[@edoardoelle2140]

Fantastic! What is the clear coat applied on the carbon?

[@JHHobby]

Thanks! I used Mr.Hobby Super Clear

[@KMLee99]

Awesome work!! I wish I had the skills like you :( Did you already paint the model kit before adding the carbon decals?

[@brianwagner4306]

What paint and clear coat did you use and how many coats did you apply

[@ryanyeethegifted]

Amazing job.

[@JHHobby]

thanks man!

[@JoseDiaz-nd9ic]

JUst saw this video now, and WOW, what detailed work. Question, is it better to apply decals on a matte surface , semigloss or glossy surface? ty again, wonderful video!!!

[@verovieira1]

Thanks for teaching us !

[@JHHobby]

hehe no problem! =D

[@太郎-u6j6o]

とても綺麗に貼れててすごい！ 私が貼ろうとすると破れたり、線が出来たりする😅

[@Bryan-cs9to]

Very nice model

[@JHHobby]

Thanks!

[@EmptyPocketsXotics]

Great video and great work! I'm jealous... Any tips on how to get rid of the excess if your piece of decal is slightly too large? Cut it before or after it dries? Thanks 👍🏼

[@JHHobby]

Thanks man, it depends on the decals, some decal u can cut it before its really dry and still can peel it off..some decal will cracked if its too dry😅 so its best try to slowly cut before its fully dry

[@keithsmodelsandrcs6593]

Looks great bud 👍

[@JHHobby]

Thanks man! 😄😄😉

[@keithsmodelsandrcs6593]

No problem bud great awsome talented builder id love to have half ur know how 👍great job keith

[@arsamyazdanian7123]

what are other good brands to use that work well in uneven surfaces and softeners because the tamiya decals are always out of stock

[@JHHobby]

Best brand i use so far is from hobby design, but they cost alot😅

[@alihussain483]

Hi where can i get the decal drom and the exacto knife and that cotton bud ?

[@JHHobby]

The carbon decals u can find them at HLJ.com or Bnamodelworld.com 😁 Cotton bud u can get anywhere😂

[@alihussain483]

Thanks

[@alwin144]

Just wondering is mark setter needed? or is mark softer enough to act as an adhesive

[@JHHobby]

With good decals yes u can skip mark setter😁

[@radityaindera3442]

How do you know if the pattern going to be aligned between each separate decal piece?

[@TanYawMingTVChannel]

Great work. May I know which brand of masking tape are you using?

[@JHHobby]

thanks bro! any hobby masking tape will do. tamiya, U-star, those taiwan hobby products all worked fine =)

[@TanYawMingTVChannel]

@@JHHobby noted with thanks. I thought it was a normal masking tape from stationary. Thanks to your video. Now I know how to apply water decal on a curve area!

[@JHHobby]

@@TanYawMingTVChannel no problem bro! normal masking tape abit too thick haha

[@aarongwatson1]

Bro where’s the best site I can get some of these from?

[@JHHobby]

hi, you mean the car kit? =) and where are u from?

[@scottcopeland1144]

I find when the decal is completely dry, it has expanded to areas I don’t need the decal. Any tips on how to avoid and fix this? Thanks!

[@brk8841]

Wow great work cograts!! Can i ask how you get the blue carbon look?

[@JHHobby]

thank you! i use clear blue and spray on the carbon before laying clear coat =) you can watch the full built on my channel =D

[@brk8841]

@@JHHobby Thank you, i will watch it soon. And i have additional question. I have an autoart huayra in grey color but it does not have carbon decal roof, so i want to apply it only to the roof but i will touch the cars original color or will not dissassembly the car. So after applying decal, how should i do the clear coat without damaging the originality?

[@JHHobby]

@@brk8841 alright cool =)

[@brk8841]

@@JHHobby Thank you. Which brand and model is that clear blue color? And my second question, which compressor and airbrush do you use?

[@JHHobby]

@@brk8841 any clear blue will work actually, the one im using on this project is Modo Sky clear blue. i used 1-2 hp PUMA compressor and a fairly cheap Ebay airbrush..VEDA if im not mistaken

[@Rms-18]

What clear are you using that is safe for the decal?

[@JHHobby]

Most hobby clear is safe to use😁

[@Bob-ud1fi]

Is it me or this decal is like blue carbon ? But for me i personally love blue carbon. And if that's so, i would buy like 10 piece of this decal

[@JHHobby]

Hi, i sprayed clear blue on top of the carbon decal to have that hint of blue =)

[@Bob-ud1fi]

@@JHHobby ohhh so that makes sense. I thought i was color blind or smth xD . Thanks friend !!

[@byFCdesign]

Amazing ! What is your Clearcoat ?

[@JHHobby]

Thanks! I used Mr.hobby Super clear

[@brianwagner4306]

Thanks!

[@vincentlussier8264]

I think it's carbon fibre overkill! The guy is very good at it but first off I don't even like the carbon fibre look. Not on a whole car. I use cf decals for some parts that call for it in engine bays but I don't have the patience for it. I'm not downing your work, you do good work but my God that's a lot of patience and ongoing work! Did you carbon the inside also? Just kidding, your work rocks!

[@JHHobby]

Haha thanks..yeah its indeed overkill🤣 just trying out new stuff and always wanted to make one full carbon model car. Yeah some of the interior is carbon too

[@mirfaizall]

Can i just put on the decals without respraying (the primer/paint/finisher) the body? Will it make any difference?

[@JHHobby]

u mean after you apply the carbon and leave it raw?

[@mirfaizall]

@@JHHobby sorry i meant before putting the decals on the body

[@JHHobby]

@@mirfaizall owhh you can paint the body 1st no problem..i dont think it will make any big difference

[@mirfaizall]

@@JHHobby and i could also put on the decals without respraying the body first right?

[@JHHobby]

@@mirfaizall yeah man =) no problem at all haha

[@conjurequeen5688]

What’s the best website to by these? I’m from Australia

[@JHHobby]

hi, i know i order some items from an australian website before..its called BNAmodelworld.com

[@piotrczaplinski8525]

I can't find the video, how to paint carbon blue.

[@김지우-k6q]

after decaling, blue clear spray??

[@JHHobby]

yes haha..u can check out my Full built, i used clear blue

[@Bolt5520]

I need to work on my model building skills…

[@GrauHer]

Subscribed!!!! Gret work there mate! Once I read that is better to not submerge the decal into the water, but let it soaking the water, standing over a stretch piece of cloth or paper very wet. Anyway, one question. How should you CF wishbone armas, like the pieces from F1 cars?? REGARDS!!

[@JHHobby]

thanks!! i think both work fine too haha..i havent try that technique yet

[@iliepataki6735]

One question : if i am going to fully cover a model car in carbón decals, can i apply it on the bare metal or its necessary to paint the body of the car? Does anybody know?

[@JHHobby]

Hi, if bare metal i think its better to paint it 1st..normally we start with a black base for better coverage..some small missed area will nt be obvious too if the base is black

[@iliepataki6735]

@@JHHobby ok thank u very much, i guess i ll have to paint it then, its also more professional to apply it on black paint. But is it also necessary to clear coat the paint before the decals?

[@JHHobby]

@@iliepataki6735 haha no problem..no you dont need to clear it 1st..just any black paint is good..after decal you apply clear coat and polish to get the maximum protection and shine

[@iliepataki6735]

@@JHHobby Thanks again mate, one last question, please. What Type of tool you use for polishing? Its not sand paper, is it? I ve heard people use 2500 sand paper for polishing. 🤔

[@JHHobby]

@@iliepataki6735 no problem haha just ask me anything =) sandpaper is use for wet sanding, you can either use hand polish or machine polish..i got made a video on how to polish, can check them out too haha

Looks great... but I'll leave it up to the pros
