1/48 revel B1B Lancer Aka the Bone
Posted by fighterguru on Friday, December 11, 2015 7:37 AM

I have this massive kit and have finally after a long Hiatus from building pulled this out of its cave. I have decided to rescribe all of the panel lines on the wings and tail. Id like to know if anyone else have taken on this daunting task and what kind of issues am I faceing with doing this.

Rescribing is not difficult with the right tools. Bigger is probably easier as well, and wings are usually fairly flat which helps also. Tamiya scriber, Dymo tape, and patience are your friends.

One trick that works in some areas, and is simple, is to make panel line decals. Using inkjet decal techniques, make a very fine line, one or two pixels wide, in black, dark gray, or a darkened tint of the color used on the surface.  It makes quite subtle panel lines.  You can also put little rivet dots along the line (these should NOT be black, but a darkened version of the main color used).
