                        Washing raised panel lines
                        Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, April 18, 2004 11:52 PM
                        Is there a way to 'wash' raised panel lines on older aircraft kits?

                        A wash is intended to high-light recessed panel lines by making them darker in contrast to the AC color. I don't see how that would work with raised panels.

                        What would be a good way to accentuate raised panel lines then?

                        I've seen descriptions of modelers dry brushing raised panel lines, or undercoating with a dark color and very carefully sanding the top color off so that the undercoat shows. Never tried it personally. I normally rescribe older kits to remove the raised lines and replace with recessed.

                        Yeah, I thought it had to be removed. Crappy. I guess I just got spoiled by armour kits, where I've never had to rescribe anything. What do you people use to scribe? I know there are a variety of scribing tools out there. Which is the most versatile?

                        Well, building Armor has it's own challenges, but you don't have to scribe panel lines or mask & paint canopies. I use a tool makers scriber with a tungsten tip made by Starret and also use the one sold by Squadron, which is designed more like a dental pick. You could also use a large steel needle in a pin vice.

                        After painting, you sould sand the model with a very fine sand paper and the rised panels will come out. You sould be very carefull in order to not sand too much or the paint will come out too.

                        what i do is dry brush the raised panel lines with the color that works best with the model so you can see the lines

                        I read somewhere that you can just accent just one side of the raised panel line. If you accent both, it looks like a "double" line and won't look right.
