• Tamiya Panel Line accent paint..........anyone here used it?.......picking up some Black to use on the Tamiya AA painted TS53 Dark Blue.....any tips,hints,issues?...you remove it after its dried using the Tamiya thinner?...it doesn't affect the TS paint? ....thanks. *NM*
  • I used it on a die cast truck body. Mineral spirits used on a damp, not wet, Q-tip removes it. Also the best way to darken cowl grilles or vents. I suppose you should test on your choice of paints to be sure. *NM*
  • A hint/tip , likely less applicable to your build since it’s a dark color but I usually flow my panel line first then do the color coats. Find its looks more realistic than that dark black look when applied after the color coats *NM* *PIC*
    • That's a neat idea. So the panel lines don't get obscured too much? *NM*
      • Depends on the model, some I will scribe a bit deeper with the back of an excato if they are too shallow but most of the time I haven’t needed to *NM*
        • Thanks. *NM*
  • Will get the Panel Line stuff today but after checking the painted body found the faintest mold lines that the paint highlighted....a light sand with 1200 got rid of them so will throw a few more coats of TS53 & see how the panel lines look, Mineral Spirit in Oz is mineral
