Status: online 		I am building my first scale plane, and I needed some tips on very simple techniques to weather the plane, especially the molded in panel lines.

My paint system is PPG, with a DBC base and Flex and Flat 2060 clear coat.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Status: offline 		I like to use a dark gray or brown wash to highlight my panel lines. I have even used a fine tip black pen which is drawn down into the panel line and then use a rag with alchohol to wipe most of it away. You just want to leave a hint of dark down in the line to make it stand out a bit. Less is more when it comes to weathering so be subtle. Good luck.

PS- on a dark airplane you may consider a wash of a lighter color

They are dedicated to plastic scale models, but these guys are masters of weathering and a lot of good tips can be found.
