Larry, you may already know this, but if you buy a quality plastic kit like Tamiya of the T-28 you will have something to go by for all lap seams, panel lines, and inspection panel detail.

It appears there is a misunderstanding on "panel lines". Looking at the photo you will see rivet rows where the leading edge skin panels secure to the upper flap and aileron skins. Look closer and you can see the overlap of these skins. These are referred to as panel lines. Also notice all laps ("panel lines") are made so water will stream over them to prevent water from entering the structure.
