discussion Panel line washes?

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

I'm just putting the finishing touches to a F-16c Thunderbirds build and I'm in two minds whether to add a wash for the panel lines, I know the actual aircraft are spotlessly clean but I'm hoping it may just make the detail pop.


What do you guys think?


I'll be using Flory washes so as they are clay based it wouldn't be hard to remove them.

Looking at photos of the Thunderbirds F-16s, I'd say a light coloured wash might bring out the panel lines. You can definitely see riveted areas and panel lines under that pristine white paint in photos online.

Yes I agree with Joe

Do the wash, it's easy to remove after all.

I would wash over gloss varnish. Found Flory's slightly stained a matt acrylic finish after removing it..
