Hi all! It's russell from singapore and recently i've got myself a Tamiya A10 kit... And right now i nid a little help regarding painting it... So far i've spray painted the entire body with Tamiya's Neutral Gray (USAAF) and i would like to create that realism effect along the rivet/panel lines... How do i achieve that?

Thanks all!

Here's my workpiece on my dining table...

The cockpit area has been covered with masking tape together with the turbines which are currently protected by some old newspapers...

could you explain the realism you mean, are you on about pre shading so the eges are dark and the center of the panels are lighter?
