Penny, that F-16 in the gallery is very nice lookin'!

One question. How did you do the panel lines? They look really good because their visible but not overpowering.

Thanks for the good compliments guys. The kit is a 1/48 scale Arii F-16 Falcon. On the panel lines, I mixed up grounded down pastels, black and brown, then took a very thin brush and cut the brissles down to a stub. I just brushed the chalk dust into the panel lines. It really turned out alot better that I tought it would.

Hi Chief,
The paints I used are you basic Model Master enamels. I did the panel lines with pastel chalk dust.

Hey Penny, just had an opportunity to sneak over to the 'Photo Gallery' and check out your F-16.
Very nice stuff there Penny my dear. Very nice indeed. Methinks you have a touch of the 'Gunnie' in you
