![]() This panel line accent seems to work really well, it flows easily into the panel lines and clean up easily with a Q-tip and enamel thinner. ![]() It likely will work well with mineral spirits for clean up. I let it dry for about 30 minutes and then I used a Q-tip that was dipped on Mig Thinner for washes (I was not sure what else to try to clean it up). In any case this wash highlighted very nicely all the panel lines. On top of the Future it spreads into the panel line a shorter distance than when I applied on top of of bare plastic. My observation in this case was that the wash behaved more like a “pin wash”. Very restrained, yet clear surface detailed popped out due to the application of this wash. You can see the before/after application. ![]() Then I decided to try this product on a Bf-109F-4 which had a coat of Future on top of the decals. The wash just flows on its own along the whole panel line. Not only that, but 3 applications were enough to see all the panel lines completely covered. In this review I applied 3 “spots” of panel accent line to an unpainted piece (leftover) from and Eduard model and it did not damage that plastic. The panel line accent is packaged in the same kind of bottle than the Tamiya Glue down to the small and thin applicator brush, which comes in very handy when applying it to a recessed panel line. They are an enamel-based wash, so it is smelly and it could attack bare plastic, so test it on a scrap piece (a runner or extra part) first. Tamiya has released a “Panel Line Accent” line with 4 colors: Black, Brown, Gray and Dark Brown.
