Clifford KeeslerIt's an old kit, but still looks nice. I think it has raised panel lines, if it does it will be getting a Re-scribe. LOL.

Germen Vthere he goes for the next one, Hey Cliff you're going Mach 2 with your hair on fire, LOL honestly how many time do you spend at your bench daily?

Clifford KeeslerYes it has raised panel lines, but looking at pictures of the real thing, the panel lines are not that evedient, so think I will just black base it and leave it as it is. Going to do the "Desert camo version". @ Germen I usually spend between 4-6 hrs at the bench, sometimes longer, depends on the "Honey do list". LOL.

Clifford KeeslerThank you. I hope you get some building time in. I painted the F-5 yesterday, so waiting for all to dry, then weathering.

Holger KranichI really managed to build a bit, yesterday. I painted the intake trunks of the F-14. But it became a mess. My XF-2 became brittle and i have to paint it again. The jar is very old, maybe the paint is no more in good condition...

Clifford Keesler@ Holger, yes paint can get to old and go bad. Augs I will get some WIP pictures up soon. I tried your suggestion for raised panel lines, priming the model black, then lightly sanding the panel lines after painting. I rather like the results.

Clifford KeeslerThank you all very much.@ Michael, when that is all you basically do, it seems like it doesen't long. It took about 3 wks. LOL.

Holger KranichCool Project Clifford!!! Have you erased the panellines or have you leaved them untouched? The camo is splendid!

Michael Hickey@Cliffy, I don't often leave the house and modeling is all I have to do but I do more procrastinating then modeling. A lot of the time it is very hard to get going.🙁

Michael HickeyYes... it is that horrible thing that stops me from getting on with more modeling.🤔

Clifford KeeslerThank you all for your kind words. @Holger, the panel lines are still there, they are just very fine. I tried a method that Augie told me about. I primed the bird in black and then after painting I took some 1200 grit sandpaper and lightly sanded the panel lines, which brought them out. They are very pronounced on the belly, the top doesn't have that many. I guess they don't show up very well in the pictures, but you can see them quite well on the actual model. I too sometimes have a hard time getting motivated Michael. I have another "stealth" build going, and I have not touched it in a month. I put the Tamiya panel line wash on the wings, and it is still there, haven't taken it off. Hope it comes off.
