Hi all.
Advise please.
When doing a night fighter with black undersides or an all black finish how do you treat the panel lines etc?
I realise the answer will probably be obvious...
Many thanks in advance

Ignore 'em. In scale, they aren't going to show up anyway. Look at a black car across the street. How much of the trunk/hood/door seams can you really see?
Alternatively, you could use very slightly lighter shades along the lines.
Or you could use a slightly different level of sheen.
Tint the main color with a hint of blue and use straight black for the panels or vice versa.
