I'm a long-time armor modeler who has lately begun to branch into modern aviation in between armor jobs and wrestling with the best approach to painting cockpit details. Can anyone recommend any references/links, etc. that would help with suggestions on painting the minute detail in this kits (dial,gauge faces, slightly raised panel lines, etc). I have tried applying paint via toothpicks, using fine-line markers, etc. May just take more practice, but I'm hoiping there is a short-cut that someone can recommend.

Thanks in advance.

I hope it helps

Hi Scy33!

For real instrument panel pictures I would recommend this site:

If you want some tips about making highly detailled aircraft interiors, check Pixilater's personal Website. I can assure you he is one of the best interior specialist I have ever seen!
