Tamiya Panel line accents

Post by chops1sc »

I picked this set up from Amazon hoping to help me with my pin wash woes. Anyone have experience with them yet?

I've used the black. Works great. I think the two build threads linked in my signature show some examples, especially the Hurricane build.

I need to get the brown one for " dirty work"
They work fine, best if not on flat paint as will soak in too much and impossible to remove just like other weathering

I have the black and the grey

The black works great.

The grey I have found quite difficult to clean off properly if you get a little sloppy with the application

I bought them all after buying the Brown. What they are really good at is capillary action, they flow beautifully which is what you want for panel lines. However apart from the Brown I was disappointed in the others, the only word I can think of to describe them is weak. Once dry they become extremely washed out, hardly visible.

Did you try a second application?

Thanks for the replies everyone!
