Molding lines....What are they ??

Seems to be a few who dont know what is meant be..."sanded the molding lines out". I know most of you do !!
They are small lines which are mostly over the front and rear bumpers of kits.
At times these molding lines can run up through the front window pillars, along the roof and back down the rear pillar. They can even carry along the tops of guards.
To remove them just sand out with some 600/800 grit paper at first, followed by 1000 grit then a final sand with 2000 grit paper to make it all nice and smooth

I hope this well help out

First 2 pics shows it on a GTR32 Skyline

This is a good example of older kits and how bad the lines can be.
