Alfa Romeo 155 V6 DTM Tamiya 1/24

Another masterclass by to-mek! Did you deepen the panel lines with a scriber? Used black wash there? Somehow they caught my attention by how realistic they look.

Of course, I always deepen panel lines with scriber and micro saw. Panel wash is made with very dark base color, I use Revell enamels as they are available locally and easy to wipe off without risk to damage the clearcoat.



I use 2K clearcoat and it can be easily applied too thick so I had some situations in past where panel lines were lost.

My current approach is to:
- rescribe panel lines after all primer coats are done
- apply base coat
- apply thin clear gloss coat only on parts of the body where I have to apply the decals
- apply 2K clearcoat over the top of the decals
- sanding and polishing
- panel wash



Scribing after the primer and local gloss coat under the decals helped me to preserve the panel lines on this model.
