1/72 Revell Polikarpov 1-16

The only lines between panels that I can see are those panels near the wing roots. The rest of the wing is fabric covered so won't show any panel lines. Maybe around the engine cowling.

A classic build indeed John. I've seen / experienced this green plastic before. Yes, it was an ancient Revell kit.

Morning Colin, it may end up in the" green bin " . It seems so thin, already lost one of the guns and had to use brass to replace it. The prop has lost a one blade several times repeated regluing with ca. Determined now that it will be painted today !

Or maybe just make sure it knows who the boss is.

Nice one John, hope the new compressor is a joy to work with :thumb2: .

As for the panel-lines, like Tim said a pin wash for the raised or recessed lines or detail on the wings and fuselage.
Personally I prefer to apply a coat or two of gloss first, to easier clean and lighten the effect with a tissue or a flat brush, oils are my favourite but the Flory stuff has good reviews.

Have fun!

Ps, planes are kept in pretty good shape, only mud for the wheels:tongue-out3:
