[COLOR=rgb(0,0,0)]I will trying my first post shading on a F-16. I have seen that I should use a slightly darker shade than base coat and have also seen that I should use a slightly lighter shade than base coat. Which is it? Or is it personal preference? I want this to be very subtle and not overdone. [/COLOR]

It all depends on weather or not you pre-shaded or not.
If you've pre-shaded then you would really only need to lighten the centre of the panels as the pre-shading should have left a darker colour over the panel lines.
But if you've not pre-shaded then a slightly darker colour of the base colour should be applied over the panel lines, and in my opinion you should also use a lighter shade of the base colour for the centre of the panels.
Thats how I would/ do it Stefan, others may say differently it's all down to a matter of taste. -
I should have mentioned in OP I have not pre-shadedComment

Like Ian says, a darker shade for the edge of panels etc, and a lighter shade for the centre. It doesn't matter which way you choose to do it.Comment
