I need some advice.

Be Careful! While putting on panel lines, I accidentally broke off the horizintal stab, and, so far, I've broken off both main gear struts. I'm very clumsy.

Does anyone have any good tips to highlight raised panel lines?

You might be barking up the wrong tree as most of us here are not plastics experts. You're not thw only person with this problem, check out what google turned up.

Thanks, Steve, I realize that most of the guys model in balsa but I thought that I would try it. I know Poppy dabbles in plastic occasionally. I've tried Swanny's and I don't have the supplies to do it his way, and I'm waiting for my approval at the Google site you recommended. Thanks.

I bet Poppy could make a few suggestions, but he's often only around on the weekends. It's just that here you are drawing from a much smaller pool of knowledge on the topic so your odds of a quality reply are low. But you never know, there are some smart cookies around here. :-)

Off the top of my head, if you wanted to high light something raised, try a material that would be a hard stiff paint roller. Maybe a large marker. If it is hard enough it should only mark the crown. I know nothing about plastic...gave them up 50 yrs ago.

I've tried a large sharpie, but since some of the lines are not raised as much as others, it was messy. And the sharpie is too harsh. I want it more subdued.Since I've already decaled it, spraying it with a light coat of grey, will subdue the decals, also. I think I made a mistake in decaling it too soon.
