For model enthusiasts wanting to add depth and realism, Tamiya 87189 Panel Line Accent Color in Light Gray is a practical enamel option. The formula comes pre-diluted for correct flow and the fine brush integrated into the cap makes it straightforward to lay paint into recessed panel lines. The 40ml bottle gives enough product for multiple small to medium projects.
The Light Gray shade is well suited to white or pale parts where black highlights would be too strong. Apply along seams and panel lines and let capillary action pull the paint into recesses to emphasise detail. After the paint dries, remove any excess using enamel thinner for a neat finish.
Take care when using Panel Line Accent Colors on delicate or movable parts, as the enamel can make some plastics more brittle. For reliable results use over a lacquer or acrylic base coat and first test on a spare piece to confirm compatibility. Note that on flat base coats the accent paint may be absorbed more readily.
