Okay, so I am wrestling with this stupid yellow tail on my P-51D. I was looking at other skins to see how they treat panel lines within painted areas, particularly yellow. Some skinners use black/gray and others use a darker version of the base color. Is there a "right" way?
With red and blue I use a darker shade of the same color. With white I use a light gray. Is this the best method?

What I do is make a layer for panel lines using pure black. I then adjust the opacity of the layer to about 7-8%. This has the effect of making the panel lines look like a darker version of the base paint color. I also make a separate layer for panel lines of access hatches and control surfaces. That layer is faded also to about 8-10% and placed over the normal panel line layer.

I did this with my rudder fabric ribbing. Worked well. I will give it a shot. Thank you. :salute
