I'll be using the same technique to achieve panel lines and fasteners that we use on the scale aircraft we do.
As you can see in the full scale P51 mustang photos the panel lines are very clean and sharp as are the fasteners. One of the top scale modelers I met once said "The details shouldn't jump out at you" With our metal plating process I can achieve a raise panel simply by using a thermal mask to mask out the raised panel then re-plate that's area!!
I'll be posting lots of photos as thing progress.
Here's a 1/5 scale F-86 that we added the panel lines and fasteners as I described.
