Does anyone have a good way to scribe panel lines? I’m currently working on a 1/72 A-10 and the panel lines are very fine and in some spots hardly noticable at all. In areas where I needed to sand they’re gone completely.
I knew when I started this plane I would want to rescribe the panel lines, but I just don’t want to go at it freehand. Obviously I can’t just take a ruler to it, so what’s a good way to rescribe straight panel lines?

Go to a store like Office Depot or maybe even Walmart and buy some of the Dymo tape that goes in those label makers.
Peel the backing off of a piece of it and stick it along the line you want to scribe and follow the edge of it with your scriber. It works very well.
