    A fine-line sharpie is a great beginner’s tool for panel lining! It’s a very basic trick to really make a kit pop and a great starting point for going beyond a straight build. They have dedicated paints and markers for this but a fine-line sharpie works. Go over the details engraved into the parts with it, and wipe away excess with some rubbing alcohol on a towel.

    Good luck!
