I was forwarded an email from Hobbymaster that stated the reason for the inked panel lines is most collectors prefer their planes that way.. Kinda seems to me that it is the other way around, so I would like to know what everyone thinks..
Simple question, and only 2 options "Yes" or "No"

Didn't we already hash this out several months ago?

Whoa, it's a dead heat! No Panel Lines is the odds-on favorite, but coming 'round the first turn Panel Lines and No Panel Lines are running neck and neck! What an exciting day here at Model Hangar Fields!

Ah'm a go fix myself a mint julep and watch the race. I might follow that up by watchin' paint dry, ayuh... Ahh, life in the slow lane.

No panel lines for me, the outlines are enough.

There's a photo comparison of the Harvard on the UK forum. The German one with panel lines and the UK Quintiq one without. Both in a yellow scheme and the difference is striking.. My money goes on the UK one.

[DCRanger]

I'll second that.

Depends. The inked Hellcat and Avenger look much better than thier cousins from Corgi without the ink and wash.

Factory Fresh colours lasts only so long. I prefer my military planes to look like they've seen some military action. though not overboard ofcourse but so long as its not clean like its just been sitting there doing nothing the whole time

Maybe this is too "black and white" of a question so to speak. I actually do like subdued inked panel lines. Even though you may not really see the lines as such on an actual aircraft, they do somehow enhance the dimensionality of a model..Even pro scale plastic model builders use this technique. But the key word is "subdued", and I'm talking heavy on the light here. The problem is, most manufacturers haven't quite seemed to have grasped the concept yet.

So if it has to be a simple "yes" or "no", I'm going with "no"

UK Harvard looks much better to me.
I vote no inked lines.
