Tanks Fine detail painting

Could anyone advise me on how to get a black lined fine detailing on a model tank, to show detail that normal spraying or painting would not normally show. I have attached 3 pictures (I hope) to show what I mean.
At first I was told that the dark lines were just a lighting effect used to show the tanks at there best. But, you can see on the photo's that it is paint. espeacially when I have enlarged them.
Could it be a black (x-1) flat black (XF-1). semi gloss (X-18). or smoke(X-19) thinned down and sprayed over the tank, and at what ratio? as anyone heard of or tried anything like this themselves? This is the only way I can think of getting this effect?
I would be grateful of any help
