I'm assuming you mean these vertical lines?
If so then it's Mig pigments mixed with white spirit and painted on with a fine brush. I'll scrub these down a bit to stop them appearing so stark.

| | Scale Model Member | OHHhh!......them, God it's so obviouse now!
They are 3 dimentional tranfers, yes, THREE DEE!! They come from Archer fine transfers under thier surface details range and are a good way of adding the missing weld beads. You use them in the same way you would any decals. They are quite expensive but i managed to get away with using only one sheet. Have a look here ARCHER AR88005
You might like to do a quick Google on them as there are sites showing them applied and weathered.
Hope this helps,

Glenn | Hello Gents,[update on U-249] -- Progress on the sub is coming right along. I've added some new details -- kind of a "finding waldo" kind of a thing. I've added the hand rails with the safety cables and the stern and bridge flagpoles; the ship's horns on the stern of the main gun deck, I've added the electrical conduits. I've added the electrical outlet on the front of the bridge, and I decided to cut out the plastic on the navigation lights stern and primary gun deck hand railing scratch built out of plexigalss. The boat is about 90%, and then I'll begin the heavy painting and weathering. Glenn | |

| | Scale Model Member | Wow,
This is looking really good Glenn, a very clean build which ain't easy with some of the PE you are using. Keep the pic's coming.
I'm back to working on U-69 after running out of steam for a while!! Will post some updates when something interesting is completed!
