That’s nowhere near as difficult as it may seem. On the real thing the black lines were hand-painted too, so they were’t perfectly even either. (In other words: modellers sometimes try to be too perfect, IMHO ) Just practice a little to try and get lines that are reasonably evenly wide, and you should do okay.have a go at ruining the what looks like a complex paint job, especially the black demarcation lines??
Hi Steve, hope you are ok?Morning Bob
Looks like a fun like motivator and Andy's You Tube build & paint was really cool to watch
Go on, you can do it and take the mojo boost back to Stug production
Have fun and take care
regards

You can also easily retouch the bits where you painted the lines too wide: just make them thinner by adding a little of the camouflage colour to one side.Thanks Jakko and Ron. It can only go wrong, bought a crate of paint stripper

I was talking about if you make a mistake or want to correct a line you feel is too wide — can’t do that the way you suggest, because the black lines aren’t on the model yet
In any case: it’s a tank, it gets both dirty and repainted at times. Some colour differences make it more realistic
No. I gave the advice to paint the black lines after the rest of the camo, just like you did, and then added that they can be easily touched up if they happen to end up too wide or uneven in places — because that seemed to be Bob’s main concern: getting the black lines to look right. I got the impression your reply to my post was that you thought I was talking about doing the black first, making the lines too wide on purpose, and then painting the rest of the camouflage to leave the lines between the other colours....as usual, you are right and other contributors are wrong
