Since we just talked about edge coloring in Chris's thread overwhelming him with massive amount of information:
AOE P-51B Lambie II Dual build - on hold
I decided to transcribe some of my knowledge of that matter into this thread, hopping that it will help Chris and others to build better looking models. What eventually will make us look better in the eyes of pros, specially now when we became a part of the IPMS/USA. I'm still learning too, so I'm also open for now good ideas.
Let me start by interjecting my observation. I have noticed unnecessary practice of edge coloring on some of your models in the places where you don't really need it at all. I'm talking about situation where you're glueing edge to edge. If you cut the edges correctly and join them correctly, you will not need any coloring.
Painting those edges, especially if you don't match the color perfectly will only make the seams more visible.
Sorry for my grammar, when I'm rushing my grammar suffers.
Regards!
