Does anyone know any good products, possibly made by Ak or MIG, that can be used for panel lining. I had trouble panel lining a plane with my current products, which weren't so good at panel lining. the AK and MIG washes and products appeal to me, i had a look earlier but was overwhelmed by all the different products and their uses.

For Aircraft,I would recommend Flory Washes
http://www.florymodels.co.uk/washes/
If your talking armor,mix your own Burnt Umber or Raw Umber 90-10% with thinner over acrylic sealer or paint.

You can also make a sludge wash with acrylic paint (Vallejo) and Dawn dish soap. Not sure why dawn works better, but it really does (for me).
Base paint and gloss coat the aircraft (recessed panel lines?)
Mix 4-5 drops of Vallejo black grey with 2-3 drops of Dawn.
paint this mess over and into the panel lines and let dry.
Wipe away with a clean t-shirt.
I am not sure if there are youtube videos of this, but it works VERY well for me. Seems that most of the first hits for this involve sludge wash and pigments, but I am referring to using acrylic paint.

Take a look at Copic Multiliner pens.
Lots of fine sizes, several colors, and they cost less than $3US each.
