I think i finally managed to acheive the effect i was after. The idea of panel lines is to pre shade the lines with black paint before you use the main color. This will have the effect of giving the wing a bit of depth and shadow.
You can see a bit of over spill of Black paint on the tail rudder, that is all you need to give it a bit of depth. Think i did okay. Now i have to wash it.

So the next step was to tone the yellow down a bit as it is too bright so you use a thing called a wash. It is just turps with a bit of artist black paint and you slap it on and leave it to dry, then you rub it off with a cotton bud and when your finished all it leaves it with a used look and not so bright.
