Brown Panel Liner 40 ml

Green Stuff World Panel Liner in the color brown is a high-flow weathering paint designed to bring out panel lines, seams, hatches, rivets, and mechanical details on scale models and miniatures. Its brown tone lets you create warm shadows and localized grime on military vehicles, aircraft, trains, robots, and terrain, combining panel lining with other weathering techniques.

Over sand, beige, yellow, ochre, and orange base colors, brown offers an alternative to the strong contrast of black. It helps separate individual parts and adds depth to details while complementing the warmer tones of the paint scheme. Keep the color concentrated in the recesses for crisp panel definition, or blend it slightly into the surrounding surfaces for a more weathered finish.

It is particularly well suited to tanks in desert camouflage, sand-colored armored vehicles, and khaki military trucks. Brown also works well with green and brown camouflage schemes when you want the panel shading to tie in with dirt and grime. On aircraft, it is useful for highlighting access hatches and panel lines over earthy camouflage colors, keeping the contrast subtle enough to suit smaller scales.

Its white spirit-based formulation allows the color to flow through engraved details by capillary action. Simply touch the tip of a fine brush, loaded with a small amount of paint, to a recess and let the liner travel along it. Work in sections, adding small amounts where needed without flooding the part.

Satin or gloss surfaces help the paint flow and spread more easily, while also making it easier to remove excess paint afterward with a cotton swab. For an even result, apply the panel liner to a clean surface and allow any underlying paint or varnish layers to cure completely first.

The extended working time allows you to refine the finish with a brush lightly dampened with pure white spirit, provided it is compatible with the surface underneath. You can remove stray marks, soften a shadow, or draw out small amounts of color to create subtle streaks. Around bolts, engine covers, and grilles, this technique helps blend the panel shading into the vehicle’s overall weathering.

For panel lining on Gunpla and other mecha kits, brown works especially well on yellow, orange, cream, or beige armor, as well as custom builds with desert camouflage schemes. It is also a good choice for miniatures with warm-colored armor when you want softer separation between parts than black would provide.

Once the paint is dry and fully cured, you can protect the finish with a compatible acrylic varnish, checking the result on a test area first. Avoid allowing paint or cleaner to collect in joints, press-fit connections, or parts under mechanical stress. Before applying it to bare plastic, ABS, or an unfamiliar finish, test compatibility on a spare piece.
