Hurricane panel lines?

[Sturm_Williger]

Looking really closely at the pic that Richie linked in the other thread, you can make out the faintest of shadow lines that correspond to the "panel lines" you mention.

Also the wip pic of the Hurricane parked by the hanger, you can actually see that the central line IS a panel line and the others are more shadowed. So I'm inclined to agree with Feathered that it is heavy handed skinning.
