On the Spit pic, I see that even though it looks very scruffy, the "black panel lines" are limited to the slipstream of the exhaust and no streaks behind the guns. The other things that need some shading are the flaps and ailerons. That is going to be my next hurdle and since I can't move my arm much, I've been watching a LOT of youtube model vids.

The black panel lines that you are seeing in the exhaust area are shadows from the armour plate covering the fuel tank. This plate stood proud of the surrounding sheet metal but not much. It may indeed be accentuated by exhaust stains.

Smoke stains behind the guns are often exaggerated by modelers (me included) and I've been telling myself to tone it down on recent builds.
