thanks XYZ. I'll give the wipe distance a go.
Moving the scar is useful but unfortunately I don't have any corners on these models.
Coasting's handy but I find it creates discolouring which draws the eye, although it is a time saver on prints that are finished properly.
Do you know if there's any advantage to separating where the layer starts and seam alignment? They are two options now.

In the later versions of Cura under the Shell settings there is Outer Wall Wipe Distance. By default the setting is 0.2mm. It's purpose is to attempt to better hide the Z scar. In practice, I find in many cases it's better set to 0mm, as the default 0.2mm tends to make the scar wider.
Also, you can explore the Experimental section of the settings menu and enable Coasting.
Have you tried locating the Z scar at a specific location? This is also found under the Shell settings as Z seam Alignment. I find putting the Z scar in the corner of a part, or along a sharp radius, helps hide it quite well.
