Promodeller Weathering Washes

The weathering wash is one of the easiest ways to create the best looking panel lines on vehicles/aircraft and weathering in no time and can also be used on figures as part of a weathering process. It is simple to use and can be completed in three easy steps, It is recommended that the model is varnished/sealed prior to the wash being used, the type of varnish used will determine the effect of the wash, a gloss varnish means that the wash will remain in any panel lines when when wiped whereas a satin or matt varnish with leave you with a more grungy/dirty appearance.

1. Brush or airbrush it onto the model. Make sure the surface you will be using it on is completely dry before applying the wash as if it is not, the wash might work into the paint itself and you will not be able to remove it.  
   
2. Let it dry (up to 20mins, or a hairdryer on a low setting can be used to speed up drying time). It doesn't matter how long you leave the wash on for it will not effect the paint work.
3. Wipe it off with some damp kitchen roll, cotton bud (que tip) or a damp cloth. Lightly rubbing with a dry cloth will leave more of the wash behind to give a dirtier appearance.
   

It's that simple, it also does so much more. It can be used anywhere on a model from cockpits to wheel wells, engines to weapons. It works just as well on tanks, ships and figures. The best bit is, if you don’t like it, just wash it off and start again. That simple.

The wash can be varnished/sealed on completion but remember that any wash left on the model will show up darker.

The wash comes in seven colours, Dark dirt, Light Dirt, Black, Mud Brown, Rust, Sand and Concrete. All the colours can be mixed into any shade or colour you need. Supplied in 50ml bottles.
