Product overview

Odourless and acrylic, AK089 Heavy Chipping is the 35 ml fluid for creating broad, irregular paint loss. Apply it over the base colour that should remain visible, then add the outer acrylic colour once the fluid has dried. When the top coat is dry to the touch, wet the area with water and disturb it with a stiff brush, toothpick, needle or tweezers. The upper paint releases in larger chips and scratches, exposing the layer underneath for worn or heavily damaged finishes.

  • Can be applied by brush or airbrush
  • Provides a dedicated chipping layer without using hairspray
  • AK classifies it as an auxiliary, chipping and weathering product
  • Supplied as a single bottle

Notes · Q & A

What is a model wash and when would I use one?

A wash is a very thin, highly pigmented acrylic fluid that flows into recessed detail by capillary action. Apply it over a sealed base coat to add shading around panel lines, rivets and surface texture, or use it as a full-surface filter to shift the overall tone of the model.

Do I need to seal the surface before applying a wash?

A smooth, sealed surface gives the wash a consistent flow and makes cleanup easier. A coat of gloss or satin varnish before the wash prevents it from staining a matt base coat unevenly.

How do I apply a wash and clean up the excess?

Load a soft brush and touch it to the area you want to shade; the wash will flow into the recesses on its own. After roughly 20 minutes of drying time, wipe away any unwanted residue from raised surfaces with a clean, slightly damp brush or cotton bud. These washes are water-based, so tools clean with water.

Can I apply a wash with an airbrush?

Yes. The manufacturer confirms these washes can be applied by brush or airbrush. A light, even pass with an airbrush works well as an overall filter to unify the tone of a model or add a subtle colour shift across a large surface.
