Product overview

AK014 Winter Streaking Grime is a light-grey 35 ml enamel effect intended for white, pale and winter-camouflaged vehicles. Its lighter tone creates dirt streaks on those finishes and can also add tonal variation across other model surfaces. The published themes focus on AFV and military subjects.

  • Agitate the bottle, then place uneven vertical lines with a fine pointed brush.
  • Allow roughly 10 minutes of drying time before refining the marks.
  • Draw a flat brush dampened with White Spirit over the streaks with gentle pressure.
  • Work from upper panel areas downwards to establish the direction of the grime.

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.
