Product overview

AK305 Streaking Grime for Light Grey Ships is an enamel effect from AK's Naval Series, a 35 ml bottle for weathering pale grey hulls. It creates irregular vertical dirt trails beneath deck edges, drainage scuppers and other areas where grime begins to run. Similar grey aircraft and armoured vehicles are also listed uses, but the naval application gives the product its name and technique.

  • Start only when the painted surface is clean and fully dry.
  • Shake well, then draw fine streaks downwards from upper areas of the ship.
  • After about 10 minutes, soften them with a flat brush moistened in White Spirit and using little pressure.
  • On full-hull models, the marks may continue almost to the keel.

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.
