View · Overview

Product overview

Heat, leaks and fluid spills leave their evidence around aircraft engines, particularly on propeller-driven subjects. AK2033 supplies 35 ml of enamel wash for reproducing that accumulated dirt in engine and turbine recesses. Its fluid format is suited to crevices and layered work, letting the modeller build the effect over more than one application where surrounding detail needs additional depth.

  • The bottle carries the Air Series and enamel-product markings.
  • Use a medium brush to introduce the wash into crevices.
  • Further layers may be applied when drying time is allowed between them.

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.
