Product overview

Positioned between the base colour and the final acrylic topcoat, AK088 Worn Effects is a 35 ml odourless acrylic fluid for controlled paint scratches and chipped wear. It replaces the hairspray stage of the technique: water later loosens selected areas of the touch-dry upper paint, exposing the colour prepared underneath.

  • Paint the model in the shade that should remain visible inside the damage.
  • Apply a generous layer of Worn Effects by brush or airbrush.
  • Cover it with acrylic paint and wait until that outer coat is touch-dry.
  • Dampen the area with water, then work scratches using tweezers, a toothpick or a brush.

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.
