Product overview

Aircraft Landing Gear Weathering Set is a three-jar blister of AK's 35 ml enamel weathering products for aircraft landing gear — AK's card says the three products achieve realism in the landing gears of planes of all eras. Landing Gear Wash is indicated by AK for the darkest shades of metallic surfaces, such as jet engines and hydraulic suspensions of WWII or modern aircraft; Landing Gear Dust recreates natural dust effects on landing gear and tyres, blended with a clean brush moist with enamel thinner; and Wash for Shafts and Bearings works as a grease effect you can manipulate until dry. All three jars are enamels, stocked by us separately as singles.

Set contains (3 × 35 ml): AK2029 Landing Gear Wash, AK2031 Landing Gear Dust and AK2032 Wash for Shafts and Bearings
AK on the wash: indicated for the darkest shades of metallic surfaces — jet engines, hydraulic suspensions — on WWII or modern aircraft
AK on the grease jar: manipulate the grease effect until dry, and make small scratches with a stick before it completely dries

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.
