View · Overview

Product overview

The 35 ml AK301 Dark Wash for Wood Decks is a Naval Series enamel wash that emphasises planking and fittings on wooden ship decks. It can also be used on other wooden subjects. Before application, paint the deck in its base colour and cover it with a satin or gloss varnish; the smoother surface helps the wash enter the divisions between planks.

  • Shake well, then brush the wash across the deck so it reaches the recessed detail.
  • Use AK011 White Spirit to remove excess while retaining darker areas beside structural edges and gun positions.
  • White Spirit or Odourless Turpentine may be used to dissolve and adjust the enamel.

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.
