View · Overview

Product overview

Where fuel escapes around tanks and filler caps, AK2039 provides a ready-to-use enamel effect matched to kerosene's bluish staining. The 35 ml Air Series bottle is intended for building leaks in successive layers rather than treating them as a single opaque mark. Directional streaks can then follow the airflow across an aircraft surface, keeping the weathering tied to the path of the escaping fluid.

  • Work with a fine pointed brush to control placement.
  • Thinners may be added when laying down the first coat.
  • Once dry, a second layer can be applied with less thinner or none.
  • Use AK011 White Spirit when the completed streak needs softening.

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.
