Product overview

Rolling Stock Weathering Set (Train Series) is a three-jar blister of AK's 35 ml weathering products. One jar is an enamel wash — Exhaust Wash — and two are ultrafine modelling pigments, Dark Steel and Dark Rust, usable dry or mixed with pigment fixer or white spirit for wet application. One thing to note: AK's own text describes this set as being for train tracks — weathering track and trackside on models and dioramas for an overall effect of realism — while the set itself is named Rolling Stock. Both are AK's words, and the name stays as printed on the blister.

Set contains (3 × 35 ml): AK2040 Exhaust Wash, AK086 Dark Steel (pigment) and AK2042 Dark Rust (pigment)
One enamel wash plus two ultrafine modelling pigments; AK's instruction is to apply its pigments dry, or "Mix them with Pigment Fixer or White Spirit to apply them wet."
AK's text describes the set as for train tracks and trackside weathering across models and dioramas; the set is named Rolling Stock — both statements are AK's own
All three jars are stocked by us separately as singles

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.
