Product overview

The 35 ml AK306 Salt Streaks for Ships is a Naval Series enamel effect for pale salt marks on vertical hull surfaces and horizontal areas reached by water. Its principal placement is around scuppers, where the product is drawn down the hull following the direction of flow. Salt can also collect near the lower hull beside the sea, giving this bottle a different purpose from brown dirt-grime effects.

  • Shake thoroughly and place irregular marks with a fine pointed brush.
  • Let the enamel dry for about 10 minutes before refining it.
  • Blend and soften with a flat brush dipped in AK011 White Spirit, following the water flow.
  • For a horizontal boundary, masking tape can provide a straight guide.

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.
