Product overview

AK024 Dark Streaking Grime is the darkest 35 ml enamel streaking colour in this AK range. It is intended for dark vehicles and surfaces, including Panzer Grey, deep green and black finishes. The enamel can also introduce tonal variation beyond distinct downward marks, placing it at the dark end of the streaking range.

  • Shake thoroughly before applying irregular marks with a narrow, pointed brush.
  • Begin near the top of a panel and carry each dark streak down the surface.
  • Wait about 10 minutes, then use a flat brush moistened with White Spirit.
  • Blend with light pressure until the edges and intensity suit the model.

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.
