Product overview

Built for dry European-weathering work, AK015 Dust Effects is a 35 ml enamel liquid for laying pale dust over a vehicle’s running gear and lower surfaces. It can be kept as a thin, blended layer or given more physical body by mixing it with plaster. The result is suited to dust on wheels, tracks and hull areas rather than wet mud or general earth staining.

  • Apply with a brush or airbrush, depending on the coverage required.
  • Target wheels, tracks and the lower hull where road dust collects.
  • Feather the application with a wide flat brush dampened with AK011 White Spirit.
  • Combine with plaster when a raised, more substantial deposit is needed.

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.
