Product overview

AK066 is an enamel wash made for the Afrika Korps and other light-coloured desert vehicles. Brushed into the details of a model, it deepens shadow and brings out relief as part of a weathering job, and the surplus is wiped back once it has settled. Like the rest of this line it is a single-scheme wash, formulated for a specific paint colour rather than as a catch-all.

Designed for German DAK tanks painted in light sand colours.
Also suits other light-coloured desert vehicles, not dark or green schemes.
An enamel product: remove the excess with a clean brush and Enamel Thinner, not water.

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.
