View · Overview
Product overview
Aircraft exhausts and engine detail are the specific targets for AK2040, a 35 ml Air Series enamel wash. Applied directly from the bottle, it creates depth around exhaust components and adjoining engine parts by settling into their recessed detail. The product is intended for focused use on these mechanical areas rather than as a general wash across the airframe.
- Shake the bottle thoroughly before application.
- Use a round brush to place the wash directly onto exhaust and engine details.
- Excess material can be removed with AK011 White Spirit.
- The label identifies the contents as an Air Series enamel product for scale models.
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.
