Product overview
Vallejo Black Wash FX 76.518 is a water-based acrylic wash for ultra-dark shading and concentrated pin washes in the deepest recesses of a model. Its high-capillarity formula follows panel lines and collects around small surface details, increasing contrast without behaving like a standard covering paint. The 35 ml wash dries to a matt finish and can also be spread more broadly to modify an underlying colour.
- Apply by brush or airbrush.
- Drying time is approximately 20 minutes.
- Painting tools can be cleaned with water.
- The formula is non-flammable and contains no solvents.
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.
