View · Overview

Product overview

During World War II some armies used improvised paints to camouflage vehicles on some fronts, as in North Africa and the Eastern Front. These colors were made by mixing local earth with a binder such as oil, gasoline and other products for application on vehicles. These paints tended to wear rapidly due to its poor quality and gave the car a very characteristic appearance. Rain or use of the vehicle was eroding and wearing this paint progressively. That color is represented with this product and produces exactly the same effects as the real color and may gradually wear it with a brush and water to represent the effects of vehicles of that era. Use this color to camouflage the German Army in Africa (DAK) or German "Early" vehicles in central Europe or Russian. This product is acrylic and is formulated for maximum performance both with brush or airbrush. Water soluble, odorless and non-toxic. Shake well before each use. Each jar includes a stainless steel agitator to facilitate mixture. We recommend A.MIG -2000 Acrylic Thinner for a correct thinning. 

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.
