Product overview

Aircraft Engine Oil is a 35 ml enamel from AK's Air Series, mixed for oil effects on aircraft — where engine oil sits lighter in colour than the oil on ground vehicles. Use it straight from the bottle for fresh, wet-looking stains, or thin it with White Spirit for older, drier spills and leaks; heavily thinned, it reads as long-dried staining. It blends with AK's other enamel colours, and it also stands in for greasy spills like fuel or gasoline.

  • Enamel oil-effect colour for engine parts and other moving components on aircraft.
  • Neat for fresh stains; thinned with White Spirit for older, drier ones.
  • Suited to the splatter technique — flick paint from a loaded brush using airbrush airflow.
  • Diluted and blended with AK's White Spirit; mixes with the rest of the enamel range.

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.
