Product overview

Brown Streaking Grime for Red Hulls is a 35 ml Naval Series enamel, a brown grime for the dirty vertical streaks that weep down a ship’s hull over red-primer paint. It works just as well on tank hulls and other military vehicles. Lay in a few uneven vertical lines with the point of a fine brush, give them roughly ten minutes, and then pull a clean flat brush, wetted with White Spirit, downwards through them until the streaks blur into grimy, run-down staining.

  • Naval Series enamel grime for vertical dirt streaks down red-primer ship hulls.
  • Also works on tank hulls and other military subjects.
  • Draw the vertical lines with a fine brush, wait about ten minutes, then blend them down using a flat brush wetted in White Spirit.

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.
