Product overview

AK637 Starship Streaking Grime is a 35 ml enamel weathering wash for drawing downward dirt traces across ships, robots and vehicles. The defining effect is directional: fine vertical marks suggest grime carried along a fuselage or outer panel rather than dirt collecting in one fixed recess. Apply isolated lines or small patches, then pull and soften them in the same direction.

Use a fine brush to control the starting points and lengths of the marks.
Blend each streak with another brush dampened in White Spirit AK011 or AK047.
Tools can also be cleaned with White Spirit after use.
The listed themes are fantasy, science-fiction and wargaming.

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.
