View · Overview

Product overview

Rather than giving an entire model a uniform shine, AK079 Wet Effects Fluid is a 35 ml enamel product for placing moisture only where it belongs. The clear liquid dries glossy, representing rain marks, puddles, water streaks and damp patches. Its visible sheen varies with the colour and texture underneath, helping separate recently wet areas from the surrounding dry finish.

  • Apply locally to create damp patches, trails of water or collected moisture.
  • Suitable for AFVs, aircraft, naval subjects, dioramas and railway models.
  • Brightness varies according to the underlying surface and application.
  • Use it as a weathering effect rather than as an overall gloss varnish.

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.
