A precise wash in dark amber color.

Ideal for use on rivets and small details. The color is ideal for applying over greens, browns and various mid-range tones.

Wash is one of the basic finishing techniques that improves the final appearance of a model and gives it more realism.

It very quickly enhances the appearance and makes the model no longer look like a toy. The best use of washes is to match the parting lines of sheet metal and any protruding or concave details with them, and then wipe off the excess so as to create a border effect of edges and false shadows. In modeling, oil washes are most commonly used, and can be washed off and modulated with White Spirit or oil paint thinner without risking damage to previously applied paints. Washes are best applied on a model protected with acrylic glossy clearcoat, which improves their spreadability over the surface, and also makes it easier to rub off completely if you make a mistake or don't like the effect. In order to properly perform a wash on a model, use a color much darker than the base color the model is painted with.
