Vallejo Oiled Earth Model Wash, VJ76521, 1.18 Fl Oz

Model Wash is the perfect solution for achieving realistic effects on armor, vehicles, planes, ships, figures, and war game figures. Exposed surfaces, subject to sun, wind, dust, rain, and snow, undergo a change in color, a loss of intensity, and a general fading, which is not uniform. Model painters find it challenging to reproduce these color changes, making washes and filters essential for achieving these effects. Washes are particularly necessary for blending the edges of colors on models painted in various camouflage shades. This versatile product allows colors to be mixed together to achieve a variety of shades, and can be applied with an airbrush or brush to achieve different desired effects.

Model Wash can also be mixed with pigments to create effects such as rust, mud, dust, and moss, and when combined with acrylic colors, it helps to achieve the appearance of heavy wear and weathering. The wash is made with a modified acrylic resin to ensure that the superficial tension is similar to traditional solvent-based washes, with the added benefit of being water-based. It has an average drying time of around 20 minutes, and if multiple layers are to be applied, it is best to wait approximately 40 minutes between applications. Additionally, painting tools can be easily cleaned with water, making the process more convenient.

This pre-formulated water-based acrylic wash comes in a 35ml plastic bottle with a screw top, built-in dropper nozzle, and flip-top lid, making it convenient to use. It is specifically designed for all types of armor and is packaged in dimensions of 1.375" L x 1.375" W x 2.875" H. With its versatility and ease of use, Model Wash is an essential product for model painters looking to achieve realistic and authentic effects on their models.
