Vallejo Olive Green Model Wash

For armor, vehicles, planes, ships, figures, and war game figures, all surfaces exposed to sun, wind, dust, rain, and snow experience changes in color, a loss of intensity, and a dulling and general fading that is not even or overall. These changes in color are very difficult for model painters to reproduce and achieve on a model. Washes or filters are the perfect solution to create these effects.

Washes are always needed to blend the edges of colors on a model painted in various camouflage shades. The colors can be mixed together to achieve further variations of shade and can be used with an airbrush or brush, depending on the model and the desired effect.

Model Wash can be mixed with pigments to achieve a wide range of effects, such as oil and flaked rust, mud, earth, dust, moss, etc. When mixed with acrylic colors, they further help achieve the impact of heavy wear and weathering.

The washes have been formulated with a modified acrylic resin, so the superficial tension is similar to that of traditional solvent-based washes and filters, but with the advantage of working with a water-based medium. The average drying time is around 20 minutes, and if several layers of wash are to be applied, it is best to wait around 40 minutes between applications. Painting tools are cleaned with water.

This pre-formulated water-based acrylic wash comes in a 35ml plastic bottle with a screw top and built-in dropper nozzle and flip-top lid. It is specifically designed for olive and green model vehicles.

The ability to recreate the effects of weathering and wear on models is a crucial aspect of the hobby, and this water-based acrylic wash provides an effective and user-friendly solution. The modified resin formulation and water-based medium offer the benefits of traditional solvent-based washes while providing a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative. The versatility of the product, allowing for the creation of a wide range of weathering effects, makes it a valuable tool in the arsenal of any model painter.
