Acrylic Washes (15ml)
Washes are one of the oldest and most essential techniques in railway modeling. It consists of emphasizing the recessed details typically by using a diluted dark color. The grooves, angles, panel lines, and edges of raised elements present excellent opportunities to add the dirt and shadows with effects such as rust, grime, and dust which also tend to accumulate in these areas.
RAIL CENTER new acrylic washes have been designed to be applied directly to the model, eliminating the need to experiment with the correct dilution rate.

The RAIL CENTER acrylic washes are very easy to apply. Use a fine-tipped round brush, or preferably a liner brush of appropriate size for the model. Shake the bottle and lightly dip the brush into the wash. Then spread the wash along the grooves, panel lines, and around the raised details. Let the wash dry to the touch which typically takes about 5 to 10 minutes. You can then wipe off the excess with a touchup sponge, a clean cloth, or a brush lightly dipped in water. Make sure the surface is satin or glossy, not matte, so that the wash will spread and flow properly and will be easy to remove any excess.
