What’s in this collection

This collection focuses on AMMO’s specialized panel line wash range, designed specifically for precision work rather than broad weathering. Each color is tuned to match real-world materials and finishes, making it easier to choose the right shade for your subject.

  • Individual panel line wash colors covering greys, blacks, browns, blues, and earth tones.
    These options let you match light aircraft panels, dark mechanical joints, or dusty vehicle surfaces with accuracy.
  • Panel line wash sets curated for specific subjects such as aircraft, armor, and modern vehicles.
    These sets save time by grouping the most useful tones for a given modeling genre.
  • Formulations optimized for capillary action.
    The wash flows naturally into engraved lines, rivets, and recesses without flooding surrounding areas.
  • Enamel-based chemistry designed for control and cleanup.
    Excess wash can be removed easily, leaving sharp definition exactly where you want it.

Benefits, uses, and practical tips

Using a panel line wash is one of the fastest ways to add depth and realism to a model. Instead of relying on heavy shading or post-paint highlighting, panel line washes emphasize detail while preserving your base colors.

A common and effective approach is to apply the wash over a glossy or satin clear coat. This allows the wash to travel cleanly through panel lines and makes cleanup easier. After application, let the wash settle for a few minutes, then gently remove excess with a lightly dampened brush or cotton swab, always working perpendicular to the panel lines to avoid pulling pigment out of the recesses.

  • For aircraft models, lighter greys and subtle blues work well on modern jets, while darker browns and blacks suit older or heavily used airframes.
  • On armor and vehicles, earthy browns and dark greys add weight and realism to weld seams, bolts, and panel edges.
  • For sci-fi and mechanical builds, high-contrast tones help separate panels and give a more engineered, layered appearance.

Because AMMO panel line washes are designed to stay workable, you can adjust intensity gradually. This makes them ideal both for beginners learning wash control and for experienced modelers who want repeatable, clean results across multiple builds.

Designed for clean detail without guesswork

This collection is perfect if your goal is sharp definition rather than heavy weathering. By choosing a dedicated panel line wash, you avoid the trial-and-error of thinning regular washes or paints and get predictable behavior every time. Whether you are finishing a contest model or working through a large project lineup, these products help you maintain consistency and speed.

If clean panel definition and professional-looking results matter to you, AMMO panel line wash products are a reliable choice that belongs in every serious modeler’s toolkit.
