AMMO Washes for Scale Modelers

AMMO washes give modelers the perfect balance of control, realism, and ease of use. This collection brings together two complementary product families: acrylic washes designed to flow into recessed details, and washable tones that can be blended or reactivated with clean water. Together, these products allow you to add shading, dust, grime, and subtle transitions across your scale models without committing instantly to a permanent effect.

Because both product types are water-based, they are safe, low odor, and easy to clean from brushes and tools. Modelers use AMMO washes to enhance depth on armor, vehicles, tracks, buildings, figures, dioramas, and sci-fi surfaces. Whether you need sharp panel definition or soft dust blending, AMMO washes deliver consistent and reliable weathering results.

What’s in this collection

This collection includes the full range of AMMO acrylic washes and washable colors in tones crafted for realistic modeling effects.
• Acrylic washes for recessed lines, rivets, and textured surfaces
• Washable tones for dust, earth, mud, rust, and natural color buildup
• Neutral and dark washes for shadows, grime, and depth definition
• Water-based formulas that remain adjustable for a short period
• Bottles designed for controlled application by brush or airbrush

Because these tones are designed to work together, AMMO washes provide a unified system for creating believable environmental effects.

How to use AMMO washes

Acrylic washes behave like fluid shading products that naturally settle in recesses. Washable tones behave more like adjustable paints that can be softened, blended, or partially removed.
• Apply acrylic washes over satin or gloss surfaces for defined panel lines
• Use washable tones for broad dusting and faded color transitions
• Reactivate washable tones with clean water to blend or reduce intensity
• Layer different shades to simulate dirt buildup, operational wear, or natural weathering
• Combine washes with pigments or drybrush colors for advanced finishes

This flexible workflow makes AMMO washes suitable for both quick weekend projects and high-detail competition builds.

Ideal applications for modelers

AMMO washes are ideal for armor, aircraft, vehicles, trains, structures, wargaming minis, and diorama bases. Beginners enjoy their forgiving nature, while experienced builders appreciate the nuanced control they provide when refining shadows and weathering layers.
