Panel Line Wash

Panel Line Wash: Enamel Washes Designed for Aircraft

What’s in this collection

AMMO by Mig Jiménez created the Panel Line Wash line specifically to deliver smooth shading and precise definition on aircraft models. These ready-to-use enamel products flow effortlessly into recessed details, enhancing panel lines, rivets, and hatches with subtle tonal variation. The range includes classics like Black Night, Deep Grey, Neutral Brown, Blue Black, Dust, and Light Grey, along with shades adapted for specific schemes such as “for Sand Camo” or “for Black.” Complete sets are also available, curated to match common aircraft camouflage patterns.

Why Panel Line Wash is different

Unlike general enamel washes, which are heavier and designed for wide surfaces, Panel Line Wash was developed with a finer pigment and a thinner consistency. This gives it exceptional capillarity, making it ideal for the fine engravings on scale aircraft. The result is subtle shading that accentuates detail without overpowering the paint job. While its main design target is airplanes, modelers also use it successfully on tanks, sci-fi builds, ships, and trains where delicate weathering is required.

Benefits, techniques, and tips

  • Aircraft focus: Perfect for panel lines, rivets, and control surfaces on jets, props, and helicopters.

  • Easy cleanup: Apply directly with a fine brush and remove excess with AMMO Enamel Thinner (A.MIG-2018).

  • Subtle results: Designed to achieve natural contrast without harsh edges, especially effective on gloss or satin varnish.

  • Versatility: Beyond aircraft, try it on armor, ships, and mecha to achieve understated but realistic effects.

  • Workable formula: Slower drying time lets you blend or streak as needed, while still curing hard enough to seal with varnish.
