Washes for Scale Modeling

Bring your models to life with our wide range of washes for scale modeling, designed to add depth, contrast, and realistic weathering effects. Washes are essential for highlighting panel lines, creating shadows, and reproducing the natural wear of vehicles, figures, and scenery. Whether you work with miniatures, armor, dioramas, or trains, the right wash can transform a flat paint job into a detailed masterpiece.

What’s in This Collection

This collection features top brands trusted by modelers worldwide. AMMO by MIG Jimenez offers one of the largest selections, with both enamel washes and acrylic panel line washes in colors like rust, dust, dark brown, and black. The Rail Center line provides enamel washes tailored to railway modeling, ideal for wood textures, metal weathering, and industrial tones. For a different twist, Villainy Ink introduces intense enamel washes with unique fantasy-inspired colors. Finally, Monument Hobbies adds versatility with Pro Acryl Glaze & Wash Medium, perfect for custom dilution and mixing.

With more than 70 products, you can find everything from light rust and track dirt to subtle greys, tans, and shadows. The diversity of formulas means you can choose the medium that best suits your workflow: acrylics for quick-drying precision or enamels for longer working times and blending.

Benefits, Tips & Uses

Using washes correctly enhances the realism of any build. Apply enamel washes over a glossy coat for easy cleanup, or use acrylic washes for faster results and sharper panel lines. Colors like Light Rust or Dark Wash are perfect for vehicles, while neutral greys and browns excel on miniatures and figures. Mix and match products to build layers of weathering, simulating dirt, grease, or battle damage.

Tip: Always seal your base paint with a clear coat before applying washes—this prevents damage and allows better control when removing excess. And for maximum effect, combine washes with filters and pigments from the same brands.
