Vallejo Model Wash 76514 Dark Brown Wash (35ml)

Vallejo Wash FX 76514 Dark Brown (35 ml) is a Vallejo Wash FX acrylic wash in a dark brown shade. It helps quickly add depth to details, highlight panel lines, and create natural shadows and weathering effects.

Apply the wash to panel lines, seams, and around raised details. Thanks to its capillary action, it will spread into recesses; remove excess with a clean, damp brush or cotton swab, depending on the desired intensity.

It is best to apply the wash in stages. A single thick layer often creates streaks, while multiple thinner layers allow for better control of contrast, dirt, and the resulting depth of detail. For a cleaner finish, it is advisable to protect the model with a satin or gloss varnish before applying the wash.
