How to use

Apply the wash with a fine brush to areas where you want increased shadow and contrast, allowing capillary action to draw the pigment into recesses and panel lines. Work in thin layers and remove excess from raised surfaces with a damp brush or cotton swab while the wash is still wet to retain highlights. Allow adequate drying time between applications; drying time depends on layer thickness and environmental conditions. For reduced intensity, thin the wash with a small amount of water before application.

Usage recommendations

Test the wash on a spare part or hidden area before applying to a finished model. Use in a well-ventilated area and keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Store at moderate temperatures away from direct sunlight. For best results on military models, combine Military Shade with lighter base coatings and selective drybrushing to preserve texture and achieve natural-looking weathering.
