Acrylic Wash VALLEJO Ammo Brown Wash for Dark Yellow — 17 ml

VALLEJO Ammo Brown Wash for Dark Yellow is a 17 ml ready-to-use acrylic wash formulated to enhance panel lines, recesses and surface detail on models painted with Dark Yellow base coats. This water-based wash deposits brown shading and subtle weathering effects that increase perceived depth and realism on military models, vehicles and diorama elements. It is compatible with acrylic paints and designed to be applied directly from the bottle without further thinning for most common modelling techniques.

Advantages

This acrylic wash provides controlled brown shading that accentuates surface texture and recessed details. Its water-based formulation makes it easy to remove or adjust with water or an acrylic thinner before it fully dries, while once cured it remains permanent and durable. The 17 ml bottle and applicator tip allow precise placement of the wash along panel lines and in small areas. The product is formulated to work specifically over Dark Yellow base coats, producing natural-looking grime and tonal variation without strongly altering the underlying color when used as directed.

Suitable for

• Enhancing panel lines and recessed details on military vehicle models
• Adding grime and weathering to infantry and scale miniatures

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use. Apply the wash directly from the applicator tip into panel lines, recesses and areas requiring shading. Allow the wash to flow and settle naturally; you can guide it with a fine brush if needed. If excess wash accumulates, remove or soften it while still wet using a damp brush or cotton swab. Let the applied wash dry thoroughly before applying additional layers or sealing with varnish.

Usage recommendations

Test the wash on a sample painted with the same Dark Yellow base to confirm desired intensity. For subtler effects, dilute slightly with water or an acrylic medium and apply in thin layers. Use a matte varnish to protect the finish after the wash has fully cured.
