discussion Custom Wash for Dambuster's GR4

[Guest]

Hey,


New to these forums


I'm currently making Airfix's GR4 Tornado, the limited edition 617 sqd Dambusters one (hmmm. I bought it a couple years ago but never got round to building it).


I want to highlight the panel lines (almost non-existent on this) using a black or dark grey wash. I have both enamel and acrylic paints, but no access to turpentine (I have white spirit though). I will be applying it to both acrylic and enamel painted surfaces.


Is there a way to make washes? I have seen stuff online but I don't know what is the right colour (for a dark grey surface), and if a spirit based wash will dissolve my enamel painted surfaces.


Cheers in advance


EDIT: The paints I own are mainly revell, with a few Humbrol.

Hi Adam. You can make your own washes, there are many ways of doing this. Suggest a quick search in the forum, there have been many methods discussed.
