Weather and washes

[Tomtom12]

Hi all I need some help with weathering and washes i am new to modeling miltitary subjets, I've seen Pauls video to do with washes and understand how to use them, am I right in thinking that mig and ak products are the same and do a similar job, also what do you use oil paints for. Are there any good books I can get on this subject. All info greatly received

Some people use ink-washes aswell, never used them myself. I have personally only used home cooked enamel-based washes so far but I have some Ultimate-washes and Vallejo-washes enroute to my location as I type this. I think that MiG and AK are enamel based wich means theyre smelly. Ultimate, Flory washes and Vallejo are non smelling washes I believe. Don't know about the smell of ink-washes.

As for the usage of these products I would refer to the youtube-jungle. Youre guaranteed to find a tutorial on mig and ak-washes in there. Im no expert on this subject but I hope this brings you any kind of clarity.
