Vallejo Wash Question

Post by Navcom »

Quick question...

I have a 17ml bottle of black shade Vallejo acrylic wash. Does this stuff need to be thinned before use? (I'm using it on aircraft) I'm new to washes and was just curious. It seems pretty thick.

Yeah it needs thinning with water to the consistency you need. I've used them for years now and like them. If you watch scale model medics you tube videos he uses it in some of those

Thanks Paul. I figured it needed some but wasn't sure. It looks more like the consistency of an ink than a wash...or somewhere I between.

Looking forwards trying some new techniques!
