One of the biggest challenges in building scale model aircrafts is making your models look weathered and real. From my research and from watching YouTube videos, it seems like the easiest way to weather your models is by using ProModeller’s Weathering Wash.
This is a clay-based solution and comes in a few colors – Light Dirt, Dark Dirt, Black, Rust and Sand. Each color is used to achieve a different effect of course.
Its very easy to use too. Just apply the wash to your models using a regular paintbrush. Then, allow it to dry and wipe off the wash slowly, depending on the amount of weathering you want. If you only want your model to be slightly weathered, you’ll need to wipe off most of the wash.
Since the wash is water-based, if you’re not happy for any reason with the effect you can also use a damp cloth to wipe everything off and start over. I’ve used this to weather my F-11 Tiger and F-9 Cougar cockpits so far, and it worked great.
