Take your scale models and dioramas to the next level of realism with the Vallejo Model Wash Dark Grey – 35 ml (76517). This wash is specially created to provide easy and effective shading, grime and weathering effects, presented in a dark grey tone that fits perfectly with vehicles, terrain and urban or industrial settings.

Why choose Dark Grey? The “Dark Grey” shade is ideal for scenarios where grey‑tones, steel surfaces or weathered metal dominate: imagine armored vehicles, tunnels, factories or city scenery. This wash effortlessly highlights panel lines, recesses, textured surfaces and dust zones — giving your model instant depth and realism.

How to use it:

• Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean and dry — a lightly glossed or semi‑matte topcoat helps the wash flow evenly.
• Application: Use a fine brush (penseel) to apply the wash along panel lines, recesses, textured zones or parts where grime and shadow accumulate. Let the wash flow into the detail via capillary action.
• Correction: After around 1–2 minutes you may gently remove or soften excess wash with a lightly damp cloth or brush, depending on how strong the effect should be.
• Drying: Allow proper drying (approximately 20 minutes) before applying varnish or additional weathering layers.

What makes this wash effective?

• Water‑based: easy to clean up, fewer fumes — perfect for indoor hobby use.
• High capillary flow: the wash penetrates fine lines, panel seams and textures, enhancing depth and realism.
• Versatile: suitable for plastic, resin, metal and wood — ideal for vehicles, aircraft, buildings, dioramas and figures.
