Take your scale models and dioramas to a new level of realism with the Vallejo Model Wash Dark Yellow – 35 ml (76503). This wash is specifically made to add dust, sand and weathering effects to vehicles, figures, buildings or terrain that has seen long exposure to sun, dust and wind.

Why choose Dark Yellow? The “Dark Yellow” shade is tailored for settings where a yellow‑sand tone dominates: think desert vehicles, sandy roads, sun‑bleached structures or terrain exposed to dry conditions. This wash emphasizes panel lines, seams and textured surfaces, giving your model immediate depth and used character.

How to use it:

• Ensure the surface is clean and dry – a lightly glossed or semi‑matte topcoat will help the wash flow evenly.
• Apply the wash using a fine brush (penseel) along panel lines, seams, textured zones or parts where sand, dust or wear accumulates. Let the wash be drawn into the detail through capillary action.
• After about 1–2 minutes you may gently remove or soften excess wash with a slightly damp cloth or brush, depending on how strong you want the effect to appear.
• Allow proper drying time (typically around 20 minutes) before applying varnish or additional weathering layers.

What makes this wash effective?

• Water‑based: fewer fumes, easier clean‑up — perfect for indoor hobby use.
• Strong capillary flow: the wash penetrates fine panel lines, seams and textures, boosting depth and realism.
• Versatile: works on plastic, resin, metal and wood — ideal for vehicles, aircraft, buildings, dioramas and miniatures alike.
