Give your models the realistic look of exposure to sun, wind and sand with the Vallejo Model Wash Desert Dust – 35 ml (76522). This wash from the respected Vallejo‑range offers hobbyists an easy and effective way to simulate desert dust, sand build‑up and weathering on vehicles, figures, buildings or dioramas.

Why choose Desert Dust? The “Desert Dust” colour is specifically tailored for sandy and desert environments: think light yellow‑beige sand layers, dust accumulation around seams and recesses, and subtle shadow‑effects in relief. With this wash, fine panel lines, micro‑details and textured surfaces instantly stand out.

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 with a fine brush (penseel) along panel lines, textured zones or weather‑exposed areas. Capillary action will draw the wash into the details.
• After about 1–2 minutes you can gently remove or adjust excess wash with a lightly dampened cloth or brush, depending on the effect you’re aiming for.
• Allow sufficient drying time (approximately 20 minutes) before applying varnish or additional weathering layers.

What makes this wash so effective?

• Water‑based: fewer fumes, easier cleanup, safe for indoor hobby use.
• Excellent capillary flow: the wash’ll crawl into fine details and panels, giving the model depth and realism.
• Versatile: works on plastic, resin, metal, wood – perfect for vehicles, aircraft, buildings and dioramas.

Technical specifications:

• Volume: 35 ml.
