Take your scale models and dioramas to the next level of realism with the Vallejo Model Wash Grey – 35 ml (76516). This wash is designed to provide easy and effective shading, grime and weathering effects in a neutral grey tone that fits perfectly with vehicles, buildings, figures or terrain in a wide range of settings.

Why choose Grey? The “Grey” shade is perfect when you work with models painted in grey, steel or metallic finishes, or when you need to add subtle shadowing and dirt without a strong coloured tint. It brings out panel lines, recesses and textures automatically, giving immediate depth and realism.

How to use:

• 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, seams, textured areas or lower parts where dust or dirt accumulates. Let capillary action draw it into the detail.
• Correction: After about 1–2 minutes you may gently remove or soften excess wash with a slightly damp cloth or brush, depending on how intense you want the effect.
• Drying: Allow sufficient drying time (approximately 20 minutes) before applying varnish or additional weathering layers.

What makes this wash effective?

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