Hey Iain, the white wash and effects look great. I haven't had a chance to play around with the stuff yet. I'm still stuck on the T-69.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Njal, You are correct in that the "streaking Effects" can be used for streaking but why stop there? I thin them out and use them for washes, filters, etc. The reason I chose to use this color in the airbrush in this way was to tie the general dirty colors together from top to bottom.  I don't think that Tamiya Buff was "intended" to be thinned out and used as a dust/dirt layer either but it sure works well!

Isn't it intended to be used by brush to make smaller grimey streaks? I mean what you've done looks great, but for the broad light mist, why wouldn't you just use some heavily diluted paint? The whitewash with the chips and all looks great btw.

White Wash Practice
Posted by Iain Hamilton on Monday, December 20, 2010 8:10 PM

Hello Friends,
 Well, practice makes perfect so.......I used a pallet model to practice some ways to enhance a winter white wash. The model has been spilt in half to give more surface area to experiment with different colors and finishes. The experiment was to test some finishes achieved by feeding A.K. Interactive weathering products through an airbrush. The results with the AK014 "Winter Streaking Grime" are an impresive way to add some richness to the otherwise bland finish!
 This image shows a white wash over dunkelgelb. Tamiya White in various density.

 Second image shows some chipping and washes.....

  Aplication of AK014 "Winter Streaking Grime" to the lower edges....

 The final result! The mist applied to the lower edges adds more texture and ties the washes and streaks together.

 Let me know what you guys think of the effect.
