For armor vehicles planes ship figures and war game figures. All surfaces exposed to sun wind and dust rain and snow experience a change in color a loss of intensity a dulling and general fading which however is not even or overall. For the model painter these changes in color are very difficult to reproduce and to achieve these effects on a model washes or filters are the perfect solution. The washes are always needed to blend the edges of the colors on a model painted in various camouflage shades. The colors can also be mixed together to achieve further variations of shade and can be used with airbrush or brush according to the model and the effect desired.
