AK Interactive AK301 Dark Wash For Wood Deck is a professional enamel wash created for modelers seeking realistic aging effects and enhanced detail on wooden decks of model ships. This product is primarily intended for plastic models that feature faithfully reproduced wooden decks—in scales such as 1/700, 1/350, as well as larger formats like 1/200 or 1/144. However, it also works perfectly for any elements imitating wood, such as railway stock, World War I and II military vehicles, architectural models, or diorama scenes.

Warships from the World War I era, the interwar period, and World War II (e.g., battleships, cruisers, and dreadnoughts of the British, German, Japanese, American, or Italian navies) often had characteristic wood-like deck coverings. AK301 Dark Wash For Wood Deck helps bring out the beauty of such surfaces, highlighting wood grain, seams, and texture—adding depth and a natural, worn look. This is an especially useful effect for achieving authentic weathering—subtle soiling, shading, and patina effects observed on real ships operating at sea.

The wash is enamel-based, which guarantees a longer drying time and ease of manipulation during application. This allows you to correct the effect as you work, blend hues, and gradually build up striking effects. The product is highly efficient and compatible with most primers and modeling varnishes available on the market. It can be thinned with any modeling enamel thinner.
