AK Interactive Weathering Product
Heavy Effects Fluid (35ml) AK-089
AK Interactive Heavy Effects Fluid is an odourless acrylic product designed to simulate large-scale chipping and heavily worn paint on scale models. Serving as an easy-to-use alternative to hairspray, it allows modellers to achieve authentic, controlled damage effects with outstanding realism. As the original product of its kind on the market, it remains a benchmark in weathering techniques.
- 35ml acrylic-based chipping fluid
- Replaces traditional hairspray methods
- Formulated for heavy wear and large chips
- Apply by brush or airbrush between paint layers
- Activates with water for controlled removal
- Ideal for armour, aircraft, and diorama subjects
To use, apply a base colour that will be revealed under the chips. Coat the surface generously with Heavy Effects Fluid using a brush or airbrush, then paint the top acrylic layer. Once dry to the touch, dampen the surface with water and use a brush, tweezers, or a toothpick to lift and scratch the paint, revealing the worn base underneath. The process creates natural, realistic heavy chipping effects with ease.
Heavy Effects Fluid is an essential tool for modellers aiming to depict heavily used or battle-damaged vehicles, adding character, history, and depth to any project.
