Hello!
I ordered a bottle of this product alongside with Revell's Lightning at Lucky Model.
Have you ever tried this washings? Are they as affective as shown on Promodeller's website videos?
What are your impressions and thoughts about?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Giacomo
BrandydogUK tried out Promodeller Washes when they first appeared, with excellent results: https://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/forums/114876&page=1.
Geoff Illsley certainly rates them very highly in his DVD on Realistic WW2 Finishing Techniques.
Inspired by the above, I bought some last week, but haven't tried them out yet.
All the best

Hi Giacomo.
Ive used it a couple of times and I find it quick and easy to apply. One bonus is the quicker drying time as opposd to using an oil wash.
I havent tried mixing the different shades yet but I cant see that causing any problems.
This is a section of wing.

Hi Giacomo!
I used Promodeller's wash on my two latest projects. The first time was on the La-7...
I also used it on this Siebel Si 204...
On the later model I used the lighter wash over the black surface.
What I like about the product, is that it weathers the surface of the model as well. You have to use the product over a gloss or, at least, a semi gloss finish though.
