Hi to all, someone of you has carried out washing and panelines with Vallejo's Smoke, I want to know like I can use it for that and like it can work, I read that it is not very advisable to carry out washing with him.
They can guide me in this.

Cheers.

I don't know about washing with smoke but I've read that some modellers airbrush it along panel lines to darken them and simulate preshading. If you want an alternative method check out Weathering Panel Lines

Tamiya Also has smoke. Its like a smokey gloss coat. Some here have used it for exhaust wheathering...I tried it with no luck.

:-) I think the problem you will have with using Vallejo's paints is that they are acrylic. Water soluble paint tends look great going on but seperates as it dries. It may be possible to thin them with Isopropynol, or even windscreen washer fluid, which might make a difference? If you try this make sure you have a protective coat, such as Future, on your model first) I have been successful using artists water colours for washes, but have gone back to artists oil paint. I have an article, in the pipeline? on how I do washes. In any event I would advise against Smoke for washes, unless the model is a dark grey colour, such as British Extra Dark Sea Grey. I believe that Black is the wrong colour for washes, to stark, Smoke is almost black so I would only contemplate it on a dark grey colour.
