WCT-201 Mr. Weathering Color Thinner

Gunze Mr. Weathering Color Thinner 50 ml

A thinner from the Japanese maker Gunze (Mr. Hobby) in a 50 ml package, developed directly for the Mr. Weathering Color range, the ready-made washes and filters for weathering. It is not a universal thinner for paints: its job is to work with the products of this weathering range. It thins them to the intensity you want, blends them into soft transitions and, once dry, wipes the excess away where the effect was too strong. Thanks to that you have full control over the weathering, as you can strengthen it or weaken it until you are satisfied. It also serves to clean brushes used with this range.

Use

• Thinning: thin the weathering product according to how subtle an effect you want, as a more heavily thinned wash accents the panel lines less aggressively.
• Blending: run a brush dampened with the thinner over dried paint and spread it into transitions, the traces of running water, dust and grime.
• Wiping the excess: with a cloth or a cotton bud lightly dampened in the thinner, wipe the excess wash off the surfaces and leave it only in the recesses and the corners.
• Cleaning: after work, rinse the brushes used with the weathering products.
• Ideally work on a model with a clear coat (a gloss or flat protective coat), which protects the layer of paint under the weathering. Test the strength of its action in a hidden place first.

Who it is for

For modelers who weather with washes and filters, on military equipment, aircraft, ships, science fiction mecha models and dioramas. An indispensable companion if you work with the ready-made weathering products of this range.

A solvent-based product with a low odor. Even so, work in a well-ventilated room, keep it away from fire and sources of heat, avoid contact with the eyes and skin and keep it out of the reach of children. Always check the reaction on a sample first, as the solvent can attack unprotected layers of paint.
