Pigments are the modeller's secret for the finest soot and staining, and this smoke tone gives you a soft, dark grey for smoke residue. Use it to trail exhaust staining back across a hull, darken the mouths of gun barrels and settle a sooty film wherever smoke has drifted and clung.

Apply the fine powder dry for a dusty finish or fix it in place with pigment fixer or thinner, working over a matt surface for the best grip. Browse the full AK Interactive weathering effects range for more to build up alongside it.
