It dries to a matte, waterproof finish in 30 minutes, is non-toxic, and includes a brush for easy application on metal, plastic, and wood surfaces. Perfect for hobbyists seeking authentic weathering effects inspired by Central European and Mediterranean terrains. ## Description Product Description The various products of the Weathering Effects range, all of them formulated with permanent pigments and water based acrylic resins, have been developed to represent the effects of time and weather on models and dioramas, so that they will look as once their originals in the field. This range of effects includes the spilled fuel runnels, the splashed mud, the lichen and moss on wood, the crushed grass stuck to the metal links of the chains of a tank, all the traces of wear and destruction on vehicles in harsh and hostile climate. A dark brown colour with traces of vegetation, most commonly observed in central European terrain and humid areas of the Mediterranean countries. Most of the non alkaline grounds present this aspect. Directions Mix a small amount of product with water on a palette, dip the included brush into the mixture, and apply to the desired surface to create a weathered, muddy effect. Box Contains 1 x 40 ml bottle Review: Really cool mud "paint" - Seriously impressive stuff. Looks like mud, goes on like mud, but dries hard. I've used it on my scale crawler for some muddy sides and it's perfect. I didn't treat the plastic at all, just slapped it on there and it went hard nice and quick.

It dries great with texture and even looks wet on plastic **Q: Will this work well with an RC tank that gets driven?** A: i would not recommend it ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really cool mud "paint" *by T***M on 17 November 2025* Seriously impressive stuff.
