What is weathering and why is it important?

Weathering, the technique of aging models, is one of the most fascinating stages of model making, allowing you to give your models a realistic appearance. Every vehicle, building, or aircraft is affected by weather conditions and operational use over time. Traces of rust, dust, mud, rain streaks, or paint chips appear on its surface. The purpose of the products in this category is to faithfully replicate these effects. Thanks to AK Interactive's weathering products, even a simple model gains depth and a story, transforming from a mere plastic toy into a miniature replica of a real object. Whether you're building a tank from the Eastern Front or a civilian car, proper weathering is the key to achieving a spectacular final result.
