A safe, low-odour water-based gouache for adding realistic wear to scale models. Light Dust is the settled-dust-and-fade shade — ideal for fine dust build-up in recesses and panel lines, accumulated grime on horizontal surfaces, a sun-bleached dusty haze over paintwork, and the powdery film that collects on lower hulls, wheels and undercarriage.

Supplied in a 20ml tube, it can be used straight for concentrated dust deposits and caked build-up, or thinned with water or the dedicated Mr Hobby WTT111 thinner for dusty filters, fading, and subtle washes. Being water-based, there's no harsh solvent smell and cleanup is just water.

WT05 is part of a six-colour range — white, black, and four earth, rust, and dust tones — developed under the supervision of Kazuya Yoshioka, one of Japan's leading AFV and diorama modelers.
