What is a paint filter for models?
A filter is a very thinned paint, it is applied to change the hue of models as a whole without discriminating specific areas or detail.
Filters are often confused with washes which are used to pick out certain areas such as panel lines, rivets or recesses etc.
Filters are extremely thin (often at least twice as thin as a wash) and are usually the same colour as the paint onto which they are being applied. This helps blends in the colour and is quite useful on camouflage patterns.
Having said that, experienced modellers have been known to produce remarkable effects by playing with colours.
