Abteilung 502 Oil Paint - Dark Mud (AKABT130)

Dark Mud is a weathering staple — the tone that puts believable filth under a vehicle or grounds a figure in a snowy scene. It's at its best layered under lighter mud colours, splashed and worked into the affected areas to simulate fresh, wet muck. Combine it with Light Mud or plaster and you get texture that actually looks like the real thing.
