The Weathering Stick in "Light Earth" shade imitates natural dust and earthy dirt, which is especially useful for model tanks, armored vehicles, off-road cars, civilian vehicles, and military infrastructure. It works great for reproducing the effect of dirty undercarriages, wheels, fenders, armor, and other surfaces exposed to contact with soil. The product's main advantage is its very easy application – the patina is applied directly from the applicator (resembling a correction stick) and then blended with a brush or finger. The Weathering Stick does not require any additional thinners, and the effects can be easily adjusted on the go.

Product advantages:

• Allows quick and precise reproduction of wear marks on all kinds of models
• Long-lasting effect of matte, earthy dirt
• Consistency allows precise control during application – perfect for both beginners and advanced modelers
• Transparent, compact casing ensures convenient use and storage
• Non-toxic formula – user safety

Recommended for modelers of all skill levels. Enables anyone, even without much experience in weathering techniques, to greatly enhance the realism of their models. I rate the product's difficulty of use as level 1/5 – very easy to apply and control the final effects.

To sum up – Tamiya 87087 Weathering Stick (Light Earth) is an indispensable tool for every modeling enthusiast who values authenticity and the highest quality of finish for historical and modern vehicle replicas and dioramas.
