About Mud Brown It really does look like dirt. One quick spray makes models look really weathered. One of the most effective colours. Works really well on its own it is very effective. Also works really well mixed with Slate Grey or Light Grey. If you are buying just one spray, then make it this one, or Oil Brown.

Landscapes On grass, tree and shrub foliage Mud Brown looks a dark muddy colour. It can be very visible when dry, so not much spray is needed. It one of the best sprays for use on ballast and roads, creating a really muddy/dirty finish. Works well on railway tracks and sleepers, making them look really dirty. Wipe it off the top of the track using a damp tissue after it has dried. 

Mud Brown looks like mud when applied to model houses and trains. It's quite dark and is one of the most visible sprays. It is still hard to see on dark coloured models.

The sprays are translucent dyes and will not cover/obscure in the same way as a paint. The colours will look different if applied to different things like absorbent tufted grass in a landscape, or perhaps to the non porous coloured plastic surface of a model. Test the sprays before use to ensure that the colour is right. Because the sprays are translucent, they will also look different if sprayed onto different coloured plastics because the colour of the plastic will most often still be visible through the spray. Colours will look different if applied to a matt surface or a glossy surface.

All sprays are 200ml sized cans.
