AK Interactive 60ml Waterborne Acrylic Varnish for Scale Models, Miniatures, and Figure Painting A scale model isn't finished when the paint dries — it's finished when the clear coat seals everything underneath. The AK Interactive 60ml Acrylic Varnish line delivers three essential finishes that every modeler uses at different stages of a build: Matte for the final non-reflective surface on weathered armor and historical figures, Satin for the subtle sheen on leather, rubber, and uniform details, and Gloss for decal preparation and panel-line wash work. This is AK's standard 60ml dropper format — their most affordable varnish line, positioned below the larger 100ml 3rd Generation varnishes for modelers who want a smaller bottle or a lower per-unit cost. The waterborne acrylic formulation applies directly from the bottle through an airbrush or with a soft brush, and thins with AK-712 Acrylic Thinner when heavier dilution is required. All three finishes share the same non-toxic, odorless chemistry — safe for indoor application and compatible with acrylic, enamel, and lacquer paints once the underlying layers are fully cured. Finish Selection Guide Each finish is available as a variant — select the one that matches your current workflow stage in the dropdown above. Most modelers eventually keep all three on hand because the clear-coat sequence uses each at different points in a build. AK190 – Matte Varnish: Dead-flat final finish for weathered armor, historical figures, matte camouflage schemes, and any subject that should photograph non-reflective under display lighting. The standard final-coat choice when the model is fully weathered and ready for display. AK191 – Satin Varnish: Subtle sheen between matte and gloss. Use on leather equipment, rubber tires, wood stocks, uniform details, and anything that reads as slightly polished without looking wet. Also works as a compromise final coat for modelers who find pure matte too flat and full gloss too shiny. AK192 – Gloss Varnish: High-sheen surface for two specific workflow steps — preparing a model for decal application (prevents decal silvering) and preparing a model for panel-line wash (lets the wash flow into recesses and wipe cleanly off raised surfaces). Also the correct final coat for inherently glossy subjects like fuel tanks, show cars, and display vehicles.
