This is a pretty straight forward question I hve never whitewashed ever and… how is it done
here is one way to do it.
http://ic.net/~glpp/Resource/WhtWash.htm
or some really thinned down white hand brushed vertically, the downward streaks look like wet snow or rain has taken off some of the whitewash.
Another way that I use is to use pastels to make the whitewash. I usually apply white from the tamiya weathering sets, and apply it dry using the sponge applicator. I just keep brushing it on untill it is thick enough. The when I overcoat the model with tesotrs dull coat, it dims down and fades out the white. Ive used this on 3 models so far, an Sdkfz 222, a stuerer emil, and a 7/1 flak halftrack. Here a link:
