Vertical rain streaks on the sides of superstructures are the work of the Rain Marks liquid pigment from the Liquid Pigments Washes range by Lifecolor.
Responsibility details are not available.
Rain does not run down a model at random. Water pulls dust off horizontal surfaces over the edge and downward, and on the vertical sides it leaves behind a system of fine vertical streaks. It is one of the most typical signs of a vehicle that stood outside for a long time, and at the same time an effect that comes out badly when it is painted by hand. This liquid pigment from the Italian brand Lifecolor is built for exactly that.
The fluid with the pigment dispersed in it is laid on at the top edge of a vertical surface and left to run down. The pigment settles along the way and, after evaporation, streaks remain that are stronger at the top and fade toward the bottom. The key is to hold the model upright while working and let gravity do the job, because gravity makes irregularity better than any brush.
The commonest is the same length and the same spacing for all the streaks. Real rain traces form irregularly; some end halfway down the surface and others run all the way. The second common mistake is too much contrast, where the streaks look like scratches. A weaker effect in several layers works better.
For modelers who want to give a model the impression of time, not just of dust. It is laid on finished coats of paint and in small steps; mix the bottle before work.
Keep out of the reach of children, ventilate when working in a closed room and close the bottle well after use.
