Master Model

Chemical Blackener for brass


Reviewed by Timothy Dike

Freetime Hobbies is known for carrying the extensive line of Master Models machined gun barrels. Their parts are machined so fine, that it seems a shame to add a coat of paint to them. Now you have an alternative to a thick coat of paint. These 50 ml bottles have enough fluid in them to blacken a whole fleet of ships and then some. 
There are a ton of applications for this product. I think it will really come in handy on photo etch mesh and other details that paint would tend to clog and cover up the details. The blackener would give you a dark color without covering up the surface detail. 

For tips on using this product see the thread on the ShipModels.info forum here. 
CONCLUSIONS
Blackener has been around for a long time, but I haven't seen it used much in the model ship world. The applications seem endless with all the aftermarket brass parts and photo etch on the market. 

A 50 ml bottle #MASMM001 sells for $4.99 at Freetime Hobbies.
