Chipping medium also known as chipping fluid is a specialized product used in the world of scale modeling and miniature painting. It is valid for brush and airbrush and it is designed to assist model enthusiasts in creating realistic weathering effects on scale models, such as model aircraft, tanks, cars, or dioramas. It works by altering the adhesion properties of paint layers, allowing the topcoat to be easily chipped or removed to reveal the underlying layers, simulating the wear and tear that real-life objects experience.
