Product information

Vallejo Model Air paints are matt water-based acrylic paints specially formulated for the airbrush technique. In the production of these paints, various new acrylic resins have been used to achieve properties that were previously not possible in water-based paints. The excellent resistance, hardness and opacity of Model Air are superior to any previous airbrush acrylic paint and allow the colors to be applied with a brush to the smallest details of miniatures. The pigments have been selected for their lightfastness and optimal micronization. The special formula of Model Air allows overpainting with several diluted layers of paint for washes and weathering effects.

Color selection:

The colors have been carefully selected to provide modelers with the most commonly used shades, and over two years of testing have been conducted to develop the exact shades of RLM, RAL and FS; BS and ANA colors. Model Air colors can be mixed with each other and diluted with water, Model Air thinner, varnish or even alcohol depending on the desired effect, although Model Air thinner is recommended because the formula is adapted to the colors.

Surfaces:

Model Air is suitable for use on all surfaces. Model Air adheres excellently to resin and plastic models as well as metal miniatures and does not require prior priming. For very dark surfaces, we recommend priming the models first with white or light gray to enhance the luminosity of the colors.

Instructions for use:

Shake well before use and pour the paint directly into the airbrush, either undiluted or diluted beforehand with Thinner (71.261). The Model Air colors can be mixed with each other and dry quickly, they can be processed immediately with glazes, pigments, dry-brush and other aging techniques.

Safety / Toxicity:

Model Air has the following international safety certifications: EN71-3:2013 and ASTM D-4236. These independent certifications guarantee that no harmful substances are used that could pose a risk to the health of both users and the environment.

Use with airbrush and compressor:

The Model Air series can be used without dilution with nozzle sizes from 0.2 mm. Environmental conditions may change the viscosity of the product and make thinning necessary. We recommend working with a compressor pressure between PSI 10 - 15 or 0.75 - 1.10 bar (0.5 - 1 kgs).
