Vallejo Model Air Acrylic Paint, Matte Black Finish, 18 ml for Airbrush, Ideal for Modeling and Miniatures

As always the Vallejo acrylic for airbrushes is superb out of the bottle with great coverage and the ideal mix for your airbrush. My love of Vallejo after returning to the hobby was founded on the neat and bottles. What's not to love. Easy to use, prevents spillage and the paint remains in useable condition all the way to the bottom. No gunky stuff around the edge of the tin for me. One thing to remember is that these are utterly useless if you intend using a brush as well. This does rather mean that for some colours you will need both the standard which can be brushed (and thinned of course) and this pre-mix for airbrush. Now, I do use the standard paints and thin them for air but honestly? These pre-mix versions are much better. I've found that they are far less likely to gunk up your airbrush especially with the finer nozzles. Overall another excellent Vallejo product.

I was thinking of how I could make an 2,000 word review, for paint. I just can't. It's model paint, made by Vallejo, pre-thinned to be used for an airbrush. It dries quickly, has a nice fragrance (that I think is vanilla?), and goes a long way. I also find myself cleaning out the dropper bottles and throwing other branded paints into them (after thinning them down with Vallejo airbrush thinner), then slapping a homemade label on them stating shade and mixtures. I've been using Vallejo model/game air paints since I first picked up a cheap AB+compressor kit and basic as well as metallic sets--restocking and building collections of shades along the way. I usually have my compressor set between 15-20 PSI. I highly recommend Vallejo, maybe even over Tamiya.

This dinky little bottle arrived simply packed and in perfect condition. This is the first time I have tried acrylic model paint, and I am really enjoying it. Firstly it's cheap enough to buy a few colours and just have fun experimenting with them. This isn't like ye olden days model paint for people hiding in their attics surrounded by half made tanks. This is also for serious artists. Classed as an airbrush paint, it can easily be diluted. If you apply it straight to paper (ideally quite heavy paper) and spray with water it spreads, and can be tilted to experiment. It's definitely worth adding to your painting kit. Definitely recommend. Thanks for reading, I hope you find this review helpful.

I Like it

Very good quality

It did the job for what i needed it too

I dislike the viscosity of this, it’s rather think, coverage is very good however.
