Basic Colors Acrylic 16 Airbrush Paint Set for Model Hobby Vallejo 71178 : desertcart.in: Toys & Games

Review: This is the paint I love and I got it too. Awesome - Awesome paint. We should get a store in India too..
Review: The first thing to note about buying Vallejo paints from desertcart is that for some reason the listings are not all accurate, which leads to confusion on what you are actually buying. It appears that some listings have the wrong picture and / or description, so what you see or read about may not actually be the information for the set you chose by the title. You can also find different descriptions depending on whether you are using a mobile device or browser to view the item. I can often see the colors in the set listed in the description on the mobile app, but never if I am using a browser, but the mobile listings are not always accurate either. That said, every purchase I have made I have received the TITLED item, regardless of picture or description. I suggest downloading a catalog from Vallejo which includes their colors at time of publication and the sets they offer with their contents clearly listed, then buy them BY TITLE from desertcart. So far, this has worked for me for several purchases. As far as the paints go, I was an old fashioned modeler, I insisted on using the old enamel products for years, but they were getting harder to find, and I hated the amount of waste I had if I used an airbrush by the time I used an eye dropper to extract and thin the paint for spraying. Not to mention that thinning the enamels would often times cause a slight change in the actual color that laid down on the model, so if you later did any touch up by brush, or a different coat, it could lead to different shades of paint. So I ended up getting into a few acrylic paints and washes over time for shades I couldn't find any other way, but then I had to make sure everything was fully cured or sealed before swapping from enamel to acrylic or I would end up with a nasty mess and ruined model. This all led me to trying this "Model Air" line by Vallejo, and I am sold! They are so easy to spray without the need to thin them down. If I am doing a large surface I will use some Flow Improver to keep the air brush from drying up on me, but I use the recommend 2 drops of improver to 10 drops paint, so it doesn't change the color at all and is very easy to duplicate. The dropper bottles are awesome, I have MUCH less waste, no more lids drying on the bottle either since they clean easy and and are plastic so the don't 'glue' themselves together. They also dry very fast, so buy the time I am done with the first coat on the entire project the first pieces are typically ready for the second coat. Lastly, they brush well for touch up or small areas too. I will also note that they have handy storage solutions that work great and help keep your hobby area organized, just be careful when putting them together. And their Primers are great and easy to spray through an airbrush too.

**Q: what surfaces can this be used on?  Plastic, Metal, etc?**
A: On any surface. For metal you will need to primer first
