Vallejo Model Air 17ml Thinner

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 always try to use Vallejo paints, the pigment quality is awesome. They have such a large range of colours in lots of different mediums. If i could afford it i would buy a 72 piece Vallejo Paint Set. You will not be disappointed if you buy Vallejo!

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 purchased this paint as i am in the process of building and painting my own Aliens pulse rifle. Ive completed the base colours and it looks great, but i wanted to give a distressed/battle damaged look so i looked into aluminium acrylic paint and this stuff is great. With a good paint brush i was able to paint chips and scuffs on the rifle and it looks awesome, genuinly looks like ive scuffed and chipped the rifle. I bought this paint alongside gun metal grey which also works brilliantly. I used the paint on PLA plastic and its fantastic. Highly recommend.

I use model air, both for airbrush finishes and for fine detail work.Airbrushing is made simple by the shake and pour mix ready for your airbrush. Use Vallejo airbrush thinner and cleaner after use and clean up is a doddle. Goes on well and build to a perfect finish.For fine detail, the thinner paint is perfect as it doesn't clog up your tiny brushes, and you can get very small details easily, such as gauge needles on 1/72 scale instrument panels.

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.

I haven't used it yet but it does seem quite thin.I've knocked off a couple of stars however because it has arrived covered in dried paint and already opened.Why the company thought it was acceptable to send a product that has been used previously, I have no idea.

Usually Vallejo would be my first choice of paint and i have bought many bottles from them. However this paint is way too thin! I have had to paint multiple layers on my latest model and it still not great, this will mean losing detail from the item i am painting which is frustrating!
