Vallejo Model Air Matt acrylic colours are water-based and specially formulated for airbrushing. The Model Air colour range contains the most complete selection of the military colours used in recent history, including the colours of WWI, WWII and up to the present. Model Air can also be used directly or diluted with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver. It is recommended to first prime the surface, and then apply Model Air in several layers. The colours dry very rapidly and form a homogenous paint film of extraordinary resistance while preserving even the smallest detail of the model.
Colours can be mixed with one another, diluted with water, Model Air Thinner or Varnish, according to the effect desired, but we recommend the use of Model Air Thinner since this product conserves the properties of the colours. Model Air adheres exceptionally well to all surfaces. The adhesion of Model Air to resin models, plastics, steel and white metal is extraordinary. Once protected with varnish, (Gloss, Matte or Satin) Model Air can be overpainted with solvent-based enamels or oil colours, they withstand cleaning with turpentine and even a light wash with alcohol. The resistance to abrasion of the colours, once varnished, is superior to any other water-based acrylic.
Safety: Model Air is not flammable, and does not contain solvents.
