Great paints for airbrushing
Francisco Enrique Padilla –
It’s a very good paint, great quality, amazing colors and a lot of pigment concentration, however it’s airbrush only, you can use it with a regular brush on small areas, but for large areas it’s too thin, and you’ll end up using several coats to cover the plastic. one more thing, when you first aply it, the colors seem exesively dark, but after a couple days of curing they lighten up, don’t know why, it seriusly scared me at first, but it turns good after a couple days

Doing a Fw 190 and this has worked great. I love the easy clean-up, the non-toxic spray environment, the ease of mixing and smooth lay-down. I hate the tip-clogging! That is the trade-off. Even with the Vallejo airbrush flow improver, you still need a pipe cleaner handy to clean your airbrush tip. But, I guess it’s worth it. These paints have an almost sweet smell when airbrushing.
I have the RLM paint chips from Eagle Editions and Classic Publications. I added a bit of white for scale effect to the Vallejo colors and they seem spot on! At 1/48th scale, the RLM 74/75/76 seem dark and need to be lightened a bit.
This paint has a nice feel and snuggles down well to panel lines and details. I’ve used the Vallejo thinner, water, flow improver. Test and see what works best for your set-up.
Don’t be afraid to add some drops of White to the colors for best results!

Package came with leaking bottles.
Amazing isn’t what it was pre-C. Or it’s the Florida weather? Or the old product? It’s allot of money to spend to start with and expectations where high. Disappointed.

These are a great improvement over the Tamiya acrylic paints I have used in the past. I am an avid modeler and visit the hobby on and off for the past 30 years. These paints are so much easier to manage then the bottled tamiya paints. No more hunting for droppers/pipettes to measure out paint. Just shake the bottle, unscrew the lid, count drops into airbrush (same for thinner) and start spraying. This makes mixing a breeze as well (I usually have ratios written down with the dab of mixed paint on a piece of watercolor paper).

I’m learning to airbrush WWII aircraft model kits.
Great colours.
Fast service.
Received product here in Canada from supplier afar very quickly.
I wish there were more colours in the set, but they can be mixed and diluted to get various shades. I have several of these sets of the WWII vein and think they’re great. Love Vallejo air paints. Plus water base makes it easy to clean up.

I love Vallejo paint. This set worked as well as expected. The colors are a little different from the old RLM call outs that Vallejo made. The consistency is well done as is the coverage. As with the other model air line, brush painting is doable if you are only touching up very small areas. These paint do airbrush exceptional if you crack the tip dry code. I use Vallejo flow improver with Vallejo airbrush cleaner to thin them. They will spray straight out of the bottle but go down much better thinned a little. Seems to do the trick.
