Vallejo Model Air Green is part of the Model Air program of the Vallejo brand, specially developed for the airbrush and is a gray-green acrylic paint in a 17ml. eyedropper jar.
Model Air is a liquid acrylic paint specially developed for airbrush techniques available in a wide range of colours. The strength, hardness and covering power of Model Air is superior to all known acrylic paints for airbrushing. This grey-green paint consists of very fine pigments and an acrylic resin with properties of extreme strength and durability.
Model Air has excellent adhesion to all surfaces. Once the grey-green paint is protected with varnish (Gloss, Matte or Satin) Model Air can be painted over with solvent based paints such as enamels or oil paints. The revolutionary process of obtaining the pigments used in the Model Air formula ensures that it has the finest texture for applying the colours to a model. The pigments used for this grey-green airbrush colour have to be specially ground to obtain the best possible consistency to avoid clogging of the airbrush. Colours can be mixed, Model Air Thinner, with water or any medium such as varnish to achieve the desired effect. However, we recommend the use of Model Air Thinner as this product retains the properties of the medium and the colours. The paint also provides great quality when applied with a brush for the smallest details, washes and inks and is extremely suitable for a layered application such as a glaze.
The "eyedropper" (or eye dropper) ensures that the amount of paint can be dosed very easily and that the paint does not dry out so quickly. The unique thing about this gray-green paint is that it is supplied in a so-called "eyedropper" jar containing 17 ml. acrylic paint. Of course, it can always happen that the opening sometimes gets a little clogged. You can easily solve this by using a needle or thin cocktail stick to clear the opening.
