This grey paint consists of very fine pigments and an acrylic resin with properties of extreme strength and durability. Model Air is a liquid acrylic paint that has been specially developed for airbrush techniques and is 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.
The pigments used for this grey airbrush colour must be specially ground to achieve 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 preserves the properties of the medium and the colours. Model Air has an excellent adhesion to all surfaces. Once the grey 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 paint also provides great quality when applied with a brush for the finest details, washes and inks and is extremely suitable for a layered application such as a glaze. 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 unique thing about this grey paint is that it comes in a so-called "eyedropper" jar containing 17ml. acrylic paint. The "eyedropper" ensures that the amount of paint can be dosed very easily and that the paint does not dry out so quickly. 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.
