Vallejo Model Air IJA Earth Brown is part of the Model Air program of the Vallejo brand, specially developed for the airbrush and is a brown 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. This brown paint consists of very fine pigments and an acrylic resin with properties of extreme strength and durability. The strength, hardness and covering power of Model Air is superior to all known acrylic paints for airbrushing.
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 colours. The paint also provides excellent brush application for the finest details, washes and inks and is ideal for layering applications such as glazes. 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 brown airbrush colour have to be specially ground to achieve the best possible consistency to avoid clogging the airbrush. Model Air has excellent adhesion to all surfaces. Once the brown paint has been protected with varnish, (Gloss, Matte or Satin) Model Air can be overpainted with solvent based paints such as enamels or oil paints.
The unique thing about this brown 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.
