This grey-blue 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. Model Air is a liquid acrylic paint that has been specially developed for airbrush techniques and is available in a wide range of colours.
Model Air has excellent adhesion to all surfaces. Once the grey-blue 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 smallest 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 most beautiful texture for applying the colours to a model. The pigments used for this grey-blue airbrush colour have to be specially ground to get the best possible consistency to avoid clogging the airbrush. Colours can be mixed, Model Air Thinner, with water or any medium such as varnish, to get 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 "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 grey-blue paint is that it is supplied in a so-called "eyedropper" jar containing 17ml. 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.
