Refined and simplified title: Vallejo Model Air 71097 Medium Gunship Gray (17ml)

Model Air is a range of water-based, matte acrylic colors, developed specifically for airbrushing. In the formulation of this range, various new resins have been selected for qualities that had not previously been achieved in water-based colors. The strength, resistance, and covering power of Model Air is superior to any acrylic airbrush color currently available, and it also allows for application by brush to highlight the smallest details of miniatures.

The pigments used in Model Air have been carefully selected based on their degree of light-fastness and optimal micronization. This allows for the creation of effects such as washes and transparencies by diluting the colors. All Model Air colors and varnishes can be mixed together and diluted with Airbrush Thinner to achieve the desired effect.

The color range has been very thoughtfully chosen to provide the model painter with the most frequently employed references. Extensive testing over two years has been conducted to develop tonalities that correspond to the RLM, RAL, FS, BS, and ANA color systems commonly used in the industry.

Model Air adheres exceptionally well to a variety of surfaces, including resin models, plastics, steel, and white metal. A primer is usually not required, but if the object to be painted is very dark, a base coat of white or grey can help bring out the luminosity of the colors.

Using Model Air is straightforward: simply shake the bottle well before use, and pour the paint directly into the airbrush, either undiluted or previously diluted with Thinner (71261). Colors can be mixed in the cup of the airbrush. Model Air dries almost instantly on the model, allowing for immediate application of aging processes, as well as the use of washes, pigments, and dry-brush techniques.

The varnishes in the Model Air range have been formulated specifically to complement the colors, ensuring a cohesive and durable finish. These varnishes can be used to protect the painted surfaces and provide a desired level of sheen, from matte to gloss.

In summary, Model Air offers model painters a superior water-based acrylic color system, with a carefully curated range of hues, exceptional adhesion properties, and the ability to create a wide variety of effects through mixing, dilution, and application techniques. The thoughtful development and testing of this product line ensures that it meets the needs of the most discerning model painters.
