Vallejo Model Air 71057 Black (17ml)

Model Air is a specialized range of matte acrylic colors designed specifically for airbrushing, featuring a water-based formulation. This series incorporates novel resins selected for their unprecedented qualities in water-based paints. Model Air surpasses existing acrylic airbrush colors in terms of strength, durability, and coverage, making it ideal for highlighting intricate details even when applied with a brush. Pigments are meticulously chosen based on their light-fastness and optimal micronization, ensuring consistent quality across the color range.

The versatility of Model Air allows for various effects like washes and transparencies by simply diluting the colors. They can be mixed seamlessly with each other and diluted with Airbrush Thinner. The color palette is meticulously curated to cater to model painters, featuring shades commonly used in references such as RLM, RAL, FS, BS, and ANA colors. Over two years of testing have been dedicated to developing these tones to match industry standards.

Model Air exhibits exceptional adhesion to all surfaces, including resin models, plastics, steel, and white metal. While a primer is generally unnecessary, applying a base coat of white or grey is recommended for very dark surfaces to enhance color luminosity.

To use Model Air effectively, shake the bottle thoroughly before pouring the paint directly into the airbrush. It can be used undiluted or mixed with Model Air Thinner (71261) for desired consistency. Colors can be blended directly in the airbrush cup. Model Air dries rapidly upon application, facilitating immediate aging techniques and the use of washes, pigments, and dry-brush methods.
