Vallejo Model Air

Professional Airbrush Paints for Scale Modeling

Vallejo Model Air represents the pinnacle of acrylic airbrush paint technology for scale modeling enthusiasts and professional painters. Each 17ml bottle contains ready-to-use formulations specifically engineered for optimal airbrush performance, eliminating the guesswork of thinning ratios and ensuring consistent, professional results every application.

Authentic Military Color Standards

This comprehensive collection features authentic military color specifications including Federal Standard (FS), RAL, RLM, British Standard (BS), and ANA colors. Whether you're replicating WWII Luftwaffe schemes, modern NATO camouflage, or Cold War-era Soviet finishes, Model Air provides historically accurate pigments matched to original military specifications. These colors integrate seamlessly with Vallejo paint sets and complement weathering effects for complete finishing solutions.

Superior Formulation and Performance

Model Air's water-based acrylic formula offers exceptional coverage, self-leveling properties, and rapid drying times without sacrificing workability. The paints maintain excellent adhesion on plastic, resin, metal, and white metal surfaces, making them ideal for diverse modeling applications from armor and aircraft to figures and dioramas. The non-toxic, odorless formulation ensures safe indoor use, while the flexible finish resists chipping and cracking even on articulated parts.

Complete Color Range and Compatibility

With over 250 colors spanning military standards, metallic finishes, and specialty tones, Model Air provides unmatched versatility for any modeling project. The range includes primers, varnishes, and transparent colors for advanced techniques like pre-shading and color modulation. All colors are fully intermixable, allowing custom shade creation while maintaining consistent spray characteristics. Pair with Vallejo primers for optimal surface preparation and explore paint accessories to enhance your airbrushing workflow.

Application and Technique

Model Air paints are optimized for airbrush pressures between 15-20 PSI, though they perform admirably across a wider range depending on your airbrush setup and desired effect. The ready-to-use consistency eliminates thinning for most applications, though small amounts of Vallejo Airbrush Thinner can be added for ultra-fine detail work or extended spraying sessions. Clean-up is effortless with water or dedicated airbrush cleaners, protecting your airbrushing equipment investment.
