Vallejo Model Paints for Scale Modeling

Vallejo produces one of the most comprehensive ranges of water-based acrylic paints available to scale modelers, miniature painters, and diorama builders. Their dropper-bottle system delivers precise, waste-free dispensing across hundreds of colors and formulations.

Brush-On Acrylic Ranges

Vallejo Model Color is the gold standard for scale modeling, with over 200 colors spanning military camouflage, historical uniforms, and earth tones — ideal for armor, aircraft, ships, and figures at any scale. Vallejo Game Color delivers vibrant fantasy palettes with exceptional coverage for tabletop miniatures, Warhammer armies, and Dungeons & Dragons figures. Vallejo Panzer Aces provides museum-quality, historically accurate colors for WWII armored vehicle crews and tank figures in 1/35 and 1/48 scale.

Airbrush-Ready Formulations

Vallejo Model Air is pre-thinned for direct airbrush use and references authentic FS, RAL, RLM, and ANA military color standards — essential for aviation and armor modelers. Vallejo Game Air brings the same ready-to-spray convenience to fantasy miniatures with vibrant colors formulated for Warhammer, sci-fi, and tabletop gaming. Vallejo Premium Airbrush Color offers 60ml bottles of pre-thinned acrylics including fluorescents, candy tones, metallics, and phosphorescent finishes for advanced airbrushing techniques.

Metallic Finishes

Vallejo Metal Color delivers mirror-like metallic finishes in 32ml bottles — including Aluminium, Chrome, Steel, Copper, and Gunmetal Grey — without polishing or buffing. Vallejo Liquid Metals feature finely ground metallic pigments in a water-based formula suitable for both brush and airbrush application. Vallejo True Metallics expand the range with 69 colors across Airbrush, Base, Light, and Shade variants including Sterling Silver, Imperial Gold, Ancient Copper, and specialty tones like Aged Metal and Obsidian Black.

Mecha & Sci-Fi

Vallejo Mecha Color is engineered for robots, mecha, and sci-fi vehicles with superior coverage, washes, and weathering effects in 17ml dropper bottles — compatible with Kotobukiya, Square Enix, and Takara Tomy model kits.

Weathering & Special Effects

Vallejo Weathering FX replicates mud textures, engine grime, fuel stains, and environmental wear in 40ml acrylic formulas. Vallejo Wash FX flows into panel lines and recesses with capillary action, drying matte for realistic shadow depth on armor, aircraft, and figures. Vallejo Pigment FX provides finely ground mineral powders in earth tones, rust, and chrome oxide for dry-application weathering on military vehicles and terrain. Vallejo Diorama FX delivers mud effects, water simulations, earth textures, and snow for realistic terrain and diorama building.

Specialty Paints

Vallejo Xpress Color combines basecoat and shading in a single application — a speed-painting system that delivers professional results with integrated shadows in 18ml dropper bottles. Vallejo Panzer Aces rounds out the specialty range with historically accurate flesh tones and uniform colors for WWII armor crews.

Surface Preparation & Finishing

Vallejo Acrylic Primers prepare surfaces in authentic military colors including German Dark Yellow, Russian Green, and Desert Tan, with metallic finishes for armor and aircraft. Vallejo Clear Coats protect finished models with gloss, matt, satin, and ultra-matt varnishes in brush-on, airbrush, and spray formats from 17ml to 400ml. Vallejo Spray Paints deliver 400ml aerosol primers and base colors including Panzer Grey, German Field Grey, and metallic finishes for fast, even coverage.

Mediums & Auxiliaries

Vallejo Thinners, Cleaners & Retarders include airbrush thinners, flow improvers, retarder mediums, glaze mediums, chipping mediums, and cleaners in sizes from 17ml to 200ml — essential for professional paint handling and airbrush maintenance.

Paint Sets

Vallejo Paint Sets offer curated color selections for specific modeling genres including Luftwaffe, US Navy, Soviet Air Force, German WWII armor, MERDC camouflage, and fantasy gaming — providing historically accurate palettes in convenient dropper-bottle sets.
