Product Review
The Model Air colors are manufactured with permanent fine arts pigments, and formulated especially for air brushing. The extremely fine milling of the pigments provides the model painter with the assurance of an even and smooth paint film, allowing for many coats of color. Colors can be mixed with one another, diluted with water, Model Air Thinner or Varnish or even alcohol, according to the effect desired, but we recommend the use of Model Air Thinner since this product conserves the properties of the colors.
- Wash FX, formulated washes with water base and matte finish. It offers a new interpretation of the aging process. A wash is a very diluted color, with high capillarity, which is used to highlight the details and panels of the models in order to create a contrast usually produced by wear and tear and dirt of climatic or operational origin
- The versatility of Wash FX allows its use as a spot wash, to recreate shadow and dirt effects around details such as rivets or panel lines. It can be used as a filter, applied evenly over a part of the model, to vary the background shade. Recommended for models painted in gray and dark colors, perfect for rain marks and small details “pin wash”
- Wash FX dries very fast and allows the painting or weathering process to continue about 20 minutes after application. It can be used with brush or airbrush
- You can also work these effects with water, but the best results will be obtained by working with our thinner range, for blending effects, removing brush marks, increase capillarity or blurring strokes, without damaging the base layers of color or previous color base coats or previous effects, after a complete drying process of 24 hours
- Note: The brand Vallejo is currently in the process of rebranding, therefore, for a period of time, it is possible that you may receive the product with either the new packaging or the old packaging
