VallejoModel Air Set - Luftwaffe Pre-War to 1941, 17 ml (Pack of 8)

A perfect set of paints for WW2 Luftwaffe aircraft up to 1941 - certainly a great starting place before you expand the collection. For me this was ideal as work overseas and had a couple of model aircraft to make and didn't have time to go out and find all the correct colours. And whilst one can research on and on until you get every little colour detail correct, I'm not a rivet counter and look to the overall finish not the exact minutae.That being said, these colours matched exactly as far as I could determine the camouflage on the Heinkel He111 in various pictures I looked at so I'd say Vallejo pretty much nailed this set. You will of course need some additional colours such as metallic aluminium and stainless steel plus a primer, but with these plus this set you've covered quite a range.Now, I tend to use Vallejo for a couple of reasons. Firstly, they are superbly packaged and I love the bottles. Such a huge leap over the old Humbrol tins of my yoof. Secondly they are water based acrylics so I don't have to worry about airport security when travelling. Non toxic of course if you have young children who participate.In use they flow beautifully and work perfectly as they are designed to in an airbrush. The only downside is that if you need to do a bit of brush work with the same colours these are a bit thin and don't work well for that. It's doable but takes far more time so you do need standard non-airbrush ready paints as well.Overall a great set from my favourite paint makers.

I already had this set of paints but knowing I'd ordered a 1/32nd Stuka kit by Trumpeter coupled with the fact the price had dropped to only £15.50 it was a no-brainer.Great paint set from Vallejo and no messing about finding the correct colours seperatly.

This model air paint set was very good, ideal for spraying good value for money

Perfect colour selection for this period, the colors seem accurate and dry to a nice finish. Sprayed with a 0.2 and 0.3mm needle I have found no need to thin as the formula and fine pigment is just a joy to use.
