Vallejo Model Air Metallic Effects Acrylic Paint Set for Air Brush - Assorted Colours (Pack of 16),17 ml

This set contains all 12 metallic paints in the Model Air range, plus three paints that could be used for rust and a medium grey that could be used to reduce the intensity of the metals if you want a duller, less shiny look.The coverage of these paints is quite variable. Aluminium, Chrome, Steel, Silver, Gunship Grey and Arctic Blue have exceptional coverage even by hand, while Bright Brass and Gold are actually quite poor. The rest of the paints are about typical for Model Air in this regard (except for fluro orange, which has poor coverage but that is to be expected of a fluorescent paint!)One thing I noted is that some of the bottles are in the new Vallejo style with new branding (18ml, transparent casing, made of recycled plastic with a thicker 'spout') while the rest are in the classic style.

This is a great way to build up your Vallejo paints set.I use these for brushed detail work, and also for airbrushing, they work perfectly for both, without any thinning required. The thinner formulation for detail keeps the metallic content higher than when thinning regular paints, these metallic look great whatever you are doing with them, and really pop when you go over them with a gloss or semi gloss varnish. for Matt finishes, use over the matt varnish if you want to retain the metallic sheen,Sadly, the Signal red is the usual Orangy pinky metallic red you will find from any model paint manufacturer, deep metallic reds only seem possible using a candy coat.

A good variety of hue's and superb consistency

perfect for what my granddaughter needed t make all her comic con accessories

The silver paints in this range are outstanding. Easily the best silver miniature paint I've ever worked with. However, the golds in this range leave a lot to be desired.My favourites in this range are Alluminium and the Metallic Black. You can create a lot of interesting contracting metallic effects just with those two paints.

I got these as a gift for a family member who is into their model building and painting. These are a good set as come in a range of different colors and can be used on most types of plastics and models ranging from transport type models to even Gundam models if you want to make your own personal touch to them.

I love these colours. They make any model or figure pop. I used them for a model of a 1969 VW Beetle, loads of chrome and they look amazing. Buying this set of paints works out a lot cheaper than buying individual paint pots.

These are very easy too use mix well cover well best to spray in lite layers then the Finnish is first class easy way to learn how to airbrush
