## Description

Product Description 8 different highly pigmented Model Air acrylic colors, each in 17ml plastic eye dropper bottles: Silver (71063), Steel (71065), Gold (71066), Bright Brass (71067), Copper (71068), Artic Blue (71071), Gun (71072) and Gunmetal Metallizer (71073). From the Manufacturer Acrylicos Vallejo The Vallejo Company was registered in New Jersey, U.S.A., in the year 1965. In these early years it specialized in the manufacture of colors for animated films (cartoons). The most sustained expansion of Vallejo started in the nineties, beginning with the introduction of new products directed at the Model painting and Hobby sector. The company became the first specialist in acrylic colors, with a long and varied experience in all aspects of this branch of manufacturing. Model Air Paint The formula contains a new acrylic resin with properties until now impossible to obtain in a waterbased acrylic. The resistance, hardness and covering power of Model Air is superior to any known acrylic for airbrushing. Model Air is presented in a 17 ml. bottle with eyedropper. This packaging prevents the paint from evaporating and drying in the container.

Review: Great paint for model kit - Worked well with my revell plane. It doesn't slide off the model and adheres perfectly. Used with an airbrush and brush.
Review: Good product - Good coverage, nice colors. Smooth finish when dry.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Received ACTUAL metallic paints here!
*by P***L on January 22, 2026*

Firstly, I received actual metallic paints here. After some hesitation reading the reviews of others receiving standard paints, I ordered them to give it a go since I had the option to return them. Overall, great quality, didn't have to thin these almost at all with the airbrush.
