Paint Review: Vallejo Model Air

Vallejo Model Air is surprisingly good paint for brushing. Needs some Windex, though.

Summary

To misquote Mark Twain, Vallejo Model Air is “better than it looks.” This is a good paint for brushing, but it needs some additives to overcome some pretty significant problems. I recommend Windex window cleaner. The ordinary blue stuff. Add 3ml of Windex to a full bottle of Model Air. This translates into three “eyedroppers” if you have a regular little eyedropper, or a half-teaspoon if your Mom lets you use the measuring tools.

    1. I’m still trying to figure out how to use my new plugin. Right now, if you want a list of paint reviews, click on “paint review” under “Categories” over on the right of the main screen.
