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

Set of metallic paint, has what I needed for scale aircraft modelling, not sure that I'll ever use the metallic colours but maybe I'll try a car kit one day. Usual valao quality and fast service.

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.

A good variety of hue's and superb consistency

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.

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.

The paint is pretty good, and the bottles are way better than Revells square pots, but they need to employ a bottle tightener. I see I am not alone and others have experienced the same. Two of my bottles had very loose lids and deposited a blend of two colours all in the box. I had to wash them and the plastic insert under running water. And then the labels started lifting. I think the manufacturer needs to review its QA department.

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

too many of the colours are similar and most of these have zero use cases.

Super lot de peintures métalliques, les couleurs sont vraiment éclatantes et faciles à travailler avec l’aérographe. Parfait pour donner un rendu pro à mes figurines. Franchement, une belle découverte, je recommande !

Die Farben sind kräftig, lassen sich hervorragend verarbeiten und es ist die typische Vallejo Qualität. Jederzeit wieder.

Nice paints, but the model air sets usually offer poor selections of colours (mostly assembled for niche-purposes like painting a tank or what not)

Ni lo pidan porque la aduana no lo permite dehecho si no se puede importar no lo deberian de ofrecer
