Description

Vallejo Model Air is pre-thinned for application by airbrush, although depending on your setup you may find you need to add a little thinner or flow improver. With pigments that are ground more finely than most paints, they are also the perfect blend for modellers who prefer to brush paint.

Set of 8 17ml Model Air colours, developed for painting the camouflage patterns of most of the aircraft of the US ARMY AIR CORPS deployed in the China/Burma/India (CBI) Theater of Operations, as well as in the Pacific Campaign during WWII.
