Review: Perfect Airbrush Acrylic - As always the Vallejo acrylic for airbrushes is superb out of the bottle with great coverage and the ideal mix for your airbrush. My love of Vallejo after returning to the hobby was founded on the neat and bottles. What's not to love. Easy to use, prevents spillage and the paint remains in useable condition all the way to the bottom. No gunky stuff around the edge of the tin for me. One thing to remember is that these are utterly useless if you intend using a brush as well. This does rather mean that for some colours you will need both the standard which can be brushed (and thinned of course) and this pre-mix for airbrush. Now, I do use the standard paints and thin them for air but honestly? These pre-mix versions are much better. I've found that they are far less likely to gunk up your airbrush especially with the finer nozzles. Overall another excellent Vallejo product. Review: has a nice fragrance (that I think is vanilla - I was thinking of how I could make an 2,000 word review, for paint. I just can't. It's model paint, made by Vallejo, pre-thinned to be used for an airbrush. It dries quickly, has a nice fragrance (that I think is vanilla?), and goes a long way. I also find myself cleaning out the dropper bottles and throwing other branded paints into them (after thinning them down with Vallejo airbrush thinner), then slapping a homemade label on them stating shade and mixtures. I've been using Vallejo model/game air paints since I first picked up a cheap AB+compressor kit and basic as well as metallic sets--restocking and building collections of shades along the way. I usually have my compressor set between 15-20 PSI. I highly recommend Vallejo, maybe even over Tamiya. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 14 years.

Buy a tin of Humbrol enamel - MET 56 (ALUMINIUM) - this is close to a real aluminium finish if it's only for scratches and not much larger areas. It will dry to a strong surface. That is what I would do anyway . **Q: is it possible to buy just 1?, I don't need 6 bottles of the same color** A: I did buy just one. **Q: Is this the equivalent of Humbrol 140 model paint and is this Vallejo 992 or is 992 available on Amazon thanks** A: Yes It's Water baced **Q: Is this suitable for Diecast metal** A: Yes, it will adhere to metal. Probably best sprayed through an airbrush if available (otherwise I would personally use a rattle can primer) but should also work brushed on albeit may take a few coats. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Airbrush Acrylic *by M***M on 7 December 2019* As always the Vallejo acrylic for airbrushes is superb out of the bottle with great coverage and the ideal mix for your airbrush.
