Vallejo model air- would like feedback
Posted by rudedog on Sunday, November 23, 2008 12:50 PM
 Thanks to Mr.Lafleche I was able to find the source of my memory lapse & find the paint advertised as airbrush usable out of the bottle.But since no LHS sells Vallejo model air paints I'd like to hear of some 1st hand experiance's before ordering some online.I've always done it by eye balling it for my Aztek. I recently bought a Badger & am going to be using it stritly at a remote site away from home.So the idea of toting as little of my modelling paraphenalia as possible appeals to me greatly.Hence,pre-mixed air brush paint.Any advice on Vallejo's model air or any other like brands would be greatly appreciated.  thanks, keith

I use Model-air a lot, nice to just put it straight from the bottle into the airbrush. The doen side is that if you want to touch up with a brush then the paint is too thin. So all thouch-ups have to be done with an airbrush.

Much due to this I have started to go back to model color. Can use them both with a brush and an airbrush.

Thanks for the kwik reply smoffo [ as I was hoping to order some tommorrow if I liked what I heard ]. What you described about the touch up scenario shouldn't be too much of an issue as I still will have some of my basic Model Master & Tamiya military flats. I plan to use the Vallejo just for spraying the primer,base & finish coats on the main body components of whatever vehicle I'm building.    Again,thanks Michael ,   keith
