Vallejo Model Air 71402 UK BSC 49 Light Purple Brown

Vallejo Model Air 71402 UK BSC 49 Light Purple Brown (18 ml) is the shade UK BSC 49 Light Purple Brown from the professional Vallejo Model Air range. Model Air are water-based acrylic paints developed for direct use in an airbrush. The paints are finely pigmented, well-dispersed, and ready for immediate spraying without complex preparation.

The range is suitable for plastic models of aircraft, military vehicles, ships, vehicles, figures, and dioramas. When applied in thin layers, it creates a smooth surface without unnecessary application marks and is well-suited for base coats, camouflage, fine gradients, and minor repairs.

Shake the paint thoroughly before use. It can usually be used directly from the bottle, but depending on the nozzle, pressure, and desired spray fineness, you can adjust it with Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver.
