Vallejo Model Air 71412 VVS Grey Blue

Vallejo Model Air 71412 VVS Grey Blue (18 ml) is the VVS Grey Blue shade from the professional Vallejo Model Air range. Model Air paints are water-based acrylics developed for direct use with 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, cars, 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 touch-ups.

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.
