Vallejo Model Air 71413 A-18F Light Blue

Vallejo Model Air 71413 A-18F Light Blue (18 ml) is the shade A-18F Light Blue from the professional Vallejo Model Air range. Model Air paints are water-based acrylics developed for direct use in airbrushes. 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, smooth transitions, and minor repairs.

Shake the bottle 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 using Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver.
