Vallejo Game Air 72748 Sombre Grey (17ml)

Vallejo Game Air 72748 Sombre Grey (18 ml) is the somber grey shade from the Vallejo Game Air range. Game Air are water-based acrylic paints prepared for airbrush and designed mainly for fantasy, sci-fi, and wargaming miniatures.

The paints have fine pigment, good coverage, and a consistency suitable for smoothly spraying thin layers. They are useful for quick base coating of figures, color transitions, shading larger areas, and for working on wargaming armies where speed and shade repeatability are important.

Shake the paint thoroughly before use. Usually, it can be used directly from the bottle, but depending on the nozzle, pressure, and desired fineness, you can adjust it with Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver. For a more durable result on figures, we recommend working on a primed surface and protecting the finished model with varnish.
