Vallejo Game Air 76012 Scarlet Red Color (18 ml)

Vallejo Game Air 76012 Scarlet Red Color (18 ml) is a shade of scarlet red from the Vallejo Game Air line. Game Air paints are water-based acrylics formulated for airbrushing and designed primarily for fantasy, sci-fi, and wargaming miniatures.

The paints feature fine pigments, good coverage, and a consistency suitable for smooth spraying of thin layers. They are ideal for quickly priming figures, creating color gradients, shading larger areas, and working on wargaming armies, where speed and color consistency are essential.

Shake the paint thoroughly before use. It can usually be applied straight from the bottle, but depending on the nozzle, pressure, and desired consistency, you can adjust it with Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver. For a more durable finish on miniatures, we recommend priming the surface first and protecting the finished model with varnish.
