Vallejo Model Air Set Unboxing and Review

[musoseven]

Thanks for sharing this info and taking the time to go through it. I think its great value. Also as Im short on time and energy, it's helpful to have paints correctly thinned (I have thinned/made my own paints in the past, but it takes time and can go horribly wrong - not great if youre short on time, energy etc). Painting and modelling is supposed to be therapeutic after all. I much prefer to airbrush too (over rattle cans), there are some good rattle can brands out there but in Blighty the quality can be variable (changing of nozzle types and recipes for the paint itself) and in the winter it's much easier to airbrush acrylics indoors with a small spray booth, especially at low pressure, and especially if the airbrush is easy to clean too, Eg H&S or Gaahleri GHAD39, or at a push Paasche.

Totally agree with you regarding these pre-diluted paints. They are brilliant! I bought a cheapo airbrush and compressor combo from Amazon for around £50, and this exact set of paints. This was my third throw of the dice with airbrushing and the previous two airbrushes ended up in the bin. I could never get the mix of the paint right, which led either to a clogging head, a splatter kind of spray if too thick, or paint runs if too thin and generally a huge hill of pain. But even with a cheap airbrush which I have used for a month now, no clogs, no runs and a consistent finish every time. I would highly recommend Vallejo's airbrush cleaner too as it takes away the fuss of a messy clean-up afterwards. I have a SAGUD cleaning canister - also from Amazon, and just squirt some cleaner into the paint reservoir of the airbrush then spray through two or three times into the cannister and it is job done!
