Review: Great All-Rounder - Pros: • Airbrush-Ready: The paints are pre-thinned and work flawlessly with my airbrush, providing smooth and even coverage without the need for additional thinning. • Versatile Application: While designed for airbrushing, these paints also perform well with traditional brush techniques, offering flexibility in application. • Vibrant Colours: The set includes a well-curated selection of basic colours that are highly pigmented, ensuring vibrant and consistent results. • User-Friendly: The dropper bottles are convenient, allowing for precise dispensing and minimising waste. • Low Odour and Easy Cleanup: Being water-based, these paints have minimal odour and clean up easily with water, making them ideal for indoor use. Cons: • Drying Time: Some colours take longer to dry, which can be a minor inconvenience during extended painting sessions. • Colour Range: While the set covers basic colors, it lacks certain shades like bright oranges and yellows, which may require additional purchases for specific projects. Overall, the Vallejo Model Air Basic Paint Set offers excellent quality and value, especially for those new to airbrushing or seeking reliable paints for various modeling projects. Its ease of use and consistent performance make it a worthwhile investment for hobbyists and professionals alike.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can these paints  be used on fabric**
A: they can be used on fabric as long as you use a stencil and a bit of distance or it will bleed , remember to hot iron and it will stay forever

**Q: Can these paints be used on an rc car**
A: I suppose they could be.
I would prime the shell first then after applying the paint, apply a polyurethane varnish (Matt or gloss depending on the finish you want) for a more hard wearing top coat (Vallejo make both)

**Q: Are these for use with a compressor airbrush**
A: Hi.
       The Vallejo Model Air range are for use with an airbrush.
Regards...
                   Steve.

**Q: Can these paints be used on canvas material and interior painted walls**
A: I can't see why not if you print the canvas and then seal. I used them on a wood table after priming and sealing and worked great.
