Vallejo Metallic Set Model Air Paint, 17ml, Multicolor, (Pack of 16)

According to my teen son, these are the only acceptable brand. He loves them for the high quality and the ease of use with his airbrush. The colors are great and go on smoothly. Highly recommend.

The first thing to note about buying Vallejo paints from Amazon is that for some reason the listings are not all accurate, which leads to confusion on what you are actually buying. It appears that some listings have the wrong picture and / or description, so what you see or read about may not actually be the information for the set you chose by the title. You can also find different descriptions depending on whether you are using a mobile device or browser to view the item. I can often see the colors in the set listed in the description on the mobile app, but never if I am using a browser, but the mobile listings are not always accurate either. That said, every purchase I have made I have received the TITLED item, regardless of picture or description. I suggest downloading a catalog from Vallejo which includes their colors at time of publication and the sets they offer with their contents clearly listed, then buy them BY TITLE from Amazon. So far, this has worked for me for several purchases. As far as the paints go, I was an old fashioned modeler, I insisted on using the old enamel products for years, but they were getting harder to find, and I hated the amount of waste I had if I used an airbrush by the time I used an eye dropper to extract and thin the paint for spraying. Not to mention that thinning the enamels would often times cause a slight change in the actual color that laid down on the model, so if you later did any touch up by brush, or a different coat, it could lead to different shades of paint. So I ended up getting into a few acrylic paints and washes over time for shades I couldn't find any other way, but then I had to make sure everything was fully cured or sealed before swapping from enamel to acrylic or I would end up with a nasty mess and ruined model. This all led me to trying this "Model Air" line by Vallejo, and I am sold! They are so easy to spray without the need to thin them down. If I am doing a large surface I will use some Flow Improver to keep the air brush from drying up on me, but I use the recommend 2 drops of improver to 10 drops paint, so it doesn't change the color at all and is very easy to duplicate. The dropper bottles are awesome, I have MUCH less waste, no more lids drying on the bottle either since they clean easy and and are plastic so the don't 'glue' themselves together. They also dry very fast, so buy the time I am done with the first coat on the entire project the first pieces are typically ready for the second coat. Lastly, they brush well for touch up or small areas too. I will also note that they have handy storage solutions that work great and help keep your hobby area organized, just be careful when putting them together. And their Primers are great and easy to spray through an airbrush too.

Good paint, makes a good addition to basic sets. Good coverage. No issues with vendor.

Excellent paints that can be used both with an airbrush and manual hand brush. Most of them are probably diluted for use even with low-cost airbrushs, but the metallic ones should be further diluted sometimes. As usual with Vallejo, they dry well and good quality. The Fluorescent Red is actually closer to orange and is non-metalic and flat as you can see in the second image (the engine).

everything was as advertised. The product was great, I gave it four stars because of the cheap packaging. If they hadn't skimmed you could've used the shipping tray as a storage tray, instead it's just packaging trash.

I actually don't use this much with an airbrush, I use these more as detail FX paints. As in, if I want a metallic object to look worn down or scratched up, I use this with a q-tip around edges or self-made damages. For this purpose it's great in what I do. Either way, it's a nice variety and works well with my airbrush whenever I have used it with these.

This is only one coat of the Arctic blue (primed with Vallejo grey primer first). The paint laid down smooth and looks amazing. I usually use Creatix but now Vallejo is my new favorite. Small bottles but the colors and the way they dry are worth it. I used my Iwata Eclipse at 18 PSI for the picture. I did not thin but used straight from the bottle.

A good selection of colors, great quality and easy to use

Super lot de peintures métalliques, les couleurs sont vraiment éclatantes et faciles à travailler avec l’aérographe. Parfait pour donner un rendu pro à mes figurines. Franchement, une belle découverte, je recommande !

Die Farben sind kräftig, lassen sich hervorragend verarbeiten und es ist die typische Vallejo Qualität. Jederzeit wieder.

Nice paints, but the model air sets usually offer poor selections of colours (mostly assembled for niche-purposes like painting a tank or what not)

Ni lo pidan porque la aduana no lo permite dehecho si no se puede importar no lo deberian de ofrecer

Vallejo no deja de sorprender en calidad y variedad con estas pinturas de efectos metálicos puedes dar rienda suelta a tus pinturas o restaurar objetos viejos.
