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

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.

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

Great quality

The only thing I have a, huh? Moment, is the floursent red, in other wise a set of metals and mineral finishes. And I am just curious about it, it's a great addition to my growing collection of Vallejo colors to use. Love the consistency and forgiving it can be if I paint an oops.

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).

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.

I uploaded a picture with the names of the color visible, since there weren't any. Just what I needed. Vallejo is really good paint for airbrushing. This paint is already thinned and ready to use although you can thin it down a little more if you desire. Really good paint for scale modeling.

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.
