Acrylic Model Color - 72 Basic Colors Set

The Vallejo Basic Colors Set is a comprehensive kit for model painters. It includes 72 Vallejo Model Color paints, 3 brushes, and a color chart with conversion charts for most paint manufacturers. All the paints come in 17ml eyedropper bottles and are acrylics from Acrylicos Vallejo.

These water-based paints are non-toxic and non-flammable, making them safe to use. They are specially formulated to adhere to plastics and polyesters, making them versatile for all surfaces. The colors brush on smoothly, covering large areas easily without showing brushstrokes. They are also perfect for detailing miniature artwork.

The transparent colors in the set provide a brilliant finish and can be used for tinting surfaces without hiding underlying characteristics, such as wood grains. They are ideal for creating effects like headlights on models. When mixed with Mat Medium, they can be used to tint airplane or car windows for a smoked glass effect.

Model Color paints can be diluted with water or mixed with each other for custom shades. They do not contain solvents or lead pigments, making them safe for health and the environment. Plus, any errors can be corrected immediately with water or a small amount of alcohol.

The consistency of Model Color allows for a smooth and uniform finish without brushstrokes. Professional model painters often dilute the paint with water or Mat Medium and apply multiple thin layers to achieve depth and shadows. The paints can also be diluted with other mediums for various effects.

The water-based formula of Model Color is specially designed to adhere to difficult surfaces like metal and plastic. While the colors dry quickly to a matte, waterproof finish, true permanence is achieved after several weeks as the water content evaporates. The set is perfect for models and miniatures, offering highly pigmented colors that can be mixed to create custom shades.
