Can these be brushed on, and does it have to be sealed or just let it dry? Thanks

There are 8 colours 5 are just regular paints the other 3 are thinner more like a wash they can all be brushed on or airbrushed. Full instructions are included showing various techniques. I just let it dry and built up several coats over a few days to get the effect I wanted then just sealed with varnish. It's fun to use and easy to master. Hope this helps. Cris J.

The image shows both regular and airbrush paints; are both tyoes included in the set? The listing doesn't say.

The set is made up of various types. Some are airbrush ready but all can be used with brushes for detailing. The included instructions help to get the effect I was looking for.

Can the paint be thinned for use for airbrushing models?

Model Color range is for brush, but after adding thinner in ratio 50/50 can be used for airbrush. Model Air range is for airbrush directly. Martin www.airbrush-fengda.co.uk

Are the paints oil based? Thanks

The paints are acrylic so you can water as a solvent and so brushes can be cleaned in water. However acrylic is a kind of plastic so at the start of the process to make the acrylics then yes they are oil based.

Excellent product as usual, from Vallejo!

Used it once so far. Produces good results. Some good vids on YouTube showing how to use it. And I need all the help I can get. It does look the part, as long as you follow the ground rules. I tried to mix it up a bit on a Panther exhaust last night, and it looked like it was painted in a vague rust colour. It’s possible to get great results from what’s supplied. If I had a complaint ( and I haven’t!) it would be that some sort of texturising product be in the set. Well done Vallejo. Love your products.

The best acrylic paints for model kits

Excellent paint set for model kits and miniature figures. Vallejo are currently the largest paint range available and they are manufactured to the highest quality. The paints are acrylic and can be thinned with acrylic thinners or water. Brushes can be cleaned in warm soapy water. The paints are waterproof when dry and they provide an excellent base coat over which inks, thin acrylics, enamels or oils can be applied as a wash / shade / highlight. Matte of gloss varnish is needed to protect the finished artwork. This set has the colours needed to recreate rust and weather stains on buildings and vehicles.
