Product details
Brand: Vallejo
Matt and opaque acrylic colors with highest pigment concentration in a water-based formula, especially developed for brush-on application. The Model Color range is very extensive and includes basic shades as well as many references developed by our experts for use on historical figures as well as the specific colors employed for all types of vehicles, planes and military models. The assortment includes a selection of glazes, transparent and fluorescent colors used for achieving special effects. It is recommended to apply the colors on a surface which has first been primed; the colors dry rapidly and form a self-leveling, homogenous paint film, equally perfect for large surfaces as for the most miniature details of the model. Model Color performs exceptionally well on all surfaces, with extraordinary adherence on resin, plastics, steel and white metal. Tools and brushes are cleaned with water. Safety: Model Color is not flammable, and does not contain solvents. Please see also certified safety information of the product on the Safety page. Packaging: Model color is presented in bottles of 17 ml./0.57 fl.oz. with eyedropper. This packaging prevents the paint from evaporating and drying in the container, so that It can be used in minimal quantities and preserved for a long time.

It is Vallejo paint and even though I am fairly new to modelling it seems pretty good to me. Following some youtube tips I do water it down a little to paint my models using multiple coats to minimise leaving visible brush strokes. I have to admit I do not have a wide experience with other similar types of acrylic paints, I did use Citadel paints many years ago, so long ago I cannot remember much about them to compare. As the saying goes "Ronseal, Does exactly what it says on the tin" Only they aren't Ronseal, and they don't come in a tin, just a plastic bottle. Being a paint, like other paints, you smear it onto your chosen item making its colour change to the colour of your paint, unless you used a different paint first and didn't wait for it to dry. Then it becomes kind of a messy streaky blend of the colour underneath and the new colour you are applying. The label says it is 'White' it is a whiteish-white colour that is totally white and gives an overall white colour to anything you smear it on. Just for the record (total disclosure), this is NOT blue and smearing it onto things you want to be blue will not make them blue... it is white only.
