Hobby Paint Medium/Additive 100 ml, Army Painter AW2001P, plastic bottle dispenser

Army Painter Hobby Paint Medium/Additive 100 ml (AW2001P) is a water-based acrylic medium supplied in a plastic dispenser bottle. It is formulated to thin and modify acrylic hobby paints without changing pigment strength, improving flow and consistency for brushwork and airbrush applications. The medium supports techniques such as glazing, blending and controlled layering by adjusting viscosity and surface behaviour while maintaining colour integrity.

Advantages

This medium functions as both a thinner and a flow improver, allowing smoother application and reduced brushstrokes or airbrush clogging. The 100 ml plastic dispenser provides controlled dosing to avoid spills and waste. It is compatible with The Army Painter Warpaints and with other high-quality acrylic hobby paints, offering versatility when switching between brush and airbrush techniques.

Suitable for

• Thinning acrylic hobby paints for airbrushing
• Improving paint flow for smooth brush glazing and blending
• Adjusting viscosity for detailed miniature work
• Mixing with other high-quality acrylic paints to alter handling

Key specifications

• Volume: 100 ml
• Base: water-based acrylic medium
• Container: plastic dispenser bottle with precision dropper
• Function: thinner and flow improver for acrylic paints

How to use

Add small amounts of the medium to acrylic hobby paints and mix thoroughly until the desired viscosity and flow are achieved. For airbrush use, progressively thin the paint and test spray on a scrap surface to determine proper atomization; avoid over-thinning. For brush techniques such as glazing and blending, incorporate the medium in controlled ratios to extend open time and reduce brush drag. Close the dispenser cap after use to preserve the medium.

Usage recommendations

Use incremental additions and test on a sample before applying to models. Clean brushes and airbrush components with appropriate water-based cleaner after use. Store upright in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of children.
