Paint VALLEJO Oilbrusher Marine Blue 10 ml — acrylic oil-based model paint

VALLEJO Oilbrusher Marine Blue 10 ml is an oil-based model paint formulated for both airbrush and brush application. Part of the Oilbrusher range, this 10 ml bottle contains finely ground pigments suspended in a slow-drying, acrylic-compatible medium that allows controlled flow, precise detailing and gradual layering on scale models, miniatures and dioramas. The Marine Blue shade provides a deep, saturated blue suitable for naval subjects, aircraft markings and weathering effects where subtle tonal variation is required.

Advantages

This paint combines the viscosity and blending properties of traditional oil paints with a formulation designed to work alongside acrylic-based hobby systems. Its slow drying time permits extended working and feathering for realistic weathering, washes and glazes. The Oilbrusher consistency supports smooth airbrush application at low pressure and even brush strokes for fine detail. The pigments are designed to provide consistent tinting with good coverage in thin layers while maintaining compatibility with acrylic primers and varnishes when fully cured.

Suitable for

• Scale model base coats and panel tones on ships, tanks and aircraft
• Weathering, washes and streaking effects on miniatures and dioramas
• Precise detail work, highlights and glazing where slow drying is beneficial
• Airbrush application at low pressure and brushed techniques for small parts

Key specifications

• Volume: 10 ml bottle
• Color: Marine Blue (deep saturated blue)
• Type: Oil-based pigment in an acrylic-compatible medium
• Drying characteristics: Slow drying, suitable for blending and glazing
• Application methods: Airbrush and brush

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use to ensure pigments are evenly suspended. For airbrushing, thin the paint if necessary with a compatible thinner to achieve the desired flow and reduce clogging; test on scrap material and adjust pressure and thinning accordingly. For brush work, apply thin layers, allowing time for surface tack reduction before additional glazing or layering. Because of the slower drying time, allow longer intervals between steps compared with acrylics and ensure adequate ventilation when working.

Usage recommendations

Use on primed surfaces designed for scale models; avoid applying directly to unprepared plastics. Allow full cure before applying acrylic varnishes or overpainting with fast-drying systems. Clean tools with appropriate solvents after use and store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, stable environment.
