Paint Vallejo Ammo Oilbrusher Mecha Light Green 10 ml

Vallejo Ammo Oilbrusher Mecha Light Green 10 ml is an oil-based model paint formulated for hobbyists working with scale models, miniatures and model kits. The 10 ml tube contains a smooth, brushable oil paint designed to deliver even coverage on plastic, resin and metal surfaces. The Oilbrusher formula balances flow and viscosity to allow both airbrush application and detailed brushwork for base coats, shading and mechanical weathering effects.

Advantages

The oil formulation provides extended open time for blending and subtle shading without drying too quickly. Its consistency makes it suitable for thin, controlled layers as well as thicker washes for panel lines and grime. Compatible with common modelling surfaces, this light green hue integrates well with acrylic undercoats and enamel washes when layered correctly, enabling stepwise weathering and tonal variation.

Suitable for

• Base coats and mid-tones on mecha and vehicle models
• Shading, panel line accentuation and pin washes
• Mechanical weathering: streaks, grime and subtle corrosion effects
• Detailing on plastic, resin and metal miniatures

How to use

Shake the tube or stir thoroughly before use to ensure pigment and binder are fully mixed. For airbrush application, thin the paint gradually with a compatible oil thinner until the desired flow and atomisation are achieved; test on a scrap surface first. For brushwork, apply in thin layers and allow sufficient open time for blending; use gentle strokes to create smooth transitions. Remove excess with a clean brush or thinner if necessary. Allow adequate drying time between layers before sealing or overcoating with compatible varnishes.

Usage recommendations

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use appropriate ventilation when airbrushing or applying thinners. When mixing with other products, perform a small test to confirm compatibility and drying behaviour.
