Paint set VALLEJO Ammo Oilbrushers Display N1 — 80 oil-based paints for model weathering and detailing

VALLEJO Ammo Oilbrushers Display N1 — 80 oil-based paints for model weathering and detailing provides a comprehensive palette of oil colours formulated for realistic weathering, shading and fine detail work on scale models, dioramas and miniatures. The set groups a wide range of tones from grime and rust shades to streaking and wash colours, allowing controlled application of oil effects that blend and dry slowly for extended working time. These oil paints are intended for use in model finishing stages where subtle tonal transitions, pin washes and streaking are needed to reproduce natural wear and environmental effects.

Advantages

The collection offers consistent oil-based pigments that maintain workability and slow drying, enabling smooth blending and feathering for subtle weathering. With eighty distinct colours, the set reduces the need for frequent colour mixing and supports quick selection of appropriate tones for metal, fabric, paint chips and environmental staining. The paints are presented in a display format that simplifies selection and storage, and the range is compatible with standard modelling workflows that use mineral spirits or specialised thinner for removal and blending.

Suitable for

• Scale model weathering on armour, vehicles, aircraft and ships
• Diorama groundwork and environmental staining
• Figure shading, skin tones and grime effects
• Pin washes, streaking effects and panel line highlighting
• Fine-detail touch-ups and texture simulation

How to use

Apply small amounts of oil paint with a fine brush to create pin washes, streaks or localized shading. Use mineral spirits or a suitable thinner on a brush or cloth to soften edges, blend colours and produce gradual transitions. For streaking effects, apply a narrow line of paint and pull it downwards with a clean brush dampened with thinner to simulate rain marks or oil drips. Allow adequate drying time between layers; drying speed depends on layer thickness and ambient conditions. Clean brushes with brush cleaner or solvent after use.

Usage recommendations

Work in a well-ventilated area and test colours on a scrap surface before applying to the finished model. Use thin layers and build up effects gradually to control intensity. For best results combine these oil paints with complementary acrylic or enamel base paints after those layers are fully cured.
