Paint - VALLEJO Game Air Sun Yellow 18 ml - model airbrush acrylic paint

VALLEJO Game Air Sun Yellow 18 ml is an acrylic airbrush paint formulated for model making, miniatures and scale models. Supplied in a compact 18 ml bottle, this thinned paint is designed to deliver even flow and consistent pigmentation through airbrush systems, making it suitable for base coats, highlighting and smooth blends on plastic, resin and metal model surfaces.

Advantages

The formulation provides stable viscosity for airbrush application without the need for further thinning in most systems, ensuring smooth coverage and reduced clogging. Pigmentation is balanced to offer good opacity at thin layers while remaining workable for glazing and layering techniques. The paint dries to a uniform finish that accepts additional layers, washes and varnishes commonly used in scale modelling workflows.

Suitable for

• Airbrushing base coats and highlights on miniatures and scale models
• Layering and glazing techniques for model painting
• Finishing details on plastic, resin and metal miniatures
• Color matching and blending when building dioramas and scenery

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to homogenize pigments. Apply with a properly adjusted airbrush at low to medium air pressure; typical pressures range depending on nozzle size and personal preference. Test spray on a palette or scrap material to check flow and coverage. Apply thin, even passes, allowing short drying intervals between layers to build opaque coverage or gradual highlights. Clean the airbrush thoroughly after use with suitable cleaner or water to prevent drying in the nozzle.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, use on primed model surfaces and allow each layer to dry before applying washes or varnishes. If heavier coverage is required, apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat. Store the bottle capped in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
