Acrylic Air Paint VALLEJO Game Air Ultramarine Blue 18 ml – model paint for airbrush

VALLEJO Game Air Ultramarine Blue is an 18 ml acrylic paint formulated for airbrush use on scale models, miniatures, dioramas and tabletop figures. The water-based formula provides stable pigmentation and smooth flow for even basecoats, glazing and subtle shading. Packaged in a convenient dropper bottle, this ultramarine blue offers good coverage and predictable behavior when thinned for airbrush spraying or applied in multiple transparent layers for color depth.

Advantages

This acrylic airbrush paint delivers consistent atomization and color strength when used with standard hobby airbrushes. Its water-reducible formulation enables easy thinning and cleanup without aggressive solvents. The paint dries to a satin finish that accepts further layering, washes and varnishes, making it suitable for both single-pass basecoats and advanced glazing techniques.

Suitable for

• Basecoating plastic and resin miniatures with an airbrush
• Applying smooth gradients and glazes on scale models
• Fast, consistent color application for tabletop gaming figures
• Layered shading and color modulation on diorama elements

How to use

Shake the bottle thoroughly before use. For airbrush application, thin the paint to the manufacturer’s recommended viscosity—typically by adding small amounts of water or a dedicated acrylic thinner until the paint flows smoothly through the airbrush without sputtering. Test spray on a spare surface and adjust air pressure and dilution to achieve the desired coverage. Apply in thin, even passes, allowing each layer to dry before adding subsequent coats or details.

Usage recommendations

Prime the miniature with a suitable primer to improve adhesion and color fidelity. Use low to medium air pressure for controlled atomization and apply multiple thin layers rather than a single heavy coat to avoid obscuring fine details. Clean the airbrush thoroughly after use with water or airbrush cleaner to prevent clogging.
