Paint bottle VALLEJO Game Air Athena Skin 18 ml - airbrush acrylic model paint

VALLEJO Game Air Athena Skin is an 18 ml bottle of airbrush-ready acrylic model paint formulated for realistic skin tones on miniatures and figures. Part of the VALLEJO Game Air series, this water-based paint is designed for fine atomization with airbrushes, producing smooth, consistent coverage for basecoats, layering and subtle blending. It dries quickly, is compatible with common modeling primers and varnishes, and is suitable for controlled applications on plastic, resin and metal model surfaces.

Advantages

This acrylic paint offers good pigment concentration and flow optimized for airbrush use, resulting in even, streak-free coats at low pressure. Its water-based formula enables easy thinning and cleanup with water, while retaining colour stability and adhesion on primed model surfaces. Quick drying time reduces waiting between layers, and compatibility with standard modeling primers and varnishes simplifies integration into established painting workflows.

Suitable for

• Airbrushing basecoats and layered skin tones on miniatures and figures
• Blending and glazing to achieve realistic flesh effects
• Applying controlled thin coats on plastic, resin and metal miniatures

Key specifications

• Volume: 18 ml
• Type: Water-based acrylic formulated for airbrush use
• Finish: Matte to satin when varnished with typical model varnishes
• Drying: Quick-drying under normal hobby conditions
• Compatibility: Works with common primers, thinners and varnishes used in scale modelling

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use. Thin the paint if necessary with appropriate airbrush thinner or water to achieve the desired viscosity for your airbrush and pressure settings; typical thinning ratios vary by setup. Test spray on a palette or scrap material to confirm atomization, then apply multiple thin, even coats rather than a single heavy coat to avoid runs and loss of detail. Allow each layer to dry before applying the next. After painting, clean the airbrush and tools with water or airbrush cleaner.

Usage recommendations

For best results use at low to medium air pressure and apply in several thin layers to build smooth skin tones. Prime miniatures with a compatible fine-grain primer to improve adhesion and preserve detail. Store the bottle tightly closed away from direct sunlight and frost.
