Acrylic Airbrush Paint VALLEJO Game Air Nocturnal Red 18 ml

VALLEJO Game Air Nocturnal Red 18 ml is an acrylic airbrush paint formulated for hobbyists and modelers who need reliable flow and consistent coverage from a ready-to-use bottle. Supplied in an 18 ml container, this colour is developed for airbrush application and is suitable for base coats, shading, glazing and fine layering on miniatures, scale models and diorama elements. The water-based acrylic formulation allows easy thinning, predictable atomization and quick drying under normal workshop conditions.

Advantages

This acrylic airbrush paint offers stable viscosity and smooth spray characteristics that reduce clogging and provide even coverage. Its formulation supports effortless thinning with water or compatible acrylic thinners without loss of pigmentation, allowing controlled transparency for layering and glazing. The quick-drying nature shortens working cycles while preserving detail on small-scale surfaces. The paint is compatible with typical airbrush equipment and with other acrylics from the same range for colour blending and modulation.

Suitable for

• Base coats on miniatures and figurines
• Gradients, shading and glazing techniques
• Scale models (vehicles, aircraft, scenery)
• Diorama elements and terrain painting
• Detailing and controlled layering with an airbrush

Key specifications

• Type: water-based acrylic airbrush paint
• Volume: 18 ml
• Finish: satin-to-matte when dry depending on layers
• Application method: airbrush; can be used with brush after thinning
• Thinning: compatible with water and acrylic thinners for airbrushing
• Drying time: fast-drying under normal workshop conditions

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to homogenize pigments. For airbrushing, thin the paint gradually with water or a compatible acrylic thinner to achieve the desired viscosity and atomization; typical airbrush ratios will depend on nozzle size and compressor pressure. Test spray on a palette or scrap surface and adjust thinning and pressure until you obtain a stable, even spray pattern. Apply multiple thin layers rather than a single heavy coat to preserve surface detail and avoid runs. Clean the airbrush regularly to prevent build-up.

Usage recommendations

Use at recommended compressor pressures for fine detail (typically low to medium psi) and allow each layer to dry before applying the next. For optimum results, store unopened bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and cap tightly after use to prevent contamination and drying.
