## Long description

VALLEJO Model Air 71.152 – Air War IJA Colors is an acrylic model paint set containing eight 18 ml bottles formulated to reproduce Imperial Japanese Army aircraft colors from the pre-war period up to 1945. These Model Air paints are water-based and specifically designed for airbrush application, offering fine pigmentation and a low-viscosity flow that supports accurate scale colour matching, smooth layers, and controlled weathering effects on plastic and resin model kits.
Advantages
The set provides a curated palette of historically referenced shades intended for Imperial Japanese Army aircraft, enabling consistent colour accuracy across multiple components and kits. Model Air formulation delivers smooth atomization through airbrushes, quick drying times compared with enamel alternatives, and easy thinning with water or designated acrylic thinner. Bottles are compact and practical for hobby use, and the paints are compatible with common primers and varnishes used in scale modelling.
Suitable for
Airbrushing scale plastic and resin model aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Army (pre-war to 1945)
Layered base coats, post-shading and subtle weathering techniques
Touch-ups and small repair work on model surfaces
Modellers seeking historically referenced colour schemes for dioramas and display models
When it may not be suitable
These paints are formulated primarily for airbrush use; while they can be applied by brush for small details, brush application may require additional thinning and careful technique to avoid brush marks. For projects requiring very high chemical resistance or long-term outdoor exposure, additional protective varnishing or alternative paint chemistries may be preferable.
Key specifications
Paint type: water-based acrylic
Formulation: low-viscosity, airbrush-ready
Volume per bottle: 18 ml
Number of colours: 8
Suitable substrates: plastic, resin, and previously primed surfaces
Drying behavior: fast-drying under typical modelling conditions
How to use
Shake bottles well before use to ensure uniform pigment suspension. For airbrush application, use paints as supplied for some systems or thin with water or an acrylic thinner to achieve the desired spray viscosity, typically to the consistency recommended by your airbrush manufacturer. Apply thin, even passes, allowing short drying intervals between coats. For brush work, thin the paint more than for airbrushing and apply multiple thin layers rather than a single thick coat. After painting, protect the finish with appropriate varnish or clear coats once fully dry.
What to consider before purchase
Intended application method: airbrush-optimized formulation
Compatibility with your primer and topcoat products
Need for additional thinners, varnishes, or cleaning fluids
Colour reference needs for the specific Imperial Japanese Army scheme you are recreating
Usage recommendations
Use a fine nozzle airbrush (0.2–0.4 mm) for detailed aircraft work, thin progressively until you obtain a smooth atomization, and build colour with multiple light passes. Allow adequate flash-off time between layers and seal the painted surface with a matte or satin varnish suited to scale finishes to protect colours and enhance weathering techniques.
