Vallejo70109 Model Color WWII Allies Acrylic Paint Set - Assorted Colours (Pack of 16) X17ml

I tried this as an experiment, having tried other acrylic paints in the past and always reverted to enamel. Modern enamel paint often requires more than one coat and can take a long time to dry. This paint covers in one coat, is touch dry in less than 30 minutes, is odourless, and is fine for large and small surfaces. A really nice finish without having to work away brush strokes. The containers allow you to squeeze out as much or as little as you need, and any mixing requires works well. So long as you catch it within 20 minutes, mistakes or spills can be washed away with clean water. Matt, satin and gloss varnishes can be used to seal in decals. I haven't had the problem yet, but it may still be needed to apply decals with large areas of transfer film to a gloss finish. So far, the decals I have used have happily gone on to the matt finish, and are sealed in with matt acrylic varnish. Some of the colour descriptions are a little strange, e.g. "English Uniform" is bang on for dark khaki battledress for British soldiers. And the set might look expensive, but it's really very cheap. Really an excellent buy and highly recommended.

Great items,Good coverage and fantastic shades

Husband love his paint set great colours

Good selection of colours to suit most requirements. Needs to be thinned down with water as very thick paint. Covers well if not thinned down too much.

There is a great selection of Vallejo 17ml paints in this box set which are perfect for all your modelling requirements.I've always found Vallejo paints- these included - easy to use, with good coverage and a long shelve life.I would highly recommend this set to the seasoned modeler, a beginner or if you have a project that needs painting.

I purchased these for my son's first foray into painting his WWII airfix figures. He's not too concerned with historical accuracy, so the exact colour match had some artistic licence. Good coverage, clean to use, and a good range of colours. A good base set to build on.

Vallejo paint can be expensive, so look out for those bargains on amazon especially on Black Friday

Excellent, fast delivery and no problems, Although my good friends the Nephilim were cautious about having their toenails painted with these as they had some concern that the Umans (Humans):) would think them too feminine and would not take them seriously or even notice them :( However I did convey to them that what the Umans thought was inconsequential and that your toenails look delightful.
