Vallejo Model Color 17ml Purple

The Vallejo Model Color range offers a diverse selection of opaque and highly pigmented acrylic water-based colors, specifically formulated for brush application on models and miniatures made of resin, plastic, or metal. These colors provide exceptional coverage and can be easily applied without obscuring the most intricate details of the figures or vehicles. All the colors within the range can be mixed with one another, and they dry to a matte, uniform finish without leaving any visible brush strokes. The colors can be diluted with water or Vallejo Thinner (ref. 70524) for application, and for airbrushing, it is recommended to dilute them with 50% Airbrush Thinner (ref. 71261).

The Model Color range encompasses a variety of military colors with equivalents to RAL, RLM, and FS values, as well as metallic colors, glazes, transparent, and fluorescent colors. The transparent colors can be applied directly for tinting headlights and signal lights, and when diluted with Gloss Medium, they become ideal for tinting airplane or car windows (simulating smoked glass). The glazes are designed for quick shading of figures or models.

To further enhance the properties of the colors, the Model Color range includes a series of Mediums. The Glaze Medium dilutes the color and delays the drying time, making it suitable for shading and blending, as well as working with pigments. The Metallic Medium adds a pearlescent or metallic sheen to the colors, while the Crackle or Chipping Medium, when applied between two coats of Model Color, will cause the top coat to develop fissures and cracks.

Vallejo also offers a range of varnishes for the Model Color line, which can be applied by brush or airbrush. These varnishes dry rapidly and do not leave any fingerprints or tacky residue. Once the colors are protected by a varnish, they become resistant to oil paints, enamels, and solvent-based washes.

The safety of the Model Color range is ensured by its manufacture in accordance with European safety regulations and the US ASTM D-4236 certification, guaranteeing that the product is safe for use.

In summary, the Vallejo Model Color range provides a comprehensive and versatile selection of acrylics, designed to meet the needs of modelers and miniaturists, with a focus on exceptional coverage, ease of use, and a wide range of specialized mediums and varnishes to enhance the final results.
