Just like everything Vallejo , these are nice paints

Very nice, paint on nice and smooth yet matte earth colors

purely water-based acrylics, needs some experience and practice for airbrushing, Vallejo offers a great range of colors for all subjects

These paints are very nice. It sprays through my airbrush without the need for thinner, and sits nicely on the the kit. The eye dropper bottles are a nice feature as well. The only downside to that is that it does not allow extra paint to be put back in the bottle. That can be fixed if one has multiple projects going or extra jars to put paint in.

Historical colors

Slowly making the change to acrylics. I have a little experience with Tamiya’s, but these seem to be very good as well!!

These are model air paints, so pre thinned for airbrush use, they’ve worked really well with some Vallejo thinner and flow improver. Definitely happy with them

Bonne ligne de peinture. Les nuances sont juste un peu à éclaicir en fonction de leur situation sur le modèle.

Die Farben lassen sich hervorragend verarbeiten. Gut schütteln und mit dem Airbrush in mehreren dünnen Schichten lackieren. Deckt ausgezeichnet und ist rasch trocken, so dass man zügig weiterarbeiten kann. Es handelt sich hierbei um Acrylfarben auf Wasserbasis. Die sind ungiftig und lassen sich mit Wasser verdünnen, falls man z. B. lasierende Effekte herstellen will oder das Fläschchen schon etwas älter ist (je weniger Farbe sich in dem Fläschchen befindet, desto mehr Sauerstoff kommt hinein, der die Farbe etwas dicker werden lässt. Je nach verwendetem Airbrush kann es daher sinnvoll sein, die Farbe mit etwas destilliertem Wasser oder dem Verdünner von Vallejo etwas zu verdünnen, um das Spritzverhalten zu verbessern. Zum Verdünnen aber NIEMALS Alkohol (Isopropyl 100%) verwenden. Die Farbe bildet Flocken und ist nicht mehr vernünftig spritzbar). Zum Reinigen des Airbrush verwende ich das oben erwähnte Isopropyl 100% (erhältlich z. B. in der Apotheke). Mit diesem und dem Set 71205 (German Colors 1927-1941) erhält man eine ziemlich vollständige Sammlung der von der Deutschen Wehrmacht verwendeten Farben. Mühsames Ermitteln der einzelnen Farben entfällt. Durch die integrierte Pipette lässt sich die Farbe tropfenweise dosieren. Fazit: Sehr empfehlenswert

Schöne matte Farben, Perfekt zum Pinseln oder auch für Airbrush.

Being of a certain age - ahem - my childhood was filled with the fumes of enamel paints and thinners when making models of what would best be described as 'workmanlike' standard... Today, this hobby has exploded with every conceivable niche catered for and models of all kinds available at the press of a keystroke. It's a wonderful time to make models. And along with that has arrived high quality acrylic paints that are much safer to use and allow easy cleaning. If you have children or grandchildren then of course using a non-toxic paint is a no brainer. And for me when I discovered Vallejo paints was the superb bottles. No more gummed up tins and problems pouring paint. No, a quick squirt and off we go. Vallejo has been my choice from the get go using acrylics - possibly because they were the first I used and because of that really appreciated the ease of use - but mainly because for me they have been absolutely rock solid reliable. Whilst on various forums and on Facebook I've read and hear people complaining about various things, not once in the last four years have I ever had a problem with Vallejo paints. Not one. This set maintains that record being easy to use, great paint finish and of course easy to clean. They are of course the pre-mixed type so specific to airbrushes and no good for use with a brush. I've tried and failed on that one. But, straight out of the bottle they spray perfectly with my cheapo Chineseum air brushes, my Aztec - which I loathe and have used once and latterly with my Harder and Steinbeck one. All work perfectly. Colour wise this set covers the bases for sure. Okay, maybe the odd rivet counter might have discovered some particular shade of unobtanium used once on a half track but, fundamentally, these colours if used will present a model that is unmistakably that of a German vehicle of WW2. All without having to think to hard or research too much. Brilliant.

Just finished a Hetzer with these. Turned out pretty nice.
