Model Air is a range of liquid acrylic colours developed especially for
airbrush techniques, with very finely ground pigments and an acrylic
resin with properties of extreme resistence and durability.
The
formula contains a new acrylic resin with properties until now
impossible to obtain in a waterbased acrylic. The resistence, hardness
and covering power of Model Air is superior to any known acrylic for
airbrushing.
The pigments used for airbrush colours need to be ground to the finest
possible consistency to avoid obstruction of the airbrush valves. The
revolutionary milling process of the pigments used in the Model Air
formula gives the modelpainter technical assurance and finest texture
when applying the colours to the model, and produces a very superior
qualtity when applying the colours with a brush for miniscule details,
for washes and transparencies and layered application of diluted glazes.
Colours can be mixed with one another, diluted with water, Model Air
Thinner or Varnish, according to the effect desired, but we recommend
the use of Model Air Thinner since this product conserves the properties
of the colours. Model Air adheres excepcionally well to all surfaces.
The adhesion of Model Air to resin models, plastics, steel and white
metal is extraordinary. Once protected with varnish, (Gloss, Matte or
Satin) Model Air can be overpainted with solvent based enamels or
oilcolours: they withstand cleaning with turpentine and even a light
wash with alcohol. The resistance to abrasion of the colours, once
varnished, is superior to any other waterbased acrylic.
Presentation:
Model Air is presented in a 17 ml. bottle with eyedropper. This
packaging prevents the paint from evaporating and drying in the
container.
