Vallejo Airbrush Thinner for Model Air and Liquid Acrylic

Vallejo Airbrush Thinner is supplied in a 200ml size and is designed for use with Model Air and Liquid Acrylic colours. It can be added to extend the colours, increase their fluidity and delay their drying time. These functions make it a useful addition when preparing colour for airbrushing.

The recommended approach is to add a few drops of thinner to the colour while airbrushing. This allows the thinner to perform its intended role without changing the basic purpose of the colour being used. The product is identified by Vallejo reference 70.161.

Extending colour and increasing fluidity

Adding thinner extends the colour and increases its fluidity. Increased fluidity can be useful when colour is being prepared for application through an airbrush. Because the amount required is described as a few drops, the thinner can be introduced in small quantities while the colour is being used.

This Vallejo thinner is relevant to modellers working with Model Air and Liquid Acrylic colours. It belongs alongside other specialist thinners used when preparing model paints for application.

Delaying drying time while airbrushing

In addition to extending colour and increasing fluidity, the thinner delays drying time. This is one of its stated purposes when it is added to colour during airbrushing. The three functions work together: the colour is extended, its fluidity is increased and its drying is delayed.

The 200ml size provides Vallejo Airbrush Thinner in a clearly identified format for use with the specified colour types. It is a practical choice for anyone seeking the functions described without changing to a different paint product. The thinner itself does not replace Model Air or Liquid Acrylic colour; it is added to the colour as part of preparation and use.
