Vallejo Model Color To Model Air Conversion Chart
What is Vallejo Model Color?
Vallejo Model Color is a range of acrylic paints specifically designed for painting miniature models and figures. These paints are highly pigmented and have a smooth consistency that makes them easy to work with. They are also water-soluble, making them easy to clean up with just water.
What is Vallejo Model Air?
Vallejo Model Air is another range of acrylic paints from Vallejo, but these paints are specifically designed for airbrushing. They have a much thinner consistency than Model Color, making them easier to spray through an airbrush. They also dry quickly, which is important when using an airbrush.
Why Use a Conversion Chart?
If you have a collection of Vallejo Model Color paints and want to switch to using an airbrush, you will need to convert your colors to Vallejo Model Air. This is because the two ranges of paints have different consistencies, and the same color in Model Color and Model Air may look different when applied to a model. Using a conversion chart will help you find the equivalent color in Model Air for each of your Model Color paints.
How to Use the Conversion Chart
To use the Vallejo Model Color to Model Air Conversion Chart, simply find the Model Color paint you want to convert in the left-hand column of the chart. Then, look across to the right-hand column to find the equivalent Model Air color. The chart also includes information on the recommended air pressure and thinning ratio for each Model Air color.
