How can someone run a model shop and not know about what is available. Do they not take an interest in the hobby and look at sites like this? amazing.

Agree Barry remarkable. One runs a toy shop with a dept for models. One runs a luggage & you name it shop plus models. One runs just a model shop mainly trains & was the one who did not know about acrylics.
Hoping to start a club here in Jersey after Christmas & that may shake them up a bit as they will be invited. As sponsors ha ha.

i am dying to ask this question and will probably be laughed at noe but it is bugging me......vallejo paints do their standard paint and the model air which is pre thinned for use in an airbrush, does it not make sense to buy the normal one and then thin it yourself so as to get twice as much for the same price or are the model air pots significantly larger.Comment

Seems Andrew that the pigments in model air are ground finer than model paints.
While good I find model does not give the same finish as model air. If you weigh model I bet it weighs 4 times that of model air. Even after thinning Model well it does not have the same smooth & depth coverage as Model Air. Nice for hand brushing though. Also found that the few Revell Acrylics I have hand brush very well.

I think that's right Laurie. Air definitely gives the best airbrush finish compared to thinned Model, that said Model is acceptable and has airbrushed well in my experience properly thinned with Vallejo thinners.
For me the convenience is an added factor that makes the big difference.Comment

Matter of interest these give the wide range of different mediums which are available for Vallegro Paints. Not just Model & Model Air by any means.
