VallejoModel Color 17 ml Acrylic Paint - Sunset Red

I purchased this for use with my miniature war gaming models which on occasion would still have gaps where the limbs joined on. It work perfect for this so I also decided to use it for some larger project, specifically 3D printed models, where the layer lines might have extremely small gaps that would not goi away without significant sanding or filler.This putty was very easy to apply. I simply added a few blobs (about half a pea size) on the surface I want to level and then used a flat spatula to spread the putty, until it fill all of the gaps. I did not go for a perfect surface, just enough to reduce the amount of post filler sanding. The putty is very strong once set and it easily sanded to a smooth outcome using wet and dry. For the T-Rex I used it like a tube of glue, piping a very thin line around the joins of the neck and arms, then using a damp brush to push and shape it into position.I would also point out that it goes a very long way, making it very good value for money. I have had mine a good few months now, and have unused it once or twice a week, and it shows no signs of running out.Drying time is very quick, 4 hours it is touch try, but for sanding I tend to leave it over night just to ensure that the wet and dry does not break it down.

Arrived with no lid but paint undamaged...I didn't send back as urgently needed for a project. Used it to paint a plastic prop, covered well.

Lovely deep red colour used to paint 28 mm French Frano Prussian figures - goes on a treat

Very nice flat red very soft it’s not as vibrant as say scarlet red or mephiston red

I don't know if it's my method but I couldn't get this to do what I needed. I've used fillers and putty before and this wasn't quite as good as anything else.

I got 2 colours of thes and they’re absolutely gorgeous. I do abstract art so I need that different textured look and these are brilliant

Stunning colour and brilliant coverage !!!!!!

Modellers are a tribal lot with preferences for paint, model manufacturers etc. Most of all paint.Now, I'm in that rare group who don't really have a huge opinion on each manufacturer because frankly every major brand I've used works well. Any problems are of my own making or the paint is ancient.However, my overall choice is Vallejo because of a few reasons. Firstly having returned to the hobby a few years ago I came across Vallejo paints in the super handy dropper bottles. A real revelation to someone who for years struggled with crusty Humbrol enamel pots. That immediately made me a little bit biased towards Vallejo.Next, Vallejo have a huge range of colours. More so than any other manufacturer and this makes colour matching any model easy.Now, the bit where people get hot under the collar and tribal. How good the paint is. Well, in my opinion Vallejo paint is excellent. I've never had any issues using it in five years apart when I make a mistake mixing to spray or the paint is old and lumpy. Even then I filter the paint and a couple of drops of flow improver and hey presto! Back to normal.Coverage is excellent. A couple of thin coats when spraying and a deep colour is obtained.Colour matching given the range of tones and variations is easy to obtain. This particular colour to my eyes matches well with the colours actually used when I compare to the real items in Bovington Tank Museum. I appreciated one has to also scale it to suit and in general a little lighter is often better for scale effect. This particular shade seems to work very well on a 1:35 scale panzer.Overall, my go to paint manufacturer.
