FAQs
What is the best way to apply this paint?
This paint is formulated for excellent brushability. Apply thin, even coats using a quality brush. Priming the model first is highly recommended.
Can I use this paint with an airbrush?
While primarily designed for brush application, it can be thinned with water or a specific acrylic thinner (like Vallejo Airbrush Thinner) for use with an airbrush. You may need to experiment with thinning ratios.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Vallejo Model Color paints dry quickly to the touch, forming a homogeneous layer. Drying time can vary based on humidity and application thickness, but recoating is typically possible within minutes.
How do I clean my brushes after using this paint?
Clean your brushes immediately after use with water. If paint has dried, use a brush restorer or soap and water.
What is the finish of this paint?
The paint dries to a superb matt finish, which is ideal for realistic military modeling.
How should I store the paint to ensure it lasts?
Store the 18ml bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the eyedropper cap is securely sealed after each use to prevent evaporation and drying.
Is this paint suitable for beginners?
Yes, its excellent brushability and self-leveling properties make it user-friendly for beginners, especially when combined with a primed surface.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears too thick when brushing.
Thin the paint slightly with water or a Vallejo medium. Ensure your brush is not overloaded with paint.
Color is not opaque after one coat.
Apply a second thin coat after the first has dried. Ensure the surface was properly primed.
Paint is drying too quickly on the brush.
Work in smaller areas, keep your brush slightly moist with water, or use a 'wet palette' to keep the paint workable for longer.
Paint is not adhering well to the model.
Ensure the model surface is clean and has been properly primed. Re-prime if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: For best results, always apply Vallejo German Tank Crew paint over a primed surface. Use a suitable primer, such as Vallejo Primer, to ensure optimal adhesion and color depth.

It can be thinned with water or Vallejo Airbrush Thinner for airbrush use (though it is primarily formulated for brush application). It is also compatible with other Vallejo paints and mediums. Avoid mixing with non-acrylic paints.
