Vallejo Model Air Paint – VVS Grey Blue (71.412)

Recreate historically inspired Soviet aircraft finishes with Vallejo Model Air VVS Grey Blue (71.412). Part of Vallejo's Model Air range, this water-based acrylic paint is formulated specifically for airbrush application, offering a fine pigment consistency and smooth coverage suited to detailed scale-model work.

VVS Grey Blue is particularly useful for Soviet and Russian aviation projects where a muted grey-blue tone is required. It can also be incorporated into science-fiction vehicles, military miniatures, terrain, and other projects where a cool blue-grey finish suits the desired color scheme.

Model Air paints are optimized for airbrushing but can also be applied with a traditional brush for smaller areas, corrections, and detail work.
