Vallejo Model Air NATO Black is a water-based matt acrylic made for airbrushing scale models. It is part of a military color range researched against historical references, so the shade is meant to match real NATO vehicle and equipment black. It sprays straight from the bottle or thinned with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver, and it also brushes on. Compared with general-purpose craft acrylics, it is pigment-dense and fine enough to keep small detail, but it needs a primer and several thin layers to look right.

Modelers rate Model Air highly for spraying behavior and color accuracy. Many use NATO Black as a dependable dark base and detail color. The main complaints are the small bottle size and the need to thin or build layers carefully.
Vallejo Model Air NATO Black is a matt, water-based acrylic paint made for airbrushing. It comes from the Model Air range, which covers military colors used from WWI and WWII up to the present. Each color is based on research into existing and past military references, for historical accuracy in scale modeling.
The paint can be used directly or diluted with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver. Prime the surface first, then apply it in several layers. It dries very rapidly and forms an even paint film that resists wear and preserves fine model detail.
For airbrushing, the recommended compressor air pressure is 15 to 20 PSI (0.5 to 1 kg). The paint can also be applied with a brush. Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner is recommended for airbrush maintenance.
