Vallejo Model Air Orange Rust is an 18 ml bottle of water-based matt acrylic made for airbrushing scale models. It is part of a line built around researched military references, so the shade is meant to match historical rust and oxide tones on armor, vehicles and weathering work. It sprays straight from the bottle or thinned with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver, and it also brushes on. Compared with thicker craft acrylics, it is pre-filtered for fine nozzles and dries fast to a hard, thin film that keeps small detail; modelers pick it for color accuracy and consistency across the range rather than for heavy coverage in one pass.

Modelers rate the Model Air line for spraying smoothly and holding detail, and Orange Rust is used widely for rust and oxide effects. Complaints center on thin coverage out of the bottle and the small bottle size.
Vallejo Model Air in Orange Rust is a matt, water-based acrylic paint made for airbrushing. The Model Air range covers military colors used in recent history, from WWI and WWII to the present. Each color is based on research into existing and past military references, for historical accuracy in modeling.
The paint can be used directly or diluted with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver. Prime the surface first, then apply Model Air in several layers. It dries very quickly and forms an even paint film that is highly resistant and keeps fine model detail. It can also be applied with a brush.
