Paints and Brushes

No matter what genre of plastic model kits modelers are drawn to, there is a paint set to accommodate his or her needs. General model paint sets include colors that are likely to be used on any project one chooses to tackle. Primary colors are included with black and white, allowing modelers to mix their own colors if necessary, and they have silver for adding a metallic look to model parts. Other sets of paints are more genre specific. Military model paint sets include colors that are likely to be used as camouflage or to provide a solid olive drab, while aircraft and car paint sets offer the most likely colors to be used when focusing on those particular types of plastic model kits.

Airbrush supplies include kits complete with paints, propellant, and an airbrush, while modelers can pick and choose from the various accessories they need. Cans of airbrush propellant can be more budget friendly than buying an air compressor, while airbrush specific acrylic paint sets can be used straight out of their bottles with no mixing required. Paint brushes sold in packs and included in the paint sets are designed with anti-shed bristles to protect your otherwise pristine paint job, while a drop cloth is always encouraged to protect your home’s surfaces. For beginners, there are also more expansive model building kits that include more paints as well as glue to help first time modelers take a positive first step into the world of plastic model kits.
