    Model Paints – A Wide Selection for Every Modeler

    Model paints are a key component of any toolset, for both beginner and advanced modelers. They are what give models realism, character, and depth. In our selection, you will find acrylic paints, oil paints, and spray paints, which are perfect for painting plastic, resin, metal, and wooden models. By choosing the right paints, you can achieve a variety of effects – from glossy surfaces and satin finishes to subtle, matte colors. We also offer specialty paints that allow you to create effects such as metallic surfaces, textured imitations of earth, rust, or weathering effects.

    In our hobby shop, you'll find over 11,000 products that will meet the expectations of even the most demanding modelers. We understand how important it is to match the right paints to a specific model, which is why our range includes a rich palette of colors – from standard shades to custom ones, allowing you to bring even the most advanced projects to life. Additionally, many model kits include a list of suggested colors, making it easier to choose the right paints for your projects.

    Acrylic, Oil, and Spray Paints – Which to Choose?

    Acrylic paints are one of the most popular choices among modelers. They are easy to apply, dry quickly, and offer a wide range of colors. Thanks to their versatility, you can achieve excellent coverage on both plastic and metal models. Acrylic paints are also easy to clean up, making them suitable for quick work and touch-ups.

    Oil paints have a longer drying time, which provides more time for precise layering and achieving perfect tonal transitions. They are an ideal solution for those who value greater control over the painting process and prefer a slower pace of work.

    Spray paints are a great choice for those who want to cover large surfaces quickly while achieving even coverage. Sprays are excellent for primers as well as final finishes, especially for larger models.

    Varnishes, Pigments, Washes, and Other Additives

    In addition to paints, we also offer a wide selection of additives that will help you achieve even more advanced effects. Primers are a crucial element of any project, ensuring better paint adhesion and a more uniform surface coverage. In our store, you will also find clear coats which protect painted models and give them their final look – matte, satin, or gloss.

    Pigments and washes allow you to create realistic weathering and dirt effects, adding depth and character to your models. With washes, you can create effects of wear, shading, and realistic streaks, while pigments are perfect for creating dust, mud, or rust effects.

    Our range also includes specialty paint additives that make painting easier and improve the quality of paint application on models. We offer, among other things, thinners, which help achieve the ideal paint consistency—crucial, especially when painting with an airbrush.

    Wide Selection of Model Paints and Accessories

    In our hobby shop, you'll find not only acrylic, oil, and spray paints, but also paint sets that allow you to paint complete models with a consistent color scheme. We offer products from the best modeling brands, valued by modelers worldwide. Our selection is constantly updated, and with over 5,000 colors of paint to choose from, everyone—from beginner hobbyists to professional modelers—is sure to find something for themselves.

    • Paints from the Japanese company Tamiya are among the most popular and highly regarded products in the world of scale modeling. They are known for their high quality, excellent coverage, and a wide color palette that allows for the precise replication of historical and modern colors for vehicles, aircraft, and figures. The Tamiya range includes various types of paints, tailored to different painting techniques and the needs of modelers at every skill level. The main lines include acrylic, enamel, and lacquer paints.

      Tamiya Acrylic Paints – The Ideal Choice for Beginners

      The most recognizable series is the Tamiya Color Acrylic Paint, available in 10 ml jars. It is divided into two sub-series: X (gloss colors) and XF (flat colors). These are water-based paints, meaning they can be thinned and tools can be cleaned with the dedicated Tamiya X-20A thinner. They are characterized by a short drying time and a mild, non-irritating odor, which makes them an excellent choice for beginners and modelers working at home. They are perfectly suited for both brush painting and airbrushing when properly thinned.

      Tamiya Enamels, Lacquers, and Spray Paints

      In addition to acrylics, Tamiya also offers enamel paints (Enamel Paints). They dry more slowly, allowing more time for corrections, and are useful for weathering techniques such as washes. They are thinned with Tamiya X-20 thinner. For advanced users, there are lacquer-type paints (Lacquer Paint - LP series), which are characterized by high durability and a smooth finish. The range is completed by spray paints (TS, AS, PS series), ideal for quickly painting large surfaces, and specialized weathering products like the Tamiya Weathering Master sets.

    • To achieve a realistic finish on a model airplane, tank, or car, you need the right paints. In the scale modeling industry, the Spanish company Vallejo is a leader among acrylic paint manufacturers. These paints are nearly odorless, and their acrylic resin formula ensures excellent adhesion to plastic surfaces, creating a durable, long-lasting coat. The manufacturer offers several specialized lines, such as Model Color (ideal for brush painting), Model Air (with a consistency optimized for airbrushing), and Game Color (designed for painting miniatures). The extensive color range, featuring hundreds of shades, allows for the precise replication of every detail.

      Primers, Washes, and Weathering Products

      In our hobby shop, we offer not only paints but also a wide range of complementary Vallejo products. These include spray and bottled primers, which improve paint adhesion and even out the surface. A key part of our offering is also weathering products, used for aging and dirtying models. Here you'll find pigments for creating dust and mud effects, washes for enhancing details and shading, as well as specialized products from the Diorama Effects series for building realistic dioramas. The range is completed by varnishes (matt, satin, and gloss), which protect the finished model and give it the desired finish. All products are compatible with each other and are suitable for both brush and airbrush application.

    • Gunze, a brand of the Japanese company GSI Creos, more widely known as Mr. Hobby, is one of the world's leading manufacturers of modeling chemicals. The company's paints are highly regarded by modelers for their high-quality pigments, an extensive palette of precisely matched colors, and reliability. Our offer includes all key Gunze paint series, enabling you to achieve professional results regardless of your skill level. These products are designed for painting plastic, resin, and metal models, offering different properties depending on the chosen product line.

      Gunze Mr. Color Paints (C series)

      Paints from the C series are cellulose lacquers (commonly known as solvent-based), which are the brand's flagship product. They are characterized by a very fast drying time and create a hard, smooth, and damage-resistant coating. They are an ideal choice for airbrushing as they atomize perfectly, creating a thin and even layer that does not obscure model details. Due to their chemical composition, they require the use of a dedicated thinner (Mr. Color Thinner or Mr. Color Leveling Thinner). Working with them should be done in a well-ventilated area.

      Gunze Aqueous Hobby Color Paints (H series)

      The H series consists of popular water-based acrylic paints. They are much safer and more user-friendly, as their odor is minimal, and tools can be cleaned with water (before the paint dries). This makes them an excellent choice for beginner modelers and those who paint with a brush. These paints can also be successfully used in an airbrush after proper thinning with the dedicated product (Aqueous Hobby Color Thinner) or distilled water.

      Gunze Acrysion Paints (N series)

      Acrysion is the latest generation of water-thinnable acrylic paints from Gunze. They combine the advantages of water-based paints (low odor, safety) with some characteristics of solvent-based paints (better adhesion and coating durability). They dry faster than the classic H series acrylics and create a more durable surface. They are versatile – suitable for both brush and airbrush application. The Acrysion system has its own dedicated thinners and cleaners that ensure optimal results.
    • Citadel acrylic paints are a complete painting system created by Games Workshop, the company behind the iconic Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar universes. They are the most popular choice among gamers and modelers for painting wargaming miniatures and models. The color range is logically divided into several categories to simplify color selection and guide the painter step-by-step through the entire process. The range includes individual paints as well as practical sets dedicated to specific armies or painting techniques, along with starter sets for beginners.

      Types of Paints in the Citadel Colour System

      The Citadel system is designed to make painting intuitive. The paints are divided into several types, each serving a specific function:

      • Base: High-pigment foundation paints. Their purpose is to create a uniform, smooth base layer that provides excellent coverage over the primer.
      • Layer: Slightly thinner than Base paints. They are used for applying subsequent layers of color and gradually highlighting details, which gives the model depth.
      • Shade: Liquid, wash-type paints that flow into the recesses of a model, naturally creating shadows. It's the easiest way to emphasize details.
      • Dry: Thick-consistency paints designed for the drybrushing technique. Perfect for quickly highlighting raised edges and textures.
      • Contrast: An innovative formula that combines the properties of a base paint and a shade. A single coat over a light primer provides both a base color and shading, significantly speeding up the painting process.
      • Air: Versions of the most popular colors, pre-thinned for use in an airbrush. They provide a smooth and even coat.

      The core range is complemented by specialist paints. Among the Technical paints, you'll find products for creating special effects like blood, rust, slime, or cracked earth. Texture paints allow for the quick preparation of model bases, simulating sand, mud, or snow. A wide range of spray primers is also available, which prepare the model's surface for painting and ensure better paint adhesion.

    • Hataka is a Polish manufacturer that has gained recognition in the modeling world for its high-quality acrylic paints.

      Hataka Paints – Product Lines

      To make choosing the right product easier, the manufacturer has divided its paints into several main lines, each designed for a different painting technique. The most popular ones are:
      Orange Line – These are water-based acrylic paints optimized for brush painting. They have a thicker consistency that provides good coverage with just the first coat. They can also be thinned with water and used in an airbrush, but their primary purpose is for hand painting.
      Red Line – These are lacquer-based acrylic paints designed exclusively for airbrushing. They are characterized by excellent adhesion and create a very smooth and durable finish. They require the use of a dedicated thinner from the same brand.
      Blue Line - These are modern, water-based acrylic paints optimized for airbrushing, ready to use straight from the bottle. They serve as an alternative to the Red Line series for those who prefer water-thinnable paints.

      Ready-Made Sets and a Wide Color Palette

      The greatest advantage of Hataka's offer is its thematic sets. These consist of 6 or 8 colors needed to paint a specific type of vehicle or army from a particular historical period. This is a huge convenience that saves time searching for the right shades. Whether you are building a model of a Polish Air Force F-16 or a German Tiger tank from World War II, Hataka offers a ready-made solution. This allows the modeler to focus on the precision of the build, confident that the colors used are historically accurate.

    • About Scale 75 Acrylic Paints

      Scale 75 is a Spanish manufacturer of high-quality acrylic paints that have gained recognition among modelers and miniature painters worldwide. The signature feature of the core range, Scalecolor, is its ultra-matte finish. This ensures that painted surfaces do not reflect light, allowing for a very realistic appearance on models and simplifying the application of subsequent layers of paint or weathering effects, such as washes and pigments. These paints have a dense, gel-like consistency, which requires thorough mixing before use, but in turn offers excellent control over application and great coverage even with a thin coat. All paints come in convenient dropper bottles, which makes dispensing easy and prevents them from drying out.

      Main Scale 75 Product Lines

      The manufacturer's range is divided into several specialized series to meet the diverse needs of creators. The most important of these include:

      • Scalecolor: The flagship line with an ultra-matte finish and very high pigment density. Ideal for brush painting and airbrushing (when properly thinned), it excels in techniques like glazing and wet-on-wet blending.

Both series offer a wide palette of colors, including shades that match historical and contemporary painting schemes for military vehicles, aircraft, ships, and civilian cars. This makes it easy to choose the right shade for your project based on the instructions included with the model.

      Revell Email Color – A Durable Classic

      Email Color series paints are classic solvent-based enamels. They are characterized by excellent adhesion to plastic and create a hard, damage-resistant coating. Their longer drying time (approximately 24 hours to fully cure) is an advantage, as it allows for unhurried corrections and color blending directly on the model. For thinning, for example for airbrush use, and for cleaning tools, the dedicated Revell Color Mix thinner should be used. Due to their solvent content, working with them requires good room ventilation.

      Revell Aqua Color – Convenience and Low Odor

      The Aqua Color series are water-based acrylic paints. Their biggest advantage is their low odor and the ability to be thinned with water, making them much more user-friendly for home use. They dry very quickly (the surface is touch-dry after about an hour), which speeds up the modeling process. Brushes and tools can be easily cleaned with water as long as the paint has not dried. These paints are excellent for both brush painting and airbrushing (after appropriate thinning). They are an excellent choice for beginner modelers and those who value comfort and speed.

    • Humbrol Paints – The Classic Choice for Modelers

Humbrol paints are perfect for painting plastic and resin models, as well as figures and dioramas.

      Enamels and Acrylics – What's the Difference?

      The core Humbrol range is divided into two main lines. Enamel paints are solvent-based products that, once dry, form a very hard and damage-resistant coat. They are ideal for brush painting, providing a smooth finish without brush marks. They require the use of dedicated thinners. On the other hand, acrylic paints are water-based, fast-drying, and virtually odorless, making them more user-friendly for beginners and those working at home. They are well-suited for both brush and airbrush application. Both lines offer a rich variety of colors in different finishes: Matt, Satin, Gloss, and Metallic.

These products are renowned for their very finely ground pigment and dense consistency, which allows for precise application and achieving exceptional effects. The long drying time of this brand's oil paints is a key advantage—it allows for effortless blending of colors directly on the model, creating smooth tonal transitions, and easily correcting any mistakes. It's an ideal tool for techniques such as shading, filters, washes, or painting details like rust streaks, grime, or stains.

      Application of Abteilung 502 Products in Modeling

The range includes two primary types of paint: acrylic and enamel, allowing you to select the right product for your painting technique and desired final effect. Each jar is characterized by high pigmentation and excellent adhesion to various surfaces, particularly the plastic used in scale model kits.

      Pactra Acrylic Paints – Convenience and Safety

      Pactra acrylic paints are water-based, which is their main advantage. This means that plain water is all you need for thinning the paint and cleaning your tools (brushes, airbrushes). They are virtually odorless, making them comfortable to work with even in poorly ventilated spaces. Their fast drying time allows for the efficient application of subsequent coats. These paints are excellent for brush application, creating a smooth, uniform finish. Before use, the paint should be mixed thoroughly by shaking the jar vigorously to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed in the binder.

      Pactra Enamel Paints – Durability and a Smooth Finish

      Pactra model enamels are solvent-based paints. They feature a longer drying time compared to acrylics, which provides more time to correct any mistakes and helps achieve a perfectly smooth surface free of brush marks. Once fully cured, the finish is highly durable and resistant to mechanical damage. A dedicated enamel thinner is required for thinning the paint and cleaning tools. Due to their stronger odor, good ventilation is necessary when working with them. They are an excellent choice for both brush and airbrush application, especially on larger surfaces.

      How to Get Started with Modeling Chemicals?

      Working with modeling chemicals is not complicated, but it requires following specific steps. Start by thoroughly cleaning and degreasing your model. Next, apply a thin coat of primer to enhance paint adhesion. After the primer dries, you can proceed with applying the base colors. Once the base coat is dry, it's time for details and special effects. You can use a wash to accentuate panel lines and recesses. Finally, add weathering effects like dust or rust using pigments. It's best to protect the entire model with a clear varnish to seal your work and protect it from damage.

    • Specialist Paints for Vehicle Models

      Zero Paints are high-quality model lacquers developed specifically for painting model cars, motorcycles, and racing or rally vehicles. Their key feature is the faithful reproduction of original paint colors used by actual vehicle manufacturers. All paints are pre-thinned and ready for immediate use with an airbrush, which significantly simplifies the painting process. The cellulose-based (lacquer) formula ensures excellent adhesion, fast drying, and high resistance to mechanical damage once fully cured. This makes them the ideal choice for modelers who seek maximum realism and a durable finish for their replicas.

      Application and Key Tips

      Painting with Zero Paints is straightforward but requires following a few key rules. Due to their composition, it is essential to work in a well-ventilated area and use a respirator mask with organic vapor cartridges. The paint is best applied with an airbrush at a pressure of 1-2 bar. It is recommended to apply several thin coats instead of one thick one to achieve a smooth, even surface. Always use a suitable primer under the color coat—typically gray, white, or black, depending on the target color. After the base coat is applied and dry, the model should be protected with a clear coat (gloss, satin, or matte), which not only protects the paint but also provides the desired finish and depth.

      Our range includes both individual base colors and dedicated paint sets for specific vehicle models. We also stock a wide selection of primers, clear coats, and thinners from Zero Paints, which together form a complete and reliable painting system.

    • What are Alclad II Paints?

      Alclad II paints are a specialized line of ready-to-use lacquer paints, acclaimed by modelers worldwide for their ability to create exceptionally realistic metallic finishes. These are known as metalizers, specially formulated for airbrush application without the need for additional thinning. Their unique formula allows for smooth and uniform coats that faithfully replicate the appearance of polished aluminum, chrome, steel, titanium, and many other metals. These products are an ideal choice for modelers of aircraft, civilian and military vehicles, figures, or sci-fi models who strive to achieve an authentic look for metal surfaces.

      How to Paint with Alclad II Paints?

      Proper application of Alclad II paints is key to achieving the desired effect. First and foremost, they require a perfectly prepared surface – smooth and clean. For high-shine paints like Chrome or Polished Aluminium, a gloss black base coat is essential, such as Alclad's Gloss Black Base. The paints should be applied with an airbrush at low pressure (around 12-15 PSI) in thin, even layers. As these are lacquer-based solvent paints, it is crucial to work in a well-ventilated area and use respiratory protection. Once dry, they form a durable coat that, depending on the type of paint, can be further polished or sealed with a dedicated clear varnish.

      A Wide Range of Colors and Applications

      The Alclad II color palette extends far beyond standard shades of silver. It includes dozens of metal variants, from different types of aluminum (e.g., Duraluminium, White Aluminium) to steel (Steel, Jet Exhaust), copper, and brass. In addition to metalizers, Alclad also offers primers, clear coats (e.g., Aqua Gloss Clear), and transparent 'candy' colors, which, when applied over a chrome base, create deep, colorful metallic finishes. This versatility makes Alclad II paints a complete system for painting all types of metal details in scale modeling.

      Applying Lifecolor paints is straightforward. For thinning, it is best to use the dedicated Lifecolor Thinner or distilled water. It is recommended to apply several thin layers instead of one thick coat to achieve a better final effect and avoid obscuring model details. The paints dry quickly, creating a durable, matte finish that provides an excellent base for further work, such as weathering or applying decals. Tools can be easily cleaned with water after use.

    • Italeri Acrylic Paints – Features and Uses

      Italeri model paints are high-quality, water-based acrylic paints that are an excellent choice for every modeler. Thanks to their formula, they are odorless and non-toxic, which significantly improves working comfort, especially in a home environment.

The color palette is extensive and includes both matte and gloss finishes, enabling precise replication of the paint schemes of historical vehicles, aircraft, or figurines. The paints are ready for brush application straight from the bottle. For airbrushing, it is recommended to thin them appropriately, preferably with a dedicated thinner or distilled water, to achieve the ideal consistency and smooth tonal transitions.

      Who are Italeri Model Paints for?

      Italeri paints are a versatile solution that works well for both beginners and advanced modelers. Those taking their first steps in the hobby will appreciate their simple application and the ease of correcting any mistakes. In turn, experienced model builders will leverage their potential to create advanced effects like shading, washes, or filters. Thanks to their reliability and wide range of colors, these paints are a popular choice for painting model airplanes, tanks, ships, cars, and figurines in various scales.

    • Model Master Paints – A Classic in Model Making

      Model Master is a line of specialized model paints that for many years was produced by the renowned American company, Testors. Although production of this series has been discontinued, these paints are still highly popular and sought after by modelers worldwide due to their high quality, durability, and excellent replication of historical colors. The Model Master range primarily included two main types of paint: enamel and acrylic, allowing modelers to choose the product best suited to their individual preferences and working techniques.

      Model Master Enamels and Acrylics – Characteristics

      Model Master enamel paints are valued for the exceptional smoothness and hardness of the finish once dry, which provides excellent protection for the model. They require the use of dedicated thinners and have a longer drying time, but the final result is very realistic. On the other hand, the acrylic paints in this series are characterized by a milder odor, faster drying time, and the ability to be thinned with water, making them more user-friendly for beginner modelers. Both paint lines offer excellent coverage and adhesion, especially when used over a primer. Thanks to a rich color palette, including many colors that conform to military standards (e.g., Federal Standard), Model Master allows for precise and authentic painting of military vehicle, aircraft, ship, or car models.

    • Heller Acrylic Paints – The Ideal Choice for Plastic Models

      Heller's modeling paints are high-quality, water-based acrylics, created for modelers of all skill levels. They are especially recommended for those just starting their adventure with model painting, thanks to their ease of use and safety. As water-soluble paints, they are virtually odorless, and tools like brushes or an airbrush can be easily cleaned with running water right after finishing your work. These paints are primarily designed for painting plastic models, offering excellent adhesion and coverage on polystyrene surfaces. Heller's model kits often include specific color numbers from the manufacturer's palette in their instructions, making it much easier to select the right shades and achieve a historically accurate look for your model.

      Applying Heller Paints – Brush and Airbrush

      Heller paints are formulated to deliver excellent results with both brush and airbrush application. Their consistency is suitable for brushing directly from the pot, allowing you to achieve a smooth finish without visible brush strokes, provided you apply several thin coats. If you plan to use an airbrush, the paint must be thinned accordingly. You can use Heller's dedicated thinner or simply distilled water in the proper ratio (typically 1:1 to 1:2, depending on the desired effect and working pressure). The extensive color range includes primary colors as well as military and civilian shades, allowing for the precise replication of paint schemes on aircraft, armored vehicles, ships, and cars. They come in practical, small pots that make precise paint dispensing easy.

    • Modelmates Products – The Easy Way to Realistic Weathering

      Modelmates products are popular and acclaimed weathering solutions for modelers worldwide, designed for aging and dirtying scale models. These are water-based paints and liquids that allow you to achieve realistic effects of wear, grime, and atmospheric conditions in a simple and controlled manner. The range includes products that simulate rust, dust, mud, soot, oil stains, verdigris, and much more. Thanks to their formula, Modelmates products are especially recommended for beginners just starting their adventure with advanced modeling techniques. They enable you to achieve excellent results without the need for harsh solvents.

      Easy Application and Full Control Over the Effect

      The biggest advantage of Modelmates products is their unique, water-based formula. After applying the product to the model, for example, with a brush or airbrush (for sprays), you have full control over the final appearance. As long as the layer is not sealed with a clear coat, it can be modified as desired. Using a damp brush, cotton swab, or cloth, you can easily remove excess paint, create streaks and stains, or completely wash off the effect and start over. This makes the weathering process less stressful and allows for experimentation. These products work perfectly on various surfaces, both matte and gloss, offering a wide scope for creativity when building models of vehicles, aircraft, ships, or dioramas.

    • Specialty Modeling Chemicals for Special Tasks

      This category contains all the specialized chemical products that complement the basic palette of model paints. These are preparations designed for detailing, finishing, and creating advanced effects on your models. If you want your miniatures and vehicles to look realistic, you'll find the essential tools here. We offer a wide selection of products such as pigments, weathering solutions, masking fluids, thinners, retarders, and varnishes that will take your modeling to the next level. Each of these products has a specific application that significantly impacts the final appearance of the model, adding depth and authenticity.

      Weathering Products and Mediums

      Weathering products are a key group here. Powdered pigments perfectly replicate dust, mud, rust, and soot stains. Ready-to-use enamels and oils, such as washes, filters, and rain marks, allow for precise highlighting of details, creating shadows, streaks, and wear-and-tear effects. Thanks to them, a static tank model can look as if it has just returned from the battlefield. This category also includes essential painting mediums. Thinners help you achieve the right paint consistency for brush or airbrush application. Retarders extend the drying time of acrylic paints, making blending and shading easier. Masking fluid is an invaluable tool for painting complex camouflage patterns, allowing you to temporarily protect selected areas of the model. Finally, protect your work with a suitable matte, satin, or gloss varnish, which not only shields the paint coat but also unifies its finish.
