Andy350 Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 Hi, has anyone used this product before? I've been using the Tamiya matt finishes but they are getting expensive. Would this make a good substitute over Tamiya Acrylic paints?
Shin Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 If no one provides any feedback about that Vallejo, I use the AK Interactive matte varnish with great success. With the big bottle you get more liquid per price than Tamiya, at least here in the US. No need to thin, right into airbrush, and spray. If no airbrush I've hand brushed very small areas which worked out as well, but haven't attempted this with any large or flat areas. They have a matte and an ultra matte. I didn't really like their semi-gloss though. 1
Cookenbacher Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 I've used it and it works fine, and just bought more. 1
Earnest Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Never used Tamiya. Only this and it's fine. Quite forgiving. 1
Andy350 Posted January 14, 2020 Author Posted January 14, 2020 Thanks for the feedback, planing on completing the, 'F-104G' with this.
Matthew1974 Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 I use Vallejo polyurethane varnishes (26.650, 26.651, 26.652) right now mainly because I have them on hand. Like the polyurethane primers, they are temperamental to say the least. However, given proper application (multiple light coats) and enough curing time (about 3 - 4 days) they have proven to be resilient during the decal and weathering stages. 1
Andy350 Posted January 21, 2020 Author Posted January 21, 2020 I used this finish on the F-104G, went on really well, plus it was watered down by 50%, will work out a lot cheaper than the Tamiya TS-80.
Matthew1974 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Glad to hear! Once I run out of the polyurethane stuff I will give the Vallejo acrylic varnish a try. 1

Instructions say to brush on. cheers mike If you are talking about this one: https://acrylicosvallejo.com/en/product/crafts/auxiliaries-decorative-arts/matt-acrylic-varnish/ Then manual on page says: "Can be apply (sic) with airbrush or varnishing brush." It also says it can be diluted with water. Edited September 25, 2022 by Casey
