White is one of those colours a modeller goes through without noticing: mixing base, highlights, backgrounds, uniforms, light bodywork and countless details that call for it in almost every project. Vallejo Model Color 951 is the reference white of the range, with code 001, matt finish and a formula that has spent years earning the trust of painters working on miniatures, scale models or any piece that demands real coverage from the first coat.
A formula built to perform on the workbench
The 18 ml dropper bottle is not a minor detail: it lets you dose with precision, keeps the paint from drying out between sessions and makes mixing easier without waste. The updated Model Color formula brings improvements in brushability, which translates into a smoother application with a brush, no stroke marks and full respect for the fine details of the piece. Drying is fast, coverage is excellent and the matt finish produces no reflections that would distort the visual reading of the finished work.
Matt white, high performance at the painting bench
Applied over a primed surface, 951 covers solidly and allows you to work on top with washes, shading or colour layers without the base giving way. It is the kind of white that works equally well for an infantry uniform, the bodywork of a competition car in scale model form, a wargame figure or any fine arts project that needs a clean, gloss-free white. A reference that belongs on every serious workbench, and one that sees more use than you might expect once you start painting regularly.
Vallejo Model Color: water-based acrylic, non-toxic and highly pigmented
The Model Color range from Acrylicos Vallejo is one of the most recognised worldwide in the field of scale modelling and miniatures. Non-toxic formula, water-based and high pigmentation are the three reasons why this white, like the rest of the range, has become a constant in workshops, workbenches and paint collections of hobbyists and professionals alike.
