Vallejo Gloss Medium is a useful addition for anyone working with acrylic paints in scale modelling. It's used to give a glossy finish by mixing it directly with the paint, rather than applying a separate gloss coat later. This can help you achieve the right level of sheen for models that need a polished appearance.
If you're painting vehicles, aircraft or figures where a shiny surface is important, adding gloss medium helps the paint flow more smoothly and can make transitions between colours look more even. It’s also handy when you're applying decals, as a gloss surface reduces the risk of silvering and ensures better adhesion.
Since it's water-based, it's easy to clean up with water and it dries quickly, allowing you to continue working without long delays. It's a straightforward product to use, making it practical for both experienced modellers and those just starting out.
