I want to see if I can complete the painting of a Tiger Tank (excluding sealing) in one night. Does anyone know how long Vallejo takes to dry before you can paint over it and is it possible to get good results in one night?

As long as you don't need to mask anything, it should dry within minutes. If you are masking, the tape may pull the paint off before it is truly dry.

The lower the humidity the faster it drys.

It think it dries well enough to paint over it within a few minutes but once the model is finished I'd leave it for at least three days to really dry before varnishing. I've noticed on my models the paint goes very slightly more matt after about 3/4 days.

Would be different in Arizona and in Mayotte.
