Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 71.346 Grey (Russian AF Grey), 17 ml bottle

VALLEJO 71.346 Grey (Russian AF Grey) is a 17 ml water-based acrylic model paint from the Model Air range, supplied in a dispenser bottle for controlled application. Formulated for modeling and hobby use, this matt acrylic reproduces a historically researched Russian air force grey and is suitable for both airbrushing and brushwork. The paint dries quickly to a uniform, durable film while preserving surface detail and allows thinning, layering and weathering techniques.

Advantages

This Model Air formulation is water-based and non-flammable, enabling easy thinning with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver and straightforward cleanup with water. The eyedropper dispenser minimizes evaporation and keeps the product usable for extended periods. Rapid drying and a matt finish yield consistent coverage for scale models, miniatures and military subjects while maintaining fine details for precise weathering and highlighting.

Suitable for

• Scale aircraft models, especially Russian AF and historical military aircraft
• Military vehicle miniatures and dioramas requiring authentic grey tones
• Miniature painting and brush-applied base coats
• Airbrushing with compressors at recommended low pressures

How to use

Prime the model surface before applying VALLEJO 71.346 Grey for optimal adhesion and colour fidelity. For airbrushing, dilute the paint as needed with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver and set compressor pressure in the 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg/cm2) range for best atomization. Apply in several thin, even layers allowing brief drying time between coats to build colour and avoid obscuring detail. For brush application use thinned or straight from the bottle depending on desired coverage and texture. Clean tools and airbrush with water or Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner after use.

Usage recommendations

Use thin successive layers rather than a single heavy coat to preserve model detail. Store the bottle upright with the cap closed to prevent contamination and prolong shelf life. Consult the product's certified safety information for handling and disposal guidance.
