Acrylic paint VALLEJO 71.302 Sky Type S Green, 17 ml bottle

VALLEJO 71.302 Sky Type S Green is a 17 ml bottle of water-based matt acrylic model paint formulated for scale models, miniatures and hobby projects. Supplied with a dispenser cap, this Sky Type S Green from the Model Air family is suitable for brush application or for airbrushing when thinned. The formulation is designed to deliver rapid drying, a uniform matt finish and good adhesion while preserving fine surface detail.

Advantages

This water-based acrylic paint provides historically researched military coloration suitable for model aircraft and vehicles. It can be used directly or diluted with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver for smoother flow through the airbrush. The compact 17 ml bottle with dispenser enables controlled application and convenient storage for touch-ups and detail work. Dries quickly to a durable, homogeneous film that resists wear while maintaining tiny surface details.

Suitable for

• Scale aircraft and military vehicle models
• Miniatures and figure painting requiring greys/green aviation shades
• Airbrush and brush detailing on hobby projects
• Touch-ups and fine detailing where controlled dispensing is needed

Key specifications

• Color family: Sky/aircraft green (Sky Type S Green)
• Finish: Matt
• Base: Water-based acrylic
• Volume: 17 ml bottle with dispenser
• Application methods: Brush or airbrush (thin as needed)
• Drying: Fast-drying to a homogeneous paint film

How to use

Prime the model surface before painting to improve adhesion and uniformity. For airbrushing, dilute the paint with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to the desired consistency and use a compressor pressure around 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg) as a general guideline. Apply in several thin layers rather than a single heavy coat, allowing each layer to dry briefly between passes. For brush work, apply thin, even coats to avoid obscuring details.

Usage recommendations

Maintain the airbrush by cleaning with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner after use. Store the bottle upright with the dispenser cap closed and keep away from extreme temperatures. Test compatibility on a sample surface before large-area application and follow safety instructions for water-based acrylic paints.
