Acrylic paint VALLEJO 71.284 Brown, 17 ml, liquid acrylic paint

VALLEJO 71.284 Brown is a 17 ml liquid acrylic paint formulated for model-making, miniatures and other hobby painting tasks. This water-based, matt acrylic from the Model Air family is designed for use with airbrushes and brushes, offering quick drying, good adhesion to common modelling surfaces and high detail retention. The bottle comes with an eyedropper cap to facilitate precise application and preserve the remaining paint.

Advantages

The paint is water-based and non-flammable, formulated for smooth atomization and uniform coverage in airbrushing as well as comfortable application with brushes. It dries rapidly to a matt, durable film that preserves fine model detail and resists wear. The eyedropper bottle prevents unnecessary evaporation and allows economical use for small-scale work, layering and colour mixing.

Suitable for

• Airbrushing military and historical scale models
• Painting miniatures and figures
• Detail work, layering and colour blending on plastic, resin and metal
• Touch-ups and scenic or diorama painting

How to use

For airbrushing, shake the bottle well and, if required, dilute with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to achieve the desired viscosity. Use a compressor pressure of approximately 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg) and apply several thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before the next application. For brush application, use directly or slightly thinned for smoother flow; apply thin, controlled strokes to preserve detail. Always prime the surface before painting to ensure optimal adhesion and even results.

Usage recommendations

Use the eyedropper bottle to dispense small amounts and reseal after use to prevent drying. Clean airbrushes and brushes promptly with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner or water to maintain equipment performance. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and follow certified safety information when handling.
