Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 71.086 Light Red 17 ml bottle - artist/model paint

VALLEJO 71.086 Light Red is a water-based acrylic paint supplied in a 17 ml bottle with a dispenser cap, formulated for modelling, miniatures and fine detail work. Part of the VALLEJO Model Air range, this matt acrylic provides opaque red coverage that dries quickly to a resistant paint film while preserving fine surface detail. The product is suitable for brushing and airbrushing when diluted with appropriate thinner or flow improver, and is designed for use on primed plastic, metal and similar modelling surfaces.

Advantages

This matt, water-based acrylic offers fast drying, good opacity and stable pigmentation for layering, touch-ups and blending. The eyedropper-style 17 ml bottle minimizes evaporation and waste, helping preserve remaining paint for future use. Model Air colours form a uniform, durable film that maintains fine sculpted details and are produced to match historical and military references where applicable. The formulation is non-flammable and solvent-free.

How to use

Prime the model surface before applying paint. Shake the bottle well and dispense the required amount. For airbrushing, dilute with VALLEJO Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to the desired viscosity and use a compressor pressure around 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg) for best results. Apply in several thin, even layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next. For brush application, use thin coats to avoid obscuring details and allow adequate drying time between coats. Clean airbrush and tools with appropriate cleaner after use.

Usage recommendations

Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use recommended thinners and cleaners for airbrush maintenance. Consult the product safety information for handling guidance and disposal instructions.
