VALLEJO acrylic paint 71.288 Brown in a 17 ml bottle (Uk BSC 64 Portland Stone) is a water-based, matt acrylic formulated for modelling and scale painting. Supplied in a small, squeezable bottle with a controlled dispensing tip, this paint suits detailed work, touch-ups and layered applications. The colour corresponds to a researched military reference and integrates with Vallejo Model Air workflows for brush or airbrush use.

Advantages

The matt, water-based formulation offers rapid drying and a uniform, durable film that preserves fine surface detail. The 17 ml bottle with precision tip enables controlled application and economical usage. Compatibility with Vallejo airbrush thinners and flow improvers allows easy dilution for airbrushing, while simple water cleanup supports convenient maintenance.

• Model making and scale miniature painting

• Hobby and craft projects requiring matt, quick-drying acrylics

How to use

Shake the bottle before use. For brushing apply thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding the next to achieve an even matt finish. For airbrushing dilute with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to the desired viscosity and spray at recommended compressor pressures of approximately 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg). Prime the surface beforehand and apply several thin coats rather than a single heavy coat. Clean brushes and airbrush with water or Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner after use.

Usage recommendations

The paint is suitable for both direct application and dilution for airbrushing; for best results prime models first, use multiple thin layers, and maintain airbrushes with appropriate cleaner. Store in a cool, dry place and reseal the bottle after use to preserve consistency.
