Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 71.277 Dark Gull Gray 17 ml Bottle

VALLEJO 71.277 Dark Gull Gray is a 17 ml water-based acrylic paint supplied in a dispenser bottle designed for precise application. Part of the Model Air range, this matt gray shade is formulated for scale models, miniatures and hobby projects that require a neutral military gray. The paint can be used directly from the bottle for brushing or diluted for airbrushing with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver. It dries rapidly to a hard, even film that preserves fine surface detail and is suitable for layered techniques.

Advantages

The water-based, matt acrylic formulation allows easy thinning, layering and cleaning with water. The dispenser bottle supports controlled application and reduces waste. Model Air colors are researched for historical military accuracy and provide uniform coverage with rapid drying time, producing a durable finish that retains small-scale details.

Suitable for

• Scale model aircraft, vehicles and military miniatures
• Figure painting and small detailed parts
• Hobby and craft projects requiring a neutral gray base or topcoat

Key specifications

• Volume: 17 ml
• Finish: matt
• Base type: water-based acrylic
• Application methods: brush or airbrush (dilute for airbrushing)
• Fast drying with a homogenous, resistant paint film

How to use

For brushing, apply directly from the dispenser in thin, even coats, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next. For airbrushing, dilute the paint with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver following the manufacturer's dilution guidance and use compressor pressure around 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg) as a reference. It is recommended to prime the surface before painting. Clean tools and airbrush parts after use with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner or water for routine maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Apply several thin layers rather than a single thick coat to maintain detail. When airbrushing, test dilution and pressure on a scrap surface to achieve a smooth, even film. Store the bottle upright and shake before use to ensure uniform pigment dispersion.
