Acrylic paint VALLEJO 71.018, 17 ml, green, solvent-free liquid

VALLEJO 71.018 is a solvent-free, water-based acrylic paint in a 17 ml bottle, formulated for model making, miniatures and hobby painting. This green liquid paint is part of Vallejo's Model Air family, developed for airbrushing but compatible with brush application. The paint offers fine coverage, rapid drying and a homogeneous film that preserves fine surface detail. It is supplied as a single compact bottle suitable for detail work, touch-ups and layering techniques.

Advantages

This solvent-free acrylic paint provides consistent pigmentation and smooth flow for both airbrush and brush use. It dries quickly to a durable, even film and is formulated to retain small-scale detail on models and miniatures. The water-based composition allows thinning with water, Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver, and simplifies cleanup. The 17 ml bottle is convenient for precise application, storage and controlled dispensing.

Suitable for

• Airbrushing scale models, military models and vehicles
• Painting miniatures, figures and small details
• Hobby and craft projects requiring thin, even layers
• Layering, glazing and weathering techniques

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. For airbrushing, thin the paint as needed with water, Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to achieve the desired viscosity, and set compressor pressure to approximately 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg). Apply in several thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding the next to preserve surface details. For brush application, use straight from the bottle or slightly thinned for smoother coverage. Clean tools with water or Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner after use.

Usage recommendations

Prime surfaces before applying the paint to improve adhesion and color fidelity. Apply multiple thin coats rather than a single thick coat to avoid obscuring fine details and to achieve an even finish. For airbrush maintenance and optimal performance, use Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner.
