Acrylic paint bottle VALLEJO 71.112 (Sand/Brown), 17 ml, dropper bottle

VALLEJO acrylic paint 71.112 (Sand/Brown) in a 17 ml dropper bottle is a matt, water-based pigment designed for scale models, miniatures and detailed hobby work. Supplied in a small dropper-style container for controlled application, this Model Air-compatible paint can be applied directly or diluted for airbrushing and brushwork. The formulation dries rapidly to form a uniform, resistant film while preserving fine model details, and it cleans up easily with water.

Advantages

This matt acrylic offers historically researched military color accuracy within the Model Air range, providing consistent tone and coverage for small-scale projects. Its water-based composition allows thinning with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver for smoother airbrush performance, and it can also be used straight from the bottle for brush painting. Rapid drying, good adhesion and a durable paint film make it suitable for layered techniques and fine detail work.

Suitable for

• Scale models and military miniatures requiring accurate sand/brown tones
• Airbrushing with Model Air-compatible thinner or for low-pressure compressors
• Brush painting small details and touch-ups
• Hobby projects needing fast-drying, matt acrylic finish

Key specifications

• Finish: matt
• Base: water-based acrylic
• Volume: 17 ml
• Packing: dropper-style bottle for controlled dispensing
• Application methods: airbrush (dilutable) and brush
• Drying: rapid drying to a uniform paint film

How to use

Prime the model surface before painting to ensure optimal adhesion. For airbrushing, dilute the paint with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to the desired viscosity and use low compressor pressure (typically recommended 15–20 PSI or 0.5–1 kg). Apply in several thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before the next to preserve detail. For brush application, use the paint directly from the bottle or slightly thinned with water for smoother coverage. Clean brushes and airbrush with water or Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner after use.

Usage recommendations

Use a primer compatible with acrylic paints, apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat, and store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly closed to maintain pigment quality. For airbrushing maintenance, use a dedicated cleaner to prevent nozzle clogging.
