Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 71.331 Green Bottle 17 ml, Cockpit Emerald Green (Faded)

VALLEJO 71.331 Green Bottle 17 ml, Cockpit Emerald Green (Faded) is a water-based acrylic model paint formulated for scale models, miniatures and detailed hobby work. Supplied in a 17 ml dispenser bottle for controlled dosing, this Model Air paint reproduces a faded cockpit emerald green tone commonly used on aircraft and military subjects. The acrylic formulation dries quickly to a matt finish, preserves fine surface detail and is suitable for airbrushing or brush application when thinly applied.

Advantages

This Vallejo Model Air acrylic offers an historically researched green tone with stable pigments and high adhesion to primed model surfaces. The water-based formula provides fast drying times and a homogenous paint film that retains small details. Supplied in a practical dropper bottle, it enables precise application and easy control of paint volume. The colour thins well for airbrushing with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver, and it is compatible with standard model preparation and finishing products.

How to use

Prime the model surface before painting to ensure adhesion and an even base tone. For airbrushing, dilute the paint as needed with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver and apply in several thin layers rather than a single heavy coat. Recommended compressor pressure is 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg/cm²). Allow each layer to dry quickly before applying the next to avoid runs and to preserve detail. The paint can also be applied directly with a brush for small areas, touch-ups and fine detailing.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and ensure good ventilation when airbrushing. Clean the airbrush after use with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner to maintain optimal performance. Test the colour on a spare surface to determine thinning ratio and layering technique for the desired faded cockpit emerald green effect.
