Acrylic paint bottle VALLEJO 71.244 Brown / Sand Beige, 17 ml

VALLEJO 71.244 Brown / Sand Beige is a 17 ml water-based acrylic paint formulated for hobbyists and modelers. Presented in a dispensing bottle for controlled application, this matt Model Air shade reproduces historical military tones and is suitable for fine detail, weathering and base coats on miniatures, scale models and dioramas. The fast-drying formulation forms a uniform, durable film while preserving surface detail and allowing layer buildup and blending.

Advantages

This matt acrylic color offers excellent flow and coverage for airbrushing or brush application. Its water-based formula thins easily with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver and cleans up with water when wet. Designed to retain fine detail, the paint dries quickly to a resistant finish and is compatible with typical modeling primers and varnishes. The dispensing bottle enables precise dosage and reduces waste during detailed work.

• Airbrushing military models, vehicles and aircraft

How to use

For airbrushing, shake the bottle well and dilute the paint with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to the desired consistency. Recommended compressor pressure for airbrushing is 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 detail and avoid pooling. For brush application, use undiluted or slightly thinned paint and apply with fine brushes for detail work. Clean tools and airbrush with water or Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Prime the model surface before painting to improve adhesion and color fidelity. Test dilution ratios on a spare surface to achieve the preferred coverage and spray pattern. Store the bottle capped and upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
