Acrylic paint bottle VALLEJO 71.142 Grey (IDF Sinai Grey 82), 17 ml

VALLEJO 71.142 Grey (IDF Sinai Grey 82) is a 17 ml water-based matt acrylic paint from the Model Air range. Supplied in a dropper-style dispenser bottle for controlled dosing, this colour is specifically matched to historical military references and formulated for fine-scale modelling, miniatures and hobby detailing. The paint is ready for airbrushing when used directly or after dilution with appropriate thinner, and it dries fast to a uniform, durable film while preserving surface detail.

Advantages

This matt acrylic offers historical colour accuracy derived from research into military references, a non-flammable, solvent-free formulation and rapid drying that maintains small-scale detail. The eyedropper bottle prevents excessive evaporation and allows precise control over dosing. The paint is compatible with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner, Flow Improver and Airbrush Cleaner for straightforward thinning and maintenance, and it can be applied by airbrush or brush depending on the task.

Suitable for

• Scale models of military vehicles and aircraft where IDF Sinai Grey 82 is required
• Miniature figures and diorama elements needing historically researched grey tones
• Airbrushing base coats, layering and weathering effects on small parts
• Brush painting fine details and touch-ups on models and accessories

How to use

Shake the bottle before use and dispense the required amount using the dropper tip. For airbrushing use the paint neat for single-pass coverage or dilute with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to adjust viscosity for your nozzle size. Apply in several thin layers rather than a single heavy coat, allowing each layer to dry quickly between passes. For brush application use directly or thin slightly for smoother flow. Clean tools and the airbrush with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner or water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Prime the surface before applying Model Air for optimal adhesion and colour consistency. For airbrushing keep compressor pressure in the 15–20 PSI range and build up colour through multiple thin layers. Store the bottle upright with the cap tightly closed and avoid freezing temperatures to preserve product performance.
