Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 71.136 IJA Earth Brown, Bottle 17 ml

VALLEJO 71.136 IJA Earth Brown is a water-based, matt acrylic paint supplied in a 17 ml dispensing bottle designed for controlled application. Part of the Model Air range, this IJA Earth Brown tone is formulated for scale models, military miniatures and hobby projects where historically researched military colours and fine surface detail are required. The paint is compatible with primed surfaces suitable for acrylics and can be used for basecoating, detailing, layering and airbrushing when diluted with a suitable thinner or flow improver.

Advantages

This water-based acrylic offers rapid drying and forms a uniform, abrasion-resistant paint film that preserves fine model details. The eyedropper bottle packaging minimises evaporation and drying in the container, allowing precise dispensing and long storage. Model Air colours have been developed from historical references to provide accurate military tones and are suitable for direct application or for dilution with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver. The formula is non-flammable and solvent-free.

Suitable for

• Scale model basecoats and finishes

How to use

Prime the model surface with an appropriate acrylic primer and shake the bottle before use.

Apply the paint in several thin layers to build uniform coverage while preserving detail. For brush application use thin coats, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next. Clean the airbrush and tools after use with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner or suitable water-based cleaner.

Usage recommendations

Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use on properly primed surfaces and apply in thin, even layers to achieve historical and visually accurate results. Consult the product safety information for handling details; although the paint is non-flammable and solvent-free, follow standard workshop safety and ventilation practices.
