Acrylic paint bottle VALLEJO 71.118 Brown 17 ml (Camouflage Grey)

VALLEJO 71.118 Brown 17 ml (Camouflage Grey) is a water-based acrylic model paint supplied in a 17 ml dispenser bottle designed for precise application on miniatures, scale models and other hobby projects. Part of the Model Air range, this matt acrylic colour reproduces military tones researched for historical accuracy and is formulated for airbrushing but can also be applied with a brush. The bottle format and nozzle allow controlled dispensing and mixing, and the paint dries quickly to a uniform, durable film while preserving fine detail.

Advantages

This matt acrylic paint is water-based, compatible with Model Air thinner and flow improver for controlled viscosity when airbrushing. It delivers rapid drying, good adhesion and a homogeneous finish that preserves surface detail. The dispenser bottle supports precise application and mixing, and the formulation enables easy cleanup with water or designated airbrush cleaner.

Suitable for

• Airbrushing military and scale models
• Painting miniatures and figures
• Detail work and weathering on model kits
• Hobby projects requiring matt camouflage tones

How to use

Prime the surface before applying the paint for best adhesion and colour uniformity. For airbrushing, dilute the paint as needed with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver and set compressor pressure around 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg). Apply in several thin layers rather than a single heavy coat, allowing each layer to dry quickly before the next application. For brush application, use thin, even coats to preserve fine model detail. Clean tools and the airbrush after use with water or Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner.

Usage recommendations

Use multiple thin passes for an even matt finish and to avoid obscuring small details. Store the bottle upright, tightly closed and away from extreme temperatures. When airbrushing, test dilution and pressure on a scrap surface to optimise flow and atomisation.
