Acrylic paint VALLEJO 71.316 Dark Olive Drab 17 ml bottle

VALLEJO 71.316 Dark Olive Drab is a 17 ml water-based acrylic model paint supplied in a dispensing bottle designed for controlled application. Part of the VALLEJO Model Air family, this matt acrylic offers a historically researched military Dark Olive Drab tone suitable for scale models, miniatures and military kits. The fast-drying formula forms a uniform paint film that preserves fine model detail and can be mixed with other acrylics for shading and weathering effects.

Advantages

The paint is water-based and non-flammable, formulated for good atomization in airbrushes and reliable brush application. Its packaging with an eyedropper-style dispenser minimizes evaporation and drying in the container, enabling precise dosing and long-term storage. The color range is developed from historical references to provide accurate military tones, and the paint is compatible with Vallejo airbrush thinning and flow improver products to adjust viscosity and flow.

Suitable for

• Scale model aircraft, tanks and vehicles
• Miniatures and figures for wargaming and display
• Military dioramas and weathering/detailing work
• Airbrushing and brush painting techniques

Key specifications

• Finish: matt
• Base: water-based acrylic

How to use

For airbrushing, thin the paint if necessary with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to achieve the desired viscosity, and set compressor pressure in the 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg) range. Prime the model surface before painting. Apply Model Air in several thin layers rather than a single heavy coat to maintain surface detail and achieve even coverage. The paint can also be applied directly with a brush for small details and touch-ups. Clean the airbrush after use with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner.

Usage recommendations

Store bottles tightly closed, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the eyedropper dispenser to dose small quantities and reseal after each use to prevent drying. Refer to the product safety information for handling and disposal guidance.
