Acrylic paint bottle VALLEJO 71.272 German Yellow Brown 17 ml

VALLEJO 71.272 German Yellow Brown is a 17 ml water-based acrylic paint supplied in a dispenser bottle designed for controlled application. Part of the Model Air/Model Color family, this matt acrylic formula is suitable for model painting, miniatures and scale models where historical military colours and fine detail preservation are important. The paint can be used directly from the bottle or diluted for airbrush use and forms a homogeneous, fast-drying film that maintains surface detail.

Advantages

The matt, water-based formulation dries quickly, offers good adhesion and creates a durable paint film without obscuring fine model detail. The dispenser bottle with eyedropper reduces evaporation and allows precise dosing for brush or airbrush work. The colour is researched for historical accuracy within military model ranges. Because it is water-based and non-flammable, it is easier to thin, clean and store compared with solvent-based alternatives.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models and military miniatures
• Airbrushing camouflage and detailed surfaces
• Brush work for weathering, layering and fine-detail painting
• Touch-ups and small repairs on painted models

How to use

Shake the bottle before use and apply directly for brush work or dilute with a Vallejo airbrush thinner or flow improver for airbrushing. Prime the surface first for optimal adhesion and apply the paint in several thin layers, allowing each layer to dry between coats. For airbrushing, set compressor pressure around 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg) and adjust dilution until the desired spray pattern and coverage are achieved. Clean tools and the airbrush promptly after use with water or a recommended airbrush cleaner.

Usage recommendations

Use on primed surfaces and build up colour in several thin layers rather than a single heavy coat. Store the dispenser bottle tightly closed and away from direct heat or sunlight to preserve the product. Consult the product safety information for handling and disposal guidance.
