Acrylic paint bottle VALLEJO 71.318 Blue AMT-7 Greyish Blue, 17 ml

VALLEJO acrylic paint 71.318 Blue AMT-7 Greyish Blue in a 17 ml dispenser bottle is a water-based, matt acrylic designed for precise model and miniature painting. Part of the Model Air series, this colour is formulated for airbrushing but can also be applied with a brush. The paint offers rapid drying, a uniform matt finish and good resistance while preserving fine surface details, and it is suitable for small-volume controlled application thanks to the dispenser bottle.

Advantages

This Model Air acrylic provides historically researched military colour accuracy and a stable, homogenous paint film. The water-based formulation allows easy thinning with dedicated thinners or flow improvers for controlled atomization in airbrush use, while its fast drying time reduces handling delays. The dispenser bottle permits accurate dosing with minimal waste, and the matt finish maintains fine details on scale models and miniatures.

Suitable for

• Airbrushing military scale models and aircraft models
• Painting miniatures and figures with fine detail
• Detailing and touch-ups on scale models
• Layering and weathering techniques when diluted appropriately

How to use

Prime the model surface before applying paint to ensure adhesion and uniform appearance. For airbrushing, dilute the paint with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to the desired viscosity and set compressor pressure to approximately 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg). Apply in several thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before the next to build an even matt coating without obscuring details. For brush application, use thin layers and allow full drying between coats.

Usage recommendations

Use a primer suited to the model material and follow thinning guidelines for airbrush use. Clean the airbrush with a suitable cleaner after use to maintain performance. Store the bottle upright, tightly closed and away from extreme temperatures.
