Acrylic paint VALLEJO 71.027 Light Brown 17 ml bottle

VALLEJO 71.027 Light Brown is a 17 ml bottle of water-based acrylic paint formulated for model making, miniatures, hobby and craft projects. Presented in a dispenser bottle, this ready-to-use acrylic colour is part of the Model Air range and delivers a matt finish suitable for both airbrushing and brush application. The formulation allows easy thinning, mixing and cleanup while preserving fine surface detail on prepared models.

Advantages

This Light Brown acrylic paint offers rapid drying and forms a homogeneous, durable paint film that maintains the smallest details of the model. The water-based formulation enables straightforward thinning and mixing with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver for airbrush use, and cleaning is simple with water or Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner. Supplied in a 17 ml dispenser bottle, it provides controlled application whether used directly from the bottle, with an airbrush at recommended pressures, or applied by brush.

Suitable for

• Airbrushing model kits and scale miniatures
• Detail painting on prepared surfaces
• Layering and shading in hobby and craft projects
• Brush application for small details and touch-ups

How to use

Prime the surface before painting to ensure adhesion and uniform coverage. For airbrushing, dilute the paint as required with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver and set compressor pressure to approximately 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg). Apply the colour in several thin layers, allowing each layer to dry rapidly before adding the next to avoid build-up. For brush application use the paint directly or thin slightly with water for smoother flow; clean tools with water or Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner after use.

Usage recommendations

Use this Model Air Light Brown for historically accurate military colours in scale models and miniatures. Apply in multiple thin coats for an even matt finish and maintain airbrush cleanliness with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner. Store the dispenser bottle upright and tightly closed in a cool, dry place when not in use.
