Acrylic paint VALLEJO 71.124 USAF Green bottle 17 ml

VALLEJO 71.124 USAF Green bottle 17 ml is a matt, water-based acrylic model paint supplied in a 17 ml eyedropper bottle. Part of the Model Air range, this colour reproduces a historically researched military green used in modern US Air Force schemes. The formulation is suitable for airbrushing or brush application and is designed for scale models, miniatures and other hobby projects on primed plastics, resin and metal. The paint dries rapidly to a uniform, resistant film while preserving fine surface detail.

Advantages

This Model Air acrylic paint is non-flammable and solvent-free, providing safer handling compared with solvent-based alternatives. The eyedropper bottle packaging reduces evaporation and drying in the container, allowing precise dispensing and long shelf life. Colours in the Model Air range are the result of research into historical military references, offering accurate tones for modelers. The paint can be used directly or diluted with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver for smoother flow and finer layering.

Suitable for

• Scale aircraft models and military miniatures requiring USAF green tones
• Primed plastic, resin and metal model surfaces
• Airbrushing at low compressor pressure or brush application for detail work

Key specifications

• Finish: matt
• Base: water-based acrylic
• Volume: 17 ml (0.57 fl. oz.)
• Packaging: eyedropper bottle for controlled dispensing
• Application methods: airbrush (recommended dilution with airbrush thinner or flow improver) and brush
• Drying: rapid drying to a uniform, resistant film
• Airbrush operation: recommended compressor pressure 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg) for spray application

How to use

Prime the model surface before painting to ensure adhesion and uniform colour. For airbrushing, the paint can be used directly or diluted with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to achieve the desired viscosity; set compressor pressure to about 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg). Apply in several thin layers, allowing each layer to dry quickly before adding the next to preserve surface detail. For brush work, use appropriate brushes and thin the paint as needed for smooth application. Clean tools and airbrush with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner or water as appropriate.

Usage recommendations

Store bottles tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Follow safety information provided by the manufacturer; consult the product Safety Data Sheet for full details. Test compatibility with primers and varnishes on a sample before use when working on critical projects.
