Acrylic paint VALLEJO 71.122 Brown 17 ml – liquid model paint, 1 pc

VALLEJO 71.122 Brown is a 17 ml tube of liquid, water-based acrylic paint from the Model Air range, formulated for scale models, miniatures and detailed hobby work. The paint is designed for airbrushing when used directly or thinned, and can also be applied by brush. Model Air colors are research-based military tones covering historical periods from WWI and WWII to modern schemes. The 17 ml eyedropper-style bottle minimizes evaporation and preserves small quantities for extended use.

Advantages

This brown acrylic paint dries rapidly to form a uniform, matt film that preserves fine surface detail and offers strong adhesion on primed model surfaces. The water-based formulation is non-flammable and free of solvents, allowing easy thinning for airbrush application and straightforward cleanup with water or a dedicated airbrush cleaner. The small-volume packaging and precise dropper tip support controlled application and color matching during layering and detailing.

Suitable for

• Airbrushing scale models and miniatures
• Brush painting fine details and weathering effects
• Layering, glazing and color matching in dioramas and crafts
• Historical military model finishes requiring accurate brown tones

Key specifications

• Volume: 17 ml (0.57 fl. oz.)
• Finish: Matt
• Base: Water-based acrylic
• Application: Airbrush (recommended 15–20 PSI) or brush
• Drying: Rapid-drying to a uniform film
• Packing: Eyedropper-style bottle to prevent evaporation

How to use

Prime the model surface before applying the paint to ensure optimal adhesion and color fidelity. For airbrushing, use the paint directly or thin with a compatible airbrush thinner or flow improver to reach the desired viscosity; recommended compressor pressure is 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg). Apply in several thin layers rather than a single heavy coat, allowing each layer to dry between passes. For brush application, use a suitable synthetic or natural brush and thin the paint slightly if necessary to improve flow and reduce brush marks. Clean tools and equipment with water or a specialized airbrush cleaner after use.

Usage recommendations

Store upright in a cool, dry place and reseal the eyedropper cap after each use to preserve the paint. When airbrushing, test spray on a disposable surface to adjust thinning and pressure. Follow safety data sheet instructions for handling and disposal; the water-based formula is non-flammable and designed for hobby use.
