Acrylic paint VALLEJO 71.348 Beige 17 ml – liquid hobby/art paint

VALLEJO 71.348 Beige 17 ml is a water-based, matt acrylic paint designed for hobby, model making and fine craft work. Supplied in a 17 ml tube, this liquid acrylic offers consistent pigmentation and fast drying, suitable for brush, airbrush or detail work on models, miniatures and dioramas. Formulated to preserve fine surface detail, it provides a homogenous paint film with good resistance for small-scale painting tasks.

Advantages

This matt acrylic is water-based and specifically formulated for airbrushing while remaining fully usable with brushes for detail and touch-ups. The colour offers stable coverage and easy thinning for layering, glazing and precision work. Rapid drying reduces waiting time between layers and the paint film maintains small-scale detail, making it suitable for modelling where accuracy and surface fidelity are important.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models and military miniatures
• Dioramas and scenic elements
• Brush detailing and small repairs on painted models
• Airbrushing with diluted mixes for even coats and shading

Key specifications

• Finish: matt
• Base: water-based acrylic
• Container volume: 17 ml
• Application methods: airbrush or brush
• Drying: rapid drying for multiple layers
• Compatibility: thinnable with airbrush thinner or flow improver

How to use

Prime the model surface before applying the paint to ensure adhesion and consistent colour. For airbrushing, dilute the paint as needed with a compatible airbrush thinner or flow improver and set compressor pressure around 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg) for even atomisation. Apply in several thin layers rather than a single heavy coat to preserve details and achieve an even matt finish. For brush application, use thin, controlled strokes and allow the paint to dry between layers for glazing and layering techniques.

Usage recommendations

Use a suitable primer and, for airbrushing, dilute with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver for optimal flow. Clean airbrush equipment promptly with an appropriate cleaner to prevent clogging and maintain consistent spray performance.
