Acrylic paint VALLEJO 71.335 Grey 17 ml single bottle

VALLEJO 71.335 Grey is a 17 ml single bottle of water-based matt acrylic paint from the Model Air line, formulated for model making, miniatures and craft painting. The paint offers smooth coverage, fast drying and preserves fine surface detail. Its eyedropper-style bottle packaging reduces evaporation and allows precise dispensing for touch-ups, base coats and color mixing. Model Air colors are designed for airbrushing but are also suitable for brush application when required.

Advantages

This matt acrylic paint provides uniform, thin layers that build smoothly without obscuring small details. The water-based formulation dries rapidly to a durable, homogenous film and is non-flammable and solvent-free. The compact 17 ml bottle with an eyedropper cap minimises waste and enables accurate dosing for small projects. Model Air tones are researched to match historic military palettes and are compatible with Vallejo airbrush thinner, flow improver and recommended cleaners.

Suitable for

• Airbrushing military models, aircraft and vehicles
• Painting miniatures and figures with fine detail
• Touch-ups and small-area repairs
• Layering, glazing and color mixing for scale models

Key specifications

• Volume: 17 ml

How to use

Prime the surface before applying the paint to ensure adhesion and even coverage. For airbrushing, use the paint directly or dilute with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to the desired viscosity; recommended compressor pressure is 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg). Apply several thin layers rather than a single heavy coat, allowing each layer to dry quickly before the next. For brush application, use thin, even strokes and build up opacity with multiple passes. Clean the airbrush after use with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner to maintain performance.

Usage recommendations

Store in a cool, dry place and seal the bottle after use to prevent contamination and drying. Shake well before use to ensure pigment dispersion. Test color and dilution on a spare surface prior to application on the final model.
