Acrylic paint VALLEJO 71.309 Grey 17 ml bottle BS634

VALLEJO acrylic paint 71.309 Grey (BS634) is a water-based Model Air formulation supplied in a 17 ml bottle with an eyedropper/dispenser cap for controlled dosing. Designed for model making, miniatures and hobby crafts, this matt acrylic offers fast drying, stable coverage and the historical military shade Grey (BS634). The paint can be used directly from the bottle, airbrushed after appropriate thinning, or applied with a brush for detail work. The formulation is non-flammable and solvent-free, and dries to a homogenous, resistant film that preserves fine model details.

Advantages

The product provides consistent colour coverage and rapid drying, enabling layering and weathering techniques without obscuring surface detail. Its Model Air formulation is researched for historical accuracy and is suitable for use in airbrushes when diluted with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver. The 17 ml eyedropper bottle reduces evaporation and allows precise dispensing for minimal waste. Compatibility with water and acrylic thinners makes mixing and cleaning straightforward.

How to use

Prime the model surface before painting for optimal adhesion and colour fidelity. For airbrushing, thin the paint with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to the desired viscosity and set compressor pressure around 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg). Apply in several thin, even layers, allowing each layer to dry quickly before the next. The paint can also be used directly from the bottle or thinned with water for brush work when fine detail and layering are required. Clean airbrushes and brushes with appropriate cleaner or water after use.

Usage recommendations

Use light, multiple passes when airbrushing to avoid pooling; store bottles with the dispenser cap closed and at room temperature. Refer to certified safety information on the manufacturer’s safety page for handling and disposal guidance.
