Acrylic paint VALLEJO 70.341, red, 17 ml (art/craft paint)

VALLEJO 70.341 is a matt, opaque water-based acrylic paint in red supplied in a 17 ml bottle, formulated for brush-on use in modelling, miniature painting and hobby crafts. Designed to give a homogenous, self-leveling finish that preserves fine detail, this liquid acrylic is suitable for application on primed surfaces and performs well on common modelling supports such as plastic, resin, white metal and steel. The fast-drying formulation allows easy thinning with water, layering and clean-up, making it practical for small-scale painting tasks and general artistic use.

Advantages

VALLEJO 70.341 offers a matt, opaque coverage that conceals underlying tones while keeping surface texture and fine details visible. The water-based formula enables straightforward thinning and blending with water without affecting adhesion on properly prepared surfaces. It dries quickly to a uniform film and adheres well to plastics, resins, metals and painted primers, reducing the risk of brush strokes and providing consistent colour for base coats, shadows and highlights in figure and model painting.

Suitable for

• Model kits and scale models (plastic, resin, white metal)
• Miniature figures and wargaming models
• Hobby crafts, dioramas and small scenic elements
• Detail painting, base coats, shadows and highlights

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use. Apply the paint on a previously primed surface for best adhesion and colour fidelity. For thin layers or glazing effects, dilute with a small amount of water and mix thoroughly; for full coverage use undiluted or slightly thinned paint. Work with fine brushes for detail areas and allow each layer to dry completely before applying subsequent coats. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Use a primer suited to the model material to improve adhesion and colour accuracy. When working on small figures, build colour in thin successive layers—base coat, shadows, and highlights—to achieve even coverage and preserve surface detail. Store the bottle tightly closed and away from frost and direct sunlight.
