Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 70.318 Brown (US Army Tank Crew) 17 ml Bottle

VALLEJO 70.318 Brown (US Army Tank Crew) is a 17 ml water-based acrylic model paint supplied in a dispensing bottle. Developed for brush-on use in scale modelling and figure painting, this matt, opaque brown tone is intended to reproduce US Army tank crew uniforms and details. The formulation offers rapid drying, good self-leveling and retention of fine model detail on prepared surfaces of plastic, resin and metal. The bottle dispenser with eyedropper-style cap helps control small quantities and reduces drying inside the container.

Advantages

The paint is matt and opaque with water-based acrylic binders that allow easy brush application, blending and weathering. It adheres well to primed plastic, resin and white metal, dries quickly to a uniform finish and preserves fine sculpted detail. Packaging in a 17 ml dispensing bottle minimizes waste and keeps the remaining paint usable for extended periods. Brushes and tools are cleaned with water, and the product is solvent-free and non-flammable.

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use. Apply the paint to a previously primed model surface using a suitable artist or model brush. Work in thin layers for even coverage and allow each layer to dry before applying further coats. The dispensing bottle allows precise control of the amount placed on a palette. For blending, highlights and shadows, apply progressively thinner layers or mix with a small amount of water to extend open working time. After use, close the cap securely to prevent contamination and evaporation.

Usage recommendations

Use on properly primed surfaces for best adhesion and color fidelity. Test compatibility on a small area when applying to unusual materials. Store upright in a cool, dry place and avoid freezing temperatures. Consult the product safety information for handling and disposal instructions.
