Acrylic paint bottle VALLEJO 70.317 Brown (British Tank Crew) 17 ml

VALLEJO 70.317 Brown (British Tank Crew) is a matt, opaque water-based acrylic paint supplied in a 17 ml eyedropper bottle. Formulated for brush-on use, this colour is part of a series developed with modelling experts to simplify painting uniforms and figures. The formula provides ready-to-use pigment with fast drying and self-leveling properties that preserve fine details on resin, plastic, metal and other modelling surfaces. The compact bottle design allows precise dosing for layering, touch-ups and detailed brushwork.

Advantages

This acrylic paint is matt and opaque, offering good coverage in thin coats and consistent colour for base, shadow and highlight techniques. The water-based formulation is non-flammable and solvent-free, enabling easy cleanup of brushes and tools with water. Rapid drying and excellent adhesion on common modelling materials make it suitable for both initial layers and fine detail work, while the eyedropper bottle prevents unnecessary evaporation and helps preserve remaining paint.

Suitable for

• Painting scale figures and military vehicle crews
• Brush-on base coating, layering and highlighting
• Touch-ups and small detail work on resin, plastic and metal models
• Hobby modelling where compact, easy-to-handle bottles are preferred

How to use

Apply the paint on a previously primed surface for best results. Shake the bottle gently before use, dispense a small amount onto a palette or mixing surface and apply with a suitable fine brush. Work in thin layers to build base tones, shadows and highlights, allowing each layer to dry quickly before adding the next. For very fine details, use minimal paint on the brush and add successive thin passes rather than thick coats.

Usage recommendations

Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use water for cleaning brushes and tools immediately after use. Apply on primed surfaces and allow each layer to dry to achieve smooth, even coverage and preserve fine detailing.
