Acrylic paint VALLEJO 71.130 Orange, 17 ml, liquid, solvent-free

VALLEJO 71.130 Orange is a solvent-free liquid acrylic paint in a 17 ml bottle, formulated for model making, miniatures and hobby painting. Part of the Model Air range, this matt, water-based color is developed for airbrushing but can also be applied with a brush. The formulation provides consistent pigmentation, rapid drying and a homogeneous paint film that preserves fine detail on plastic, metal and resin models. Clean-up is achieved with water.

Advantages

This orange Model Air paint is water-based and solvent-free, minimizing strong odors and simplifying cleaning with water. It is designed for airbrushing: the viscosity and pigment load allow direct use or dilution with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver for controlled flow. The paint dries quickly to a matt finish and forms a durable film that maintains model detail, suitable for layering, washes and fine detail work.

Suitable for

• Airbrushing military, historical and contemporary scale models
• Painting miniatures and figures where fine detail retention is required
• Layering, glazing and washes on plastic, resin and metal model parts
• Brush application for touch-ups and small areas

How to use

Prime the model surface before painting to ensure adhesion and uniform coverage. For airbrushing, use the paint directly or thin with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to achieve the desired viscosity; recommended compressor pressure is approximately 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg). Apply in several thin layers, allowing rapid drying between coats to build even color and preserve detail. The paint can also be applied with a fine brush for touch-ups or small areas. Clean application tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For best results when airbrushing, thin gradually and test spray on a spare surface to adjust flow. Prime surfaces compatible with acrylics, use several thin passes rather than one thick coat, and maintain airbrush cleanliness with a suitable cleaner to prevent clogging.
