Paint Set VALLEJO AFV - WWII US Army Europe & North Africa 8 x 17 ml

VALLEJO AFV - WWII US Army Europe & North Africa 8 x 17 ml is a compact set of acrylic model paints formulated for accurate reproduction of United States Army vehicles and equipment used during World War II in the European and North African theatres. The eight 17 ml bottles contain historically themed shades selected for armor surfaces, vehicle bodies and smaller details. These paints provide consistent pigmentation, good flow and fast drying times suitable for model-building workflows including brushwork, airbrushing and layered weathering techniques.

Advantages

The acrylic formulation offers stable color with minimal settling and compatibility with common hobby thinning and cleaning agents. Each 17 ml bottle delivers uniform coverage for fine detail work and larger panels while remaining compatible with primers, varnishes and common weathering products. The set simplifies color selection for US Army WWII schemes by grouping complementary tones for authentic scale presentation.

Suitable for

• Painting 1/35 and 1/48 scale US Army tanks, half-tracks and trucks
• Detailing engine bays, interiors and field equipment on dioramas
• Airbrush base coats and brush-applied highlights or touch-ups
• Layering and weathering techniques such as washes, drybrushing and chipping

Key specifications

• Contents: 8 bottles of acrylic paint, 17 ml each
• Finish: matte to satin depending on dilution and varnish used
• Application: suitable for brush and airbrush
• Drying: fast-drying acrylic formulation
• Compatibility: adheres to primed plastic, resin and metal model surfaces

How to use

Shake each bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment dispersion. Apply over a compatible primer for best adhesion and color fidelity. For airbrushing, thin the paint with an appropriate acrylic thinner to the manufacturer-recommended viscosity; for brushwork, use directly or dilute slightly with water or acrylic medium. Allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent coats or weathering effects to avoid lifting. Finish with a suitable varnish to protect painted surfaces and adjust sheen.

Usage recommendations

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Test colors on a scrap surface or spare part to confirm shade and coverage before applying to the final model. Use compatible primers and varnishes to achieve durable and scale-accurate results when recreating WWII US Army Europe and North Africa schemes.
