Acrylic paint VALLEJO 72.042 Brown 17 ml (art/craft paint)

VALLEJO 72.042 Brown is a 17 ml bottle of water-based acrylic paint formulated for art and craft applications, including miniature painting, model making and hobby projects. This solvent-free, matt and opaque colour is designed for brush-on use and provides consistent coverage with quick drying and self-leveling properties that preserve fine surface detail. The product is intended for use on previously primed surfaces and shows strong adhesion to common modelling materials such as resin, plastic, metal and similar substrates. Brushes and tools are cleaned with water.

Advantages

This water-based acrylic offers matt, opaque coverage in a compact 17 ml format suited to precise colour work and touch-ups. The formulation delivers rapid drying, a homogenous film and good self-leveling that preserves miniature detail. Because the paint is solvent-free and non-flammable it is suitable for hobby environments where easy cleanup and safer handling are important. The product demonstrates strong adhesion on typical modelling materials and was developed with input from model-painters focused on fantasy figures and dioramas.

Suitable for

• Miniature painting and figure detailing
• Scale model painting (plastic, resin, metal)
• Touch-ups and fine brushwork in hobby projects

How to use

Apply VALLEJO 72.042 Brown onto a previously primed surface using suitable brushes for fine detail. Shake the bottle before use to ensure pigment uniformity.

For larger areas or thinner coverage, dilute slightly with water or an appropriate acrylic thinner, testing on a scrap surface first. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For best results on miniatures and models, prime the surface prior to painting and work in thin coats to maintain detail. Store the bottle capped and away from extreme temperatures. Consult certified safety information when considering use in confined spaces or for prolonged handling.
