Acrylic paint VALLEJO 72.045 Brown 17 ml — artist/model paint, solvent-free

VALLEJO 72.045 Brown is a water-based, solvent-free acrylic paint supplied in a 17 ml bottle for artists and modelers. Formulated for brush and airbrush use, this matt, opaque brown delivers even coverage while preserving fine details on miniatures, model kits and diorama elements. The paint dries rapidly to a homogenous, self-leveling film and offers strong adhesion on primed surfaces including resin, plastic, metal and painted grounds. Cleaning of brushes and tools is done with water, and the solvent-free formula reduces strong odors during application.

Advantages

This acrylic paint provides opaque matt coverage with rapid drying and good flow, allowing layered techniques and fine detail work. The formulation includes a durable resin designed to resist wear from frequent handling of game figures and models. The water-based, solvent-free composition makes it easy to thin for airbrushing or to use straight from the bottle for brush work, while maintenance requires only water for cleaning.

Suitable for

• Miniature painting for tabletop games and collectors
• Model kits and scale models (plastic, resin, metal)
• Dioramas and scenic elements
• Craft projects and hobby detailing

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment. Apply on a previously primed surface for best adhesion and color fidelity. For brush application, use the paint directly or thin with a little water to achieve the desired consistency for layering or glazing. For airbrush use, thin gradually with water until you reach a fine, even sprayable consistency. Allow sufficient drying time between layers to preserve details and avoid lifting. Clean brushes and airbrush components with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Use on primed surfaces for optimal adhesion and durability. Test thinning ratios on a spare piece before airbrushing, and allow complete drying between successive layers. Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refer to the manufacturer’s safety data for handling information; the solvent-free formula reduces flammability and strong odors but standard ventilation is recommended during extended painting sessions.
