Acrylic paint VALLEJO 72.107 Red 18 ml – liquid model paint

VALLEJO 72.107 Red is a liquid acrylic model paint supplied in an 18 ml bottle, formulated for hobby and scale model applications. The paint delivers a consistent red tone with a fluid viscosity that facilitates precise brushwork, layering and fine detail on common modelling substrates such as plastic, metal and resin. Its water-based formulation allows easy thinning and cleanup while maintaining good adhesion and color stability for miniature painting and touch-up work.

Advantages

This acrylic paint offers a smooth, even flow suitable for fine detail and small-area coverage without excessive brush marks. The liquid consistency reduces the need for aggressive thinning, improving control for glazing and layering techniques. It adheres well to primed surfaces and dries to a durable finish that accepts subsequent coats and washes. The water-based formula enables simple dilution with water or acrylic thinner and easy brush cleaning.

Suitable for

• Painting miniatures and figures
• Detailing and touch-ups on plastic and resin model kits
• Layering, glazing and small-area coverage
• Hobby dioramas and scale modelling accents

Key specifications

• Volume: 18 ml liquid acrylic paint
• Color family: red
• Finish: satin to matte depending on layer thickness and drying
• Base: water-based acrylic

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Apply to a primed surface using a fine brush for details or a larger brush for broader coverage. For thinner coats or glazing effects, dilute with a few drops of water or an acrylic thinner until the desired flow is reached. Allow each coat to dry fully before applying subsequent layers to avoid lifting. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For best results on plastic or resin models, use a compatible primer before applying VALLEJO 72.107 Red. Test thinning ratios on a palette to achieve the preferred opacity and flow. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and cap tightly after use to preserve consistency.
