Acrylic paint VALLEJO 72.111 Red 18 ml (single bottle)

VALLEJO 72.111 Red is a liquid, water-based acrylic paint supplied in an 18 ml bottle designed for scale models, miniatures and hobby crafts. The formulation offers a vibrant red tone with good coverage and flow, allowing controlled layering and fine-detail work. This paint is compatible with other acrylics from the same family and can be thinned with water or acrylic-specific thinners for brush or airbrush application.

Advantages

The water-based formula provides easy thinning and fast cleanup with minimal odor. The liquid consistency ensures smooth application and uniform covering on plastic, resin, metal and primed surfaces. The paint's pigment concentration and flow characteristics make it suitable for both basecoats and detailed highlights, while compatibility with acrylic mediums allows mixing and glazing without compromising adhesion.

Suitable for

• Scale model painting (vehicles, aircraft, figures)
• Miniature and tabletop gaming figures
• Hobby and craft projects requiring precise detailing
• Airbrush and brush applications after thinning

Key specifications

• Color family: Red
• Formulation: Water-based acrylic
• Volume: 18 ml
• Finish: Semi-matte to satin depending on dilution and varnish
• Substrate compatibility: Plastic, resin, metal, primed wood and paper
• Solvent for thinning and cleanup: Water or acrylic thinners

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to homogenize pigments. For brush application use the paint undiluted or thin slightly with water for smoother brushstrokes. For airbrushing dilute the paint with water or an acrylic airbrush thinner to reach the recommended viscosity for your equipment; typically a 1:1 to 1:2 ratio (paint:thinner) is a starting point, adjusted as needed. Apply in thin, even layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding further coats or details. Clean tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Test adhesion and color on a spare surface before working on the final model. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and avoid freezing temperatures to preserve paint consistency. For long-term protection and altered finish, apply a compatible acrylic varnish after the paint has fully cured.
