Vallejo 72.112 Acrylic paint 18 ml 1 pc(s)

Vallejo 72.112 Acrylic paint 18 ml is a liquid acrylic color from the Game Color range, presented in a convenient 18 ml bottle. The shade is a vivid Evil Red designed for model makers, miniature painters and hobbyists seeking a reliable, opaque red with good flow and coverage. The formula is water-based, allowing easy thinning, blending and cleanup, and it is compatible with common modelling surfaces and primers.

Advantages

This acrylic paint offers consistent pigmentation and smooth application suitable for both basecoating and layering. Its liquid consistency provides good flow from the brush, reducing brush strokes while enabling fine detail work when diluted. The water-based composition dries to a durable film and is readily compatible with other acrylics in the same range, enabling predictable mixing and color matching.

Suitable for

• Basecoating and layering on plastic, resin, metal and primed surfaces
• Painting miniatures, wargaming figures and scale models
• Detail work when thinned for glazing or washes

When it may not be suitable

This paint may not be ideal for use on unprimed, highly porous or very smooth non-porous surfaces without appropriate surface preparation; adhesion is best on primed or pre-treated models. It is not formulated for direct use as an industrial coating or where specific solvent- or heat-resistance ratings are required.

Key specifications

• Type: Water-based acrylic paint
• Color: Red (Evil Red shade)
• Volume: 18 ml per bottle
• Consistency: Liquid, suitable for brushing or airbrushing when thinned
• Finish: Opaque coverage, dries to a matte/semi-matte surface depending on layer thickness

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure uniform pigment suspension. Apply directly with a brush for basecoats and detail work; thin with water or an acrylic thinner for glazing, washes or airbrushing. Allow adequate drying time between layers. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use. For best adhesion and color fidelity, apply over a compatible primer and test mixes on a spare surface before committing to the model.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your existing primers and varnishes
• Plan for color mixing if you need shades lighter or darker than the supplied tone
• Consider additional thinners or mediums if airbrushing or special effects are required

Usage recommendations

Store upright in a cool, frost-free environment and shake well before each use. For consistent results on miniatures, apply thin multiple coats rather than one thick coat. When mixing with other acrylics, perform small tests to ensure desired hue and opacity.
