Acrylic paint VALLEJO 72.117 Blue 18 ml liquid bottle

VALLEJO 72.117 Blue is a liquid acrylic paint supplied in an 18 ml bottle, formulated for model making, miniatures, crafts and general hobby painting. This water-based acrylic offers a fluid consistency suitable for fine detail work and layering. The product is compatible with standard brushes and airbrushes when appropriately thinned and is intended for use on common modelling surfaces such as plastic, resin and primed metal.

Advantages

The paint delivers a smooth, even coverage with good pigment concentration for small-scale applications. Its water-based formula allows easy thinning and cleanup with water, while maintaining strong adhesion to properly prepared surfaces. The liquid consistency reduces brush marks on fine details and facilitates controlled application when using an airbrush at recommended dilutions.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models and miniatures
• Detailing resin and plastic parts
• Airbrushing small areas after thinning
• Craft and hobby projects requiring precise color application

Key specifications

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to homogenize pigments. For brush application apply thin successive layers, allowing drying between coats to build color and avoid obscuring fine details. For airbrushing, dilute the paint with a suitable acrylic thinner or water to achieve the manufacturer-recommended viscosity and strain through a fine mesh if necessary. Ensure surfaces are clean and primed for optimal adhesion and durability.

Usage recommendations

Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and keep cap tightly closed to prevent drying. Test thinning ratios and spray settings on a scrap piece before working on the final model. Allow adequate drying time between layers and use appropriate primers and varnishes to protect finished work.
