Acrylic paint VALLEJO 72.148 Brown 17 ml bottle (Heavy Warm Grey)

VALLEJO 72.148 Brown (Heavy Warm Grey) is a water-based acrylic model paint supplied in a 17 ml plastic bottle with a dispenser designed for brush-on application. Formulated for scale models, miniatures and dioramas, this matte, opaque colour provides rapid drying, strong adhesion and a self-leveling finish that preserves fine details. The paint is compatible with other acrylics and is suitable for layering, blending and detailed work on primed surfaces made of resin, plastic, metal and similar modelling materials.

Advantages

This acrylic paint offers a matt, opaque finish with good pigment concentration for uniform coverage. The formulation includes a resilient resin designed to resist wear from frequent handling, making it appropriate for tabletop gaming miniatures. It dries quickly to a homogeneous film, preserves the smallest sculpted details and cleans up easily with water. The dispenser bottle allows controlled application and reduced waste during painting sessions.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models and plastic kits

How to use

For best results, apply VALLEJO 72.148 to a previously primed surface. Shake the bottle before use to ensure pigment dispersion. Dispense a small amount onto a palette or directly onto the model and apply with a suitable brush. Thin with water or acrylic medium if finer glazing, blending or smoother flow is required. Allow successive thin layers to dry between applications to build opacity without obscuring detail. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Test on a small area or spare part before large-scale application. Use undercoat primers compatible with acrylics to improve adhesion and colour fidelity. Store the bottle capped in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve pigment and binder properties.
