Acrylic paint VALLEJO 72.156 Orange 18 ml, liquid model paint

VALLEJO 72.156 Orange is an 18 ml liquid acrylic model paint formulated for scale models, miniatures and hobby projects. This water-based acrylic offers predictable flow and pigmentation for brush and airbrush work, enabling fine detail, layering and color mixing. The compact bottle and dropper-style cap provide controlled dispensing and convenient storage for workshop use.

Advantages

This orange acrylic paint provides consistent coverage and good tinting strength while remaining water-reducible for easy thinning and cleanup. It dries to a stable finish that accepts washes and varnishes, and its formulation is compatible with other water-based acrylics for blending or custom shades. The small 18 ml volume is suitable for targeted applications and minimizes waste when working on small projects or single-model jobs.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models (aircraft, vehicles, figures)
• Miniature painting and tabletop gaming figures
• Detail work, highlights and color accents
• Layering, glazing and mixing to achieve custom tones

Key specifications

• Type: water-based acrylic model paint
• Color family: orange
• Volume: 18 ml
• Application: brush and airbrush compatible
• Finish: satin to matte when dry, suitable for varnishing

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use to ensure pigment dispersion. For brush application use directly or thin with a few drops of water or a dedicated acrylic thinner to improve flow and reduce brush marks. For airbrushing thin progressively to the desired viscosity and strain the paint through a fine filter to remove impurities. Allow adequate drying time between layers and use fine brushes for detailed areas. Clean tools with water while paint is wet; cured paint requires mechanical or chemical removal.

Usage recommendations

Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and tightly close the cap after each use to preserve paint quality. Test color and compatibility on a spare surface before applying to finished models. When mixing colors, add small amounts incrementally to reach the desired hue and record ratios for reproducibility.
