Paint, VALLEJO Xpress Color Military Yellow 18 ml bottle

VALLEJO Xpress Color Military Yellow 18 ml bottle is a ready-to-use acrylic paint formulated for model making and hobby painting. The product is part of the Xpress Color line and is supplied in a compact 18 ml bottle that is convenient for small projects and touch-ups. The formulation is designed to be airbrush-friendly while remaining suitable for brush application, providing consistent coverage on plastic, resin and metal surfaces commonly used in scale models and miniatures.

Advantages

This Military Yellow acrylic paint offers a stable, water-based formulation that requires no thinning for standard airbrush use and can be applied directly from the bottle for quick base coats and detail work. The paint dries to a uniform finish, allowing for layering, shading and basic weathering techniques. Its compact bottle design and screw cap reduce evaporation and make storage and transport simple for hobbyists.

Suitable for

• Base coats on plastic model kits

• Detail painting and panel lining on resin and metal parts
• Quick weathering and highlight layers in scale modelling

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure pigment and binder are well mixed. For airbrushing, the paint is ready to use in most cases; test spray and adjust pressure as needed. For brush application, apply thin, even coats and allow each layer to dry before adding additional coats or details. Clean tools with water while the paint is wet. Use a primer when working on bare plastic or metal to improve adhesion and durability.

Usage recommendations

Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When aiming for precise shading or weathering effects, build up color through multiple thin layers rather than a single thick coat; this improves control and reduces drying time. Follow standard safety precautions: avoid ingestion and prolonged skin contact, and use adequate ventilation when airbrushing.
