Acrylic Paint VALLEJO Xpress Color Desert Ochre 18 ml (72.454)

VALLEJO Xpress Color Desert Ochre 18 ml is a water-based acrylic paint formulated for model makers and hobbyists who need a reliable desert ochre tone for basecoating, detailing and touch-ups. The ready-to-use fluid consistency is designed to provide smooth, even coverage on typical modelling surfaces such as plastic, resin, metal and wood, with fast drying that helps speed up multi-layer workflows.

Advantages

This acrylic paint offers quick-drying performance and a uniform, matte finish that reduces the need for extensive thinning or multiple primer layers. Its formulation ensures good adhesion to common model materials and consistent pigmentation for accurate colour reproduction. The compact 18 ml bottle is convenient for targeted applications and storage, and the fast film formation simplifies subsequent weathering or varnishing steps.

Suitable for

• Basecoating scale models, miniatures and figures
• Detail painting and touch-ups on plastic, resin and metal parts
• Scenery and diorama elements made of wood or composite materials
• Layering and weathering workflows that require a reliable ochre base

Key specifications

• Volume: 18 ml
• Type: water-based acrylic
• Finish: matte
• Colour family: desert ochre
• Compatibility: plastic, resin, metal, wood
• Consistency: ready-to-use, fluid for brush or airbrush (may require slight thinning for airbrush)

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Apply with a clean brush or airbrush; for airbrushing, thin slightly with appropriate acrylic thinner or distilled water according to your equipment and desired atomization. Apply in thin, even coats to avoid pooling; allow sufficient drying time between layers. For best adhesion on smooth or glossy surfaces, lightly scuff or prime the area before painting. After use, seal the cap tightly to prevent premature drying.

Usage recommendations

Use this paint as a basecoat for desert- or sand-toned schemes and as a mid-tone for layering. For airbrush application, test thinning ratios on a scrap piece and work in multiple thin passes. Protect finished work with a compatible varnish once the paint is fully dry.
