Paint VALLEJO Xpress Color Armor Green 18 ml — model 72.466

VALLEJO Xpress Color Armor Green 18 ml (model 72.466) is a ready-to-use water-based acrylic paint formulated for hobbyists and scale modelers. Supplied in an 18 ml dropper bottle, this paint provides a consistent green shade tailored for military vehicles, armored models and dioramas. The formulation is suitable for both brushwork and airbrushing when thinned appropriately, and it is compatible with other acrylics from the same family for layered painting and weathering techniques.

Advantages

This acrylic paint is premixed to a brushable and airbrush-friendly consistency, reducing preparation time. Water-based composition allows easy thinning and cleanup with water, and offers good adhesion to commonly used modeling surfaces such as plastic, resin and metal when primed correctly. The 18 ml transparent dropper bottle provides controlled dispensing to minimize waste and support precise application.

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. For brush application, dispense a small amount onto a palette and apply thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding more to avoid pooling. For airbrushing, thin the paint gradually with water or an appropriate acrylic thinner until the desired viscosity is reached, then strain if necessary to prevent clogging. Always test on a scrap surface or spare part to confirm color and flow. Allow adequate drying time between coats and apply a suitable primer on bare surfaces for best adhesion.

Usage recommendations

Store in a cool, dry place and keep the cap tightly closed to prevent drying. Use with proper ventilation when airbrushing and follow standard safety practices for paints and solvents. When mixing with other acrylics, test small samples first to verify color and consistency. Clean tools with water immediately after use.
