Acrylic Paint VALLEJO Xpress Color Battledress Brown 18 ml

VALLEJO Xpress Color Battledress Brown 18 ml is a ready-to-use, water-based acrylic paint formulated for model-making and miniature painting. This opaque brown tone is suitable for painting uniforms, vehicle details and diorama elements without the need for prior mixing. The compact 18 ml bottle is designed for hobby use, offering convenient storage and a controlled dropper for accurate application.

Advantages

The paint provides good coverage and opacity out of the bottle, allowing fast application of base coats. Its water-based formula makes thinning and cleanup simple using water, and the fast-drying characteristics reduce handling time between layers. The dropper-style bottle enables precise dispensing and minimizes waste, while the consistency is balanced for brush application on plastic, resin and metal miniatures.

• Base coating uniforms and clothing on miniatures

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use to ensure uniform pigment suspension. Apply directly from the bottle for good coverage or thin with a small amount of water to achieve smoother brush strokes and finer layering. Allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent coats; drying time varies with layer thickness and ambient conditions. Use a suitable primer on unpainted plastic or metal models to improve adhesion and durability of the finish.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test the paint on a spare piece or an inconspicuous area to determine the preferred dilution and drying time. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and avoid freezing temperatures. Combine with other VALLEJO acrylics for consistent color matching and compatibility.
