Acrylic paint VALLEJO 73.821 Brown 40 ml

VALLEJO 73.821 Brown 40 ml is a water-based acrylic paint formulated for model making, miniatures, hobby painting and craft projects. Supplied in a 40 ml bottle, this brown tone offers good coverage and reliable adhesion on plastic, resin, metal and previously primed surfaces. The formulation is consistent with Weathering FX characteristics: water-based, quick-drying and suited for creating realistic weathering effects, touch-ups, layering and fine detail work.

Advantages

This acrylic paint provides strong pigment concentration for consistent color and opacity in small-scale applications. Its water-based resin system ensures easy thinning with water for washes and glazes while maintaining adhesion on common modelling substrates. The product cleans up with water and soap, is non-flammable and formulated without solvents, making it practical for studio use. The 40 ml format balances working quantity and shelf life for hobbyists and modellers.

Suitable for

• Painting plastic and resin model kits
• Detail work on miniatures and figures
• Weathering effects and touch-ups in dioramas
• Layering, washes and glazing techniques

Key specifications

• Volume: 40 ml
• Type: Water-based acrylic paint

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to homogenize the pigment. Apply with a fine brush for detail work, or thin with water for washes and glazing. For airbrushing, thin appropriately and test spray pressure and nozzle size on scrap material. When using for weathering, apply in thin layers and allow each layer to dry; certain textured effects may be manipulated while drying to achieve desired appearance. Clean brushes and tools with water and soap immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For weathering and realistic effects, apply the brown in graduated layers and combine with lighter and darker tones for depth. When using on bare plastic or metal, apply over a suitable primer to ensure optimal adhesion and durability. Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
