Acrylic Paint VALLEJO Model Color 70.746 Chestnut Brown 18 ml

VALLEJO Model Color 70.746 Chestnut Brown 18 ml is an acrylic hobby paint formulated for scale models, miniatures and diorama work. The formulation delivers an opaque chestnut brown tone with fine pigment dispersion for controlled brush application. Packaged in an 18 ml dropper bottle, the paint is designed for layering, detail work and touch-ups on plastic, resin and metal model surfaces once they are properly primed.

Advantages

The paint offers smooth consistency and good coverage, enabling precise strokes and even coats without visible brush marks when applied correctly. Its acrylic base ensures quick drying and compatibility with other water-based products, thinning with water or acrylic thinner as needed. The dropper-style bottle allows accurate dispensing, reducing waste and making it easy to mix small custom shades.

Suitable for

• Painting figures, infantry and character miniatures
• Detailing scale vehicles, tanks and aircraft
• Applying base coats and mid-tones on dioramas
• Weathering foundations and wooden surfaces on models

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure even pigment distribution. For brush application use straight from the bottle or thin slightly with water or a dedicated acrylic thinner to improve flow and avoid visible brush strokes. For airbrush use thin the paint to the manufacturer’s recommended viscosity for your equipment. Apply thin multiple coats rather than a single heavy coat, allowing sufficient drying time between layers. Always test compatibility with primers and previously applied finishes on a scrap piece before working on the model.

Usage recommendations

Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and reseal after each use to maintain consistency. For long-lasting results, protect finished work with an appropriate varnish—matte, satin or gloss—depending on the desired appearance. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use to prevent paint drying in bristles or equipment.
