Acrylic Model Paint VALLEJO 70.747 Model Color Faded Red 18 ml

VALLEJO Model Color 70.747 Faded Red is an 18 ml bottle of water‑based acrylic paint developed for scale models, miniatures and hobby projects. Formulated for brush application, this paint provides steady pigmentation and consistent flow for fine detail work, layering and light weathering. It adheres well to common modeling surfaces such as plastic, resin and metal when appropriate surface preparation and standard thinning or sealing techniques are used.

Advantages

This acrylic paint offers uniform coverage and predictable opacity for controlled layering and highlights. Its water‑based formulation allows easy thinning and cleanup with water, while maintaining color stability and good pigment density in small‑format bottles. The consistency is suitable for both fine detail and broader strokes, making it practical for painting miniature figures, vehicle details and diorama elements.

Suitable for

• Scale model kits (plastic and resin)
• Miniature figures and tabletop gaming models
• Detailing and panel work on model vehicles
• Small diorama elements and scenic accessories

Key specifications

• Volume: 18 ml
• Type: Water‑based acrylic
• Finish: Matte to satin depending on thinning and sealing
• Application: Brush‑on; compatible with common model thinning mediums
• Suitable substrates: Plastic, resin, metal (with primer)
• Behavior: Good pigmentation for layering, suitable for weathering techniques

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Apply on a primed and clean surface with a fine brush for detail or a larger brush for broader areas. Thin with water or a compatible acrylic thinner to adjust flow and opacity; apply in thin coats to build color gradually and avoid obscuring fine details. Allow adequate drying time between coats and seal finished work with an appropriate varnish or matte/satin sealer to protect the paint film.

Usage recommendations

For best results on plastic and resin, use a suitable primer before applying the paint. When painting small details, use multiple thin layers rather than a single thick coat; thin the paint slightly to improve flow and reduce brush marks. Clean brushes with water immediately after use and store the bottle tightly closed to preserve consistency.
