Paint VALLEJO Model Color 70.764 Military Yellow 18 ml - acrylic model paint

VALLEJO Model Color 70.764 Military Yellow is an 18 ml acrylic paint designed for scale models, miniatures and hobby projects. This water-based paint delivers an opaque, satin finish that adheres to common modelling surfaces such as plastic, resin and metal when prepared correctly. It is formulated for brush application and can be thinned with water or an acrylic thinner to adjust flow and coverage for fine detail work or larger surfaces.

Advantages

This acrylic colour offers good pigment load and coverage in a compact 18 ml bottle, enabling precise brush control for small parts and figures. The water-based formula dries relatively quickly and is compatible with other acrylics of the same family, allowing layered painting and washes after proper drying. The paint is suitable for detail work due to its controlled viscosity and moderate opacity, reducing the need for multiple heavy coats on most modelling surfaces.

Suitable for

• Painting military vehicles and armour models that require a specific yellow tone
• Figure painting and detailing of uniforms, equipment and faces
• Dioramas and scenery elements needing consistent base or highlight colour
• Touch-ups and small repairs on model kits and hobby projects

Key specifications

• Type: acrylic, water-based

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Apply directly with a clean brush for fine detail or thin the paint with a small amount of water or acrylic thinner to improve flow for larger areas or smoother coats. Allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent layers or washes. For best adhesion on glossy or non-porous surfaces, lightly sand and clean the surface first, and consider using a suitable primer formulated for scale modelling.

Usage recommendations

Store the paint upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Close the cap tightly after use to prevent skinning. Test compatibility before applying over other finishes and wait for full drying between layers to avoid lifting or mixing. Use adequate ventilation when working with acrylic thinners.
