Acrylic Model Paint VALLEJO 70.768 Model Color – Dark Brown, 18 ml

VALLEJO Model Color 70.768 – Dark Brown is an 18 ml acrylic paint formulated for use on scale models, miniatures and hobby projects. The water-based formula delivers opaque coverage and a brushable consistency that supports precise detailing, layering and corrections. Compatible with standard hobby varnishes and thinners, this paint is suitable for hand painting on plastic, resin and metal model surfaces used in figures, vehicles and diorama work.

Advantages

This Dark Brown acrylic offers uniform opacity and smooth flow for controlled brushwork and surface coverage. Its water-based composition allows easy thinning and cleanup with water while remaining compatible with common hobby solvents and varnishes for finishing. The paint dries to a stable, non-tacky film resistant to light handling after curing and supports multiple thin layers for glazing and shading without excessive buildup.

• Detailing bases, accessories and small props
• Layering, shading and glazing techniques on miniatures

How to use

Shake or stir the bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment suspension. Apply with a clean brush in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next to achieve even coverage and control opacity. Thin with water or a hobby-appropriate thinner for glazing and fine details; avoid over-thinning to maintain hiding power. For best adhesion, paint over a suitable primer designed for plastic, resin or metal surfaces. After painting, protect the finished surface with a compatible varnish.

Usage recommendations

Store the paint upright in a cool, dry place and close the cap tightly after use to prevent drying. Test compatibility with primers, varnishes and other paints on a sample before applying to a finished model. For fine details, use high-quality synthetic brushes and work in thin successive layers to avoid obscuring sculpted detail.
