Paint set VALLEJO Model Color - Figure - American Revolution, 16 x 18 ml bottles

VALLEJO Model Color - Figure - American Revolution is a curated set of water-based acrylic paints supplied in 16 individual 18 ml bottles. Developed for figure painting and historical miniatures, this selection covers key uniform, skin, leather and metal tones typically found in American Revolution-era schemes. The paints feature a consistent, opaque finish and are compatible with standard acrylic thinning and blending techniques used by scale modelers and miniature hobbyists.

Advantages

The set provides a ready-made palette that simplifies color selection for period-accurate figures while maintaining the fine pigmentation and flow control expected from Vallejo Model Color. Its water-based formulation allows for straightforward thinning with water or acrylic mediums, easy cleanup, and reduced odor compared with solvent-based paints. Bottles are sized for detail work and reuse, supporting both single-figure projects and small armies.

How to use

Shake each bottle well before use to ensure uniform pigment suspension. For brush application use straight from the bottle for opaque coverage or thin with water or an acrylic thinner to achieve washes and glazes. When airbrushing, strain and thin the paint to the manufacturer-recommended viscosity and use appropriate filters to avoid clogging. Allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent layers or varnish. Store bottles upright and keep caps tightened after use.

Usage recommendations

Test colors on a spare surface before applying to final models to verify opacity and shade. For historical accuracy, consult reference images or manuals to combine uniform, leather and metal tones from the set. Use a dedicated acrylic primer suited to the model material for best adhesion and longevity.
