Paint set VALLEJO Model Color - Figure: German Camouflage Uniforms WWII (16 x 18 ml)

VALLEJO Model Color - Figure: German Camouflage Uniforms WWII (16 x 18 ml) is a curated set of water-based acrylic paints formulated for painting scale figures and military miniatures. The set contains sixteen 18 ml bottles with colors selected to match historic German camouflage patterns and field clothing from the World War II period. These paints are designed to deliver consistent coverage, fine detail control and easy mixing for layering and shading on plastic, resin and metal figures.

Advantages

The Model Color acrylic formulation provides good pigmentation and uniform consistency in each 18 ml bottle, allowing precise brushwork and control for small-scale detail. Water-based and low-odour, the paints are suitable for indoor use and clean up easily with water before drying. Colors are intended to be historically appropriate for tunics, trousers, helmets and field equipment and can be thinned for glazes, mixed for intermediate tones or applied directly for opaque coverage.

Suitable for

• Painting 1/35, 1/32 and similar scale military figures and busts
• Adding historically accurate camouflage and uniform details on miniatures
• Layering, shading and fine detail work with brush techniques
• Use on plastic, resin and metal miniature surfaces

How to use

Shake each bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Apply with fine synthetic or sable brushes appropriate for miniature painting. For base coats, use slightly thinned paint to avoid obscuring fine detail; for shading and highlights, apply successive thinner layers or glazing. Allow each layer to dry before applying the next. Clean brushes with water immediately after use. For best adhesion on resin or metal, prime the miniature with a suitable primer before applying Model Color paints.

Usage recommendations

Store paints upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a dedicated palette for mixing and avoid contamination of bottles to preserve color integrity. When recreating historical camouflage schemes, test mixes on a spare surface to match desired tones before applying to the model.
