Acrylic Paint Set VALLEJO Model Color 70.114 German Camouflage WWII — 16 x 18 ml

VALLEJO Model Color 70.114 German Camouflage WWII is a set of 16 water-based acrylic paints supplied in 18 ml bottles, formulated for scale models, figures and dioramas. The selection assembles historically inspired German WWII camouflage tones and related shades for basecoating, layering and weathering. Paints are compatible with brush and airbrush application and designed to provide consistent flow, fine pigmentation and predictable drying behavior for hobbyists and model builders.

Advantages

The set combines a curated palette of neutral and muted tones used in WWII German camouflage, enabling coherent color matching across vehicles, equipment and figures. Water-based acrylic formulation allows easy thinning with water or Vallejo-compatible thinners, fast cleaning of brushes, and reduced odor compared with solvent-based paints. Bottles include an eyedropper-style cap for controlled dispensing and the set includes a color chart to help select and mix shades.

Suitable for

• Painting scale military models and armored vehicles
• Detailing and basecoating figures and miniatures with period-accurate tones
• Creating camouflage patterns, chipping and weathering effects
• Airbrush and brush techniques in hobby and diorama projects

When it may not be suitable

This set is focused on historically inspired German WWII colors and may not cover contemporary or non-German palettes needed for other subjects. For large-area coverage or commercial production where faster application or different finish types are required, other product ranges such as spray cans or high-build enamels might be more efficient. Users who require glossy or industrial finishes should plan to use appropriate primers and varnishes in addition to these acrylics.

Key specifications

• Number of colors: 16
• Volume per bottle: approximately 18 ml
• Paint type: water-based acrylic
• Application methods: brush and airbrush compatible
• Includes: eyedropper-style bottles and a color chart

How to use

Shake each bottle well before use to ensure pigment dispersion. For brush application use straight from the bottle or thin with a small amount of water or a compatible acrylic thinner to achieve the desired consistency. For airbrushing, thin gradually until the paint flows smoothly through the nozzle; test on scrap material before applying to the model. Apply thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between layers. Use a primer suited to the model material for improved adhesion and finish. Finish with suitable varnish or weathering products as required.

What to consider before purchase

• Set focuses on German WWII camouflage tones; verify that the palette matches your project needs
• Volume per bottle is suitable for model-scale work but limited for large surface coverage
• Water-based formulation requires appropriate primers and varnishes for long-term protection

Usage recommendations

For historically consistent results, consult reference photos or the included color chart before mixing. Use thin, layered coats to build depth and combine with washes, drybrushing and weathering pigments for realistic finishes. Clean brushes and airbrush components with water or recommended cleaner immediately after use.
