Acrylic paint VALLEJO 70.203, 17 ml bottle, assorted colours

VALLEJO 70.203 is a 17 ml water-based acrylic paint supplied in assorted colours designed for hobbyists, model-makers and fine detail painters. The formulation offers fast drying, good coverage and simple thinning with water, making it suitable for brush work, airbrushing when thinned and small touch-up tasks on miniatures, scale models and craft projects. Each bottle contains a single 17 ml quantity of paint in a color selected to complement model finishing and weathering workflows.

Advantages

These acrylic paints deliver consistent pigmentation and smooth application across various substrates commonly used in modelling, such as plastic, resin and metal primed surfaces. The fast-drying, water-based formula reduces waiting time between coats and makes cleanup straightforward. Their viscosity allows precise brush control for fine detail, while still being thinned for airbrush use to achieve even coats and subtle shading effects.

Suitable for

• Painting miniatures and figure detailing
• Scale model kits (vehicles, aircraft, ships)
• Touch-up and weathering on painted models
• Craft projects requiring fine control and quick drying

Key specifications

• Volume: 17 ml per bottle
• Type: Water-based acrylic
• Finish: Matte to satin depending on pigment and dilution
• Application methods: Brush and airbrush (when thinned)
• Substrate compatibility: Primed plastic, resin, metal and wood
• Drying: Fast-drying at room temperature

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure even pigment distribution. For brush application, apply thin coats and allow each layer to dry before adding another to build coverage gradually. For airbrushing, thin the paint with water or a compatible acrylic thinner to the desired consistency, strain if necessary, and spray at low to medium pressure. Test spray on scrap material or an inconspicuous area first. Use an appropriate primer on bare substrates for best adhesion and longevity.

Usage recommendations

Store bottles upright in a cool, dry place and tightly close caps after use to prevent skinning. Clean brushes and airbrush components with water immediately after use. When mixing colours, do so in small quantities to maintain consistent hue and avoid drying in the container.
