Acrylic paint VALLEJO 70.206, 17 ml bottle, assorted colours

VALLEJO 70.206 acrylic paint comes in 17 ml bottles and is offered in assorted colours tailored for miniature painting and scale model finishing. This water-based formula provides consistent pigmentation and a smooth flow suitable for layering, washes and fine-detail work. The set described here contains six 17 ml Model Color paints commonly used for German infantry uniform schemes when combined with the Utility Paint Set.

Advantages

The water-based acrylic formulation dries to a matte finish and allows easy thinning with water or acrylic thinner for controlled opacity. Bottles feature a compact shape that fits hobby benches and storage, while the paint maintains stable pigmentation for repeatable colour matching. The range supports both brush and airbrush application when appropriately thinned, enabling smooth coverage and fine highlights.

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to homogenize pigments. Apply directly with a fine brush for detail work or dilute with water or an acrylic thinner for washes and airbrushing. For layering, apply thin coats and allow sufficient drying time between layers to avoid lifting. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use. Test colour on a spare surface or primer to confirm shade and opacity before working on the final model.

Usage recommendations

For realistic uniform tones, start with a mid-tone base, apply selective washes to deepen recesses, and finish with light dry-brushing or thin highlights. When airbrushing, strain and progressively thin paint to achieve a smooth flow and avoid nozzle clogging.
