Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 70.888 Grey (Olive Grey), 17 ml bottle

VALLEJO 70.888 Grey (Olive Grey) is a 17 ml bottle of water-based acrylic model paint formulated for scale models, miniatures and hobby projects. The paint is matt and opaque with a high pigment concentration, designed primarily for brush-on application but also compatible with airbrush use after appropriate thinning. It delivers fast drying and a self-leveling, homogeneous paint film that adheres well to plastics, resin, metal and other common modelling surfaces. Bottled in a squeezable dispenser with an eyedropper-style tip, the product allows controlled dispensing and long-term preservation.

Advantages

The formula provides high pigment density for good coverage and true-to-tone results on small details and larger surfaces alike. Being water-based and non-flammable, the paint cleans easily from brushes and tools with water and offers compatibility with other acrylics for mixing and shading. The fast-drying, self-leveling properties reduce visible brush marks while ensuring even layers and reliable adhesion to commonly used modelling materials.

Suitable for

• Painting scale model vehicles, aircraft and military models
• Colouring miniatures and historical figures
• Detailing dioramas and terrain pieces
• Brush-on base coats and touch-up work

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use. Apply directly from the squeezable dispenser for brush work or thin the paint with water or a recommended acrylic thinner for airbrush application. Prime the surface prior to painting to improve adhesion and true colour reproduction. Apply thin, even layers allowing each coat to dry before adding the next; the fast-drying nature helps to build colour in multiple thin passes rather than one heavy coat. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, prime models with a compatible primer, thin the paint progressively when airbrushing, and test colour and flow on a scrap surface. Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain paint quality.
