Acrylic paint VALLEJO 73.826 Brown 40 ml

VALLEJO 73.826 Brown 40 ml is a water-based acrylic paint formulated for hobbyists, scale modelers and fine-detail painters. Supplied in a single 40 ml bottle, this brown acrylic provides consistent pigment suitable for brush and airbrush application. The paint belongs to Vallejo's Weathering FX/Environment Effects family, designed to reproduce natural effects such as mud, crushed vegetation and grime on vehicles and dioramas. The formula uses permanent pigments and acrylic resins, dries rapidly in most cases and allows further manipulation for realistic weathering and scenic finishes.

Advantages

This acrylic paint offers good pigment consistency and versatility for layering, washes and highlights without the use of solvents. Being water-based, it cleans up with water and soap and is non-flammable. The Weathering FX formulation includes textural components for reproducing mud and grass effects, enabling realistic surface textures on tracks, wheels and terrain elements. The 40 ml pot size is convenient for small projects, touch-ups and controlled application during diorama and model weathering work.

Suitable for

• Scale model weathering on military vehicles, tanks and armored vehicles
• Diorama ground textures, mud splashes and compacted vegetation
• Touch-ups and fine-detail painting where brown tones and textured effects are needed

Key specifications

How to use

Apply the paint directly from the pot with a brush for textural mud and grass effects or thin appropriately for washes and layered highlights. For airbrush use, strain and thin following Vallejo thinning recommendations for acrylics to avoid clogging. Allow the paint to dry before applying further manipulation; most Weathering FX references dry quickly, but thicker textured applications may need extended drying time. Clean tools and brushes with water and soap after use.

Usage recommendations

Use on sealed or primed surfaces for best adhesion. Test compatibility with previous coatings by applying a small test area. When creating compacted mud or crushed vegetation effects, build the texture in thin layers and allow adequate drying between applications to achieve realistic results. Refer to certified safety information for handling and storage.
