Acrylic paint VALLEJO 70.816 17 ml — Blue (Luftwaffe Uniform WWII) in bottle dispenser

VALLEJO 70.816 is a 17 ml water-based acrylic paint in a bottle dispenser, colour Blue labelled "Luftwaffe Uniform WWII". Part of the Model Color range, this matt, opaque acrylic is formulated for brush-on application and detailed work on scale models and miniatures. The small bottle with a precise dispenser enables controlled dosing for accurate layering and fine detail, and the paint is suitable for use after priming on a variety of materials including plastics, resin, metal and steel.

Advantages

This acrylic paint offers a high pigment concentration and matt finish that produces uniform, self-leveling films. It dries rapidly to a homogenous coat that is effective both on broad surfaces and on the smallest details. Model Color paints show excellent adherence to common modelling substrates and clean up easily with water. The dispenser bottle provides precise control of the quantity applied, reducing waste and facilitating fine brushwork.

Suitable for

• Historical scale models and military vehicle kits
• Miniatures and figures requiring accurate WWII Luftwaffe uniform tones
• Detailing, layering and weathering when used with compatible techniques
• Restoration work on small painted parts and plastic components

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use. Prime the model surface with a suitable primer and allow it to cure. Dispense a small amount onto a palette or mixing surface and apply with an appropriate brush in thin, even layers. For full coverage, allow each layer to dry before applying the next. Use thinners or blending mediums specifically recommended for water-based acrylics if needed for glazing or feathering effects. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For historically accurate results, test the colour on a scrap surface or hidden area before applying to the final model. Apply thin layers to retain surface detail and allow proper drying between coats. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and keep the dispenser tip clean to prevent clogging.
