Acrylic Paint Vallejo 70.819 Brown (Iraqi Sand) 17 ml Bottle

Vallejo Model Color acrylic paint in a 17 ml bottle provides a matt, opaque brown shade formulated for brush application. The water-based formula contains a high pigment concentration for even coverage and fast drying. It is designed for use on models, miniatures and scale replicas and offers strong adhesion to plastics, resin, metal and other common modelling surfaces. The paint creates a self-leveling, uniform film suitable for both broad areas and fine details.

Advantages

The paint delivers a matt, opaque finish with intense pigment load and rapid drying, enabling precise brushwork and uniform coverage. It adheres well to a variety of modelling materials and is compatible with water cleaning of tools and brushes. Available in a wide range of shades including historically researched tones and special-effect transparent or fluorescent options within the same product range.

Suitable for

• Brush painting of scale models, military vehicles and aircraft
• Painting historical figures and miniatures
• Detail work and base coating on plastics, resin and metal
• Layering, glazing and special effects when combined with other Model Color shades

When it may not be suitable

This water-based acrylic is intended for brush application and may not perform like solvent-based enamels or lacquers in some specialised industrial or automotive contexts. Very glossy finishes or heavy-duty exterior protection require additional products such as varnishes or sealants formulated for that purpose.

How to use

Prime the surface before applying the paint for best adhesion and colour fidelity. Stir or shake the bottle gently, then apply with a clean brush in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding the next. The paint flows to form a homogenous film; thin with water if necessary to improve flow or for glazing effects. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the chosen brown (Iraqi Sand) tone matches your project requirements
• Plan for priming and sealing if you need enhanced durability or gloss
• Check compatibility with other paints or effects you plan to use

Usage recommendations

For accurate colour and smooth results use on a well-primed surface, apply in thin layers, and finish with an appropriate varnish depending on the desired sheen and protection level.
