Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 70.822 Brown (RLM61) 17 ml Bottle

Vallejo Model Color acrylic paint in Brown (RLM61) is a matt, opaque water-based paint formulated for brush application on scale models and miniatures. It features a high pigment concentration that produces a uniform, self-leveling finish and dries quickly to a stable film. The paint is suitable for use on plastic, resin, metal and steel and is supplied in a small bottle designed for controlled dispensing.

Advantages

This acrylic paint provides strong coverage and consistent colour saturation due to its high pigment load. It offers rapid drying, excellent adhesion on common modelling materials (plastic, resin, white metal and steel), and a self-leveling finish that preserves fine detail. The water-based formula allows brushes and tools to be cleaned with water.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models, military vehicles and aircraft
• Historical figure painting and miniature detailing
• Touch-ups and basecoating on plastic and resin kits

When it may not be suitable

This product is optimized for brush-on application; it may require thinning or different handling for airbrush use. For non-porous or glossy surfaces, priming is recommended to ensure optimal adhesion and uniform coverage.
