Acrylic paint VALLEJO 70.829 — red, 17 ml bottle

VALLEJO 70.829 is a red, water-based acrylic paint in a 17 ml dropper bottle formulated for modelling, miniatures, crafts and fine-detail work. This opaque, matt shade belongs to the Model Color range and offers high pigment concentration for consistent coverage, quick drying and a self-leveling finish. The liquid formula is suitable for brush application and can be thinned for airbrushing; it adheres well to primed plastic, resin, metal and other common modelling surfaces and is cleaned up easily with water.

Advantages

The paint provides strong color intensity and matt opacity with excellent adherence on a wide variety of modelling materials. Its high pigment load and stable formulation deliver uniform coverage and good layering capability for glazing, shading and details. The 17 ml dropper bottle minimises waste and preserves the paint, and the water-based, solvent-free composition makes cleaning simple and reduces handling hazards associated with solventborne paints.

Suitable for

• Painting historical and fantasy miniatures
• Detailing scale models of vehicles, aircraft and military subjects
• Hobby crafts and small art projects requiring precise application
• Layering, glazing and fine brushwork techniques

How to use

Shake gently before use and dispense the required amount from the dropper bottle into a palette. For brush application use undiluted or thin slightly with water for smoother flow; for airbrushing dilute with an appropriate Vallejo thinner or water to achieve the desired viscosity. Apply onto a primed surface in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next to build opacity and avoid pooling. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For best results, prime the model with a compatible primer to improve adhesion and color fidelity. Use thin, multiple layers rather than a single thick coat to preserve surface details. Store the bottle upright with the cap tightly closed and keep in a cool, dry place to extend shelf life. Refer to the product's safety information for handling guidance.
