Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 70.837 17 ml Bottle — Brown (Pale Sand)

VALLEJO 70.837 17 ml Bottle — Brown (Pale Sand) is a matt, opaque acrylic model paint formulated for brush-on application. Supplied in a 17 ml plastic bottle with a dispenser, this Pale Sand brown offers high pigment concentration in a water-based formula developed for scale models, miniatures and hobby painting. The paint dries rapidly to a self-leveling, homogeneous film with good coverage and is suitable for both large surfaces and fine detail work.

Advantages

This Model Color acrylic delivers a matt finish with excellent opacity and strong pigment load, allowing accurate colour reproduction and consistent coverage. It adheres well to common modelling materials including resin, plastics, steel and white metal. The water-based formula enables easy thinning and brush blending, and tools and brushes can be cleaned with water. Rapid drying and self-leveling properties make it practical for layering, weathering and base coats.

Suitable for

• Scale model kits (vehicles, aircraft, ships)

• Hobby painting, detailing and weathering techniques
• Base coats and touch-up work on plastic, resin and metal parts

How to use

Shake the bottle before use and dispense a small amount onto a palette. For best results apply over a suitably primed surface. Use brushes appropriate to the scale of the work and thin the paint with water or an acrylic thinner if required to improve flow or achieve glazes. Apply thin, even coats and allow each layer to dry before adding further paint or weathering effects. The dispenser cap helps control small quantities for detail work.

Usage recommendations

Test the colour on a scrap piece of the same material and adjust dilution to match desired opacity. For fine detail or layering, apply several thin coats rather than a single thick coat to maintain surface detail and avoid pooling. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and reseal after use to preserve paint quality.
