Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 70.872 Chocolate Brown, Bottle 17 ml

Vallejo 70.872 acrylic paint in a 17 ml brown bottle is a water-based, matt and opaque model paint formulated for brush application. It features a high pigment concentration for good coverage and fast drying to a self-leveling, homogeneous film. The colour is identified as Chocolate Brown and is suitable for painting miniatures, vehicles, aircraft and other scale model surfaces once a primer has been applied. The paint cleans up with water and shows strong adhesion to resin, plastic, metal and white metal.

Advantages

This acrylic paint provides high pigment density for even coverage and opaque finish. It dries quickly to a smooth, self-leveling layer that works well on both large areas and fine details. The water-based formula allows easy cleaning of brushes and tools with water, while demonstrating excellent adhesion to common modelling materials such as resin, plastics, steel and white metal.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Painting historical and fantasy miniatures
• Detailing scale models of vehicles, aircraft and military subjects
• Layering and basecoating prior to weathering and finishing
• Brush-on glazing and small-area touch-ups

When it may not be suitable

The paint is designed for brush application and may be less convenient for airbrush use without thinning. It is recommended to apply over a primed surface; adhesion and finish can be compromised if applied directly to unprepared or oily substrates.

Key specifications

• Finish: Matt, opaque
• Colour: Chocolate Brown
• Volume: 17 ml
• Base: Water-based acrylic
• Application: Brush
• Drying: Rapid, forms self-leveling film

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use. Apply the paint with a clean brush over a primed surface; thin if necessary for smoother layers or for airbrush application. Allow each layer to dry before applying additional coats or effects. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended application method (brush vs airbrush) — thinning may be required for airbrush
• Ensure model surfaces are primed and clean for best adhesion
• Check colour (Chocolate Brown) to match project requirements
• Volume (17 ml) suitable for detail work and touch-ups rather than large-area coverage

Usage recommendations

For best results on miniatures and models, apply over a compatible primer, use thin successive coats for an even finish, and clean brushes with water immediately after painting.
