Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 70.887 Olive Bottle 17 ml, dispenser bottle, colour ANA613

Vallejo 70.887 Olive Bottle is a matt, opaque acrylic paint formulated for brush application. It uses a water-based formula with a high pigment concentration to deliver even coverage and a self-leveling, homogeneous paint film. The Model Color range includes basic shades and specialized references for historical figures, vehicles, aircraft and military models. These colors dry quickly, adhere well to resin, plastics, steel and white metal, and can be cleaned from tools and brushes with water.

Advantages

The paint provides high pigment concentration in a water-based acrylic medium, producing matt, opaque finishes ideal for modelling details as well as larger surfaces. It dries rapidly and forms a uniform, self-leveling film with strong adhesion on common modelling materials including resin, plastic, steel and white metal. The Model Color range also offers glazes, transparent and fluorescent tones for special effects.

Suitable for

• Brush painting of scale models and miniatures
• Historical figures and military miniatures
• Scale vehicle, aircraft and tank models
• Touch-ups and fine detail work on resin, plastic or metal parts

When it may not be suitable

This water-based acrylic is not intended for airbrush use without proper thinning and testing; for consistent airbrushing performance a specific airbrush thinner or Vallejo airbrush products may be preferable. Also, the matt, opaque finish may not be suitable when a glossy or high-gloss finish is required without a separate varnish.
