Acrylic paint VALLEJO 70.901 Blue Bottle 17 ml (Pastel Blue)

VALLEJO 70.901 Blue Bottle 17 ml (Pastel Blue) is a water-based acrylic model paint supplied in a 17 ml dispenser bottle for controlled, brush-on application. Formulated for hobbyists and modelers, this pastel blue joins the Model Color range noted for high pigment concentration and a matt, opaque finish. The formula is designed to dry rapidly to a self-leveling, homogeneous film that performs well both on broad surfaces and on fine details, and it is suitable for use on primed plastics, resin, metal and other common modelling substrates.

Advantages

The paint offers high pigment density for strong, even coverage in a matt finish and good opacity for layering and detail work. Its water-based formulation allows easy thinning for airbrushing or finer brush control, and tools clean with water. VALLEJO Model Color exhibits excellent adhesion to resin, plastics, steel and white metal, and it dries to a self-leveling film that reduces brush marks on small-scale surfaces.

Suitable for

• Painting miniatures and figures
• Scale models of vehicles, aircraft and military equipment
• Hobby projects, dioramas and touch-ups
• Airbrush application after appropriate thinning

Key specifications

• Color family: pastel blue
• Finish: matt, opaque
• Volume: 17 ml dispenser bottle
• Base: water-based acrylic
• Drying: quick-drying to a self-leveling film
• Compatibility: suitable for plastics, resin, steel and white metal when applied over a primer
• Application methods: brush and airbrush (airbrush requires thinning)

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Apply over a properly primed surface for best adhesion and colour fidelity. For brush application use directly or thin slightly with water to improve flow; for airbrushing thin according to airbrush type and nozzle size until a consistent spray is achieved. Apply multiple thin layers for even coverage and to preserve surface detail. Allow each layer to dry before applying the next.

Usage recommendations

Store in a cool, dry place and cap securely after use to prevent drying. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use. Test thinning ratios and drying behavior on a scrap piece before working on final models, and apply over a suitable primer to maximize adhesion and durability.
