Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 70.916 Sand Yellow 17 ml Bottle – dispenser bottle, matt

Vallejo 70.916 is a matt, opaque acrylic paint in a water-based formula, supplied in a 17 ml bottle. Developed for brush application, it features a high pigment concentration that produces an even, self-leveling finish suitable for both broad areas and fine details on models. The paint offers strong adhesion to common modelling materials such as plastics, resin, steel and white metal and is recommended for use over a primed surface. Brushes and tools clean up easily with water.

Advantages

The formula delivers high opacity and a matt finish with rapid drying and excellent flow for brush work. Its concentrated pigments provide consistent coverage, while the water-based base allows simple cleaning and low odor. The paint is formulated to adhere well to multiple modelling substrates and to produce homogenous results on both large surfaces and miniature details.

Suitable for

• Hand-painting scale models and miniatures
• Painting plastic, resin, metal and white-metal figures or parts
• Applying base coats and colour layers on military vehicles, aircraft and figures
• Detail work where a matt, opaque yellow is required

When it may not be suitable

This acrylic is intended primarily for brush-on application; it may not be ideal for airbrushing without appropriate thinning or additives. It should be applied over a compatible primer—direct application on unprepared surfaces can lead to reduced adhesion or uneven coverage.

How to use

Shake the bottle before use and apply over a primed surface for best adhesion and colour fidelity. Use fine synthetic or sable brushes for detail work and broader brushes for larger areas. For thinner coats or to adapt the paint for airbrush use, dilute with the manufacturer's recommended thinner or water sparingly. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended application method (brush vs. airbrush)
• Need for primer on the model surface
• Required colour match—Sand Yellow is a matt yellow shade
• Volume per bottle (17 ml) for project size

Usage recommendations

For best results, prime the model first and apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat. Allow each layer to dry before adding details; clean brushes with water to preserve bristle condition.
