Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 70.918 Ivory 17 ml Bottle, Matte Finish

Vallejo 70.918 Ivory is a matte, water‑based acrylic paint in a 17 ml bottle designed for brush application. Part of the Model Color range, it offers a high pigment concentration and rapid drying to produce a uniform, self‑leveling paint film suitable for both broad surfaces and fine model details. The formula adheres well to resin, plastics, steel and white metal; brushes and tools clean up with water. This Ivory shade is intended for historical figures, vehicles, aircraft and other scale modelling projects requiring an off‑white matte finish.

Advantages

The paint provides high pigment density in a matt finish, ensuring good coverage and accurate colour reproduction. Its water‑based formula dries quickly to a homogenous, self‑leveling layer that works equally well on large areas and very small details. Excellent adhesion to common modelling materials such as resin, plastic, steel and white metal simplifies application across different model types.

Suitable for

• Brush painting of scale figures and miniatures
• Aircraft, vehicle and military model base coats and details
• Touch‑ups and fine detail work on plastic, resin and metal kits
• Historical and diorama elements requiring a matte ivory tone

When it may not be suitable

This paint is matt and opaque; it may not be the best choice when a glossy or highly transparent glaze effect is required. For airbrushing, thinning and specific airbrush formulations are typically recommended instead of straight application from the bottle.

Key specifications

• Colour: Ivory (off‑white)
• Finish: Matte
• Volume: 17 ml
• Base: Water‑based acrylic
• Application: Brush
• Drying: Rapid, forms a self‑leveling film

How to use

Shake the bottle before use. Apply with a suitable brush over a primed surface for best results. The paint can be used straight from the bottle for brush‑on work; apply thin, even coats and allow to dry between layers to build opacity and avoid brush marks. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended application method — formulated for brush use rather than direct airbrushing
• Needed finish — matte ivory rather than glossy or translucent
• Surface preparation — best results on primed models
• Volume per bottle — 17 ml

Usage recommendations

For best coverage on miniatures and models, prime the surface first, apply several thin coats rather than one thick coat, and clean brushes with water while the paint is still wet.
