Acrylic paint VALLEJO 70.952 Yellow 17 ml — liquid acrylic for model & craft

VALLEJO 70.952 Yellow is a matt, opaque liquid acrylic paint supplied in a 17 ml bottle, formulated for brush-on application in model making, miniatures and general craft projects. Part of the Model Color range, this water-based paint features a high pigment concentration to deliver solid coverage and consistent color across both large areas and fine details. It dries quickly to a uniform, self-leveling film and adheres well to primed surfaces including plastics, resin, metal and painted bases when proper priming is applied.

Advantages

The paint offers a high pigment load for strong opacity and color depth, enabling reliable layering and detailing. Its water-based formula allows for easy thinning and mixing without solvents, and brushes and tools are cleaned with water. Fast drying and self-leveling properties help achieve smooth finishes on varied model surfaces, while formulation compatibility with primers ensures good adhesion to resin, plastics, steel and white metal.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models and military miniatures
• Detail work on figurines, dioramas and busts
• General hobby and craft projects requiring opaque yellow tones
• Layering, glazing and color mixing with other acrylics

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to homogenize pigments. Apply the paint on a surface that has been primed with an appropriate primer for the substrate. For fine details use a suitable brush; for larger areas apply multiple thin coats rather than a single thick coat to preserve detail and ensure even drying. If thinning is needed, dilute with a small amount of water or a compatible acrylic thinner to achieve the desired flow. Allow each coat to dry before applying subsequent layers.

Usage recommendations

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use on properly primed surfaces for best adhesion and longevity. When mixing with other colors from the Model Color range, test on a scrap piece to confirm the resulting shade. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use to prevent paint drying on bristles.
