Acrylic paint VALLEJO 70.971 — Green/Grey, 17 ml liquid model paint

VALLEJO 70.971 — Green/Grey is a 17 ml liquid acrylic model paint formulated for brush application on scale models, miniatures and hobby projects. This matt, opaque color belongs to the Model Color range and offers a high pigment concentration in a water-based formula. Supplied in a small bottle with an eyedropper, the paint is suitable for precise detail work and touch-ups. It dries rapidly to a self-leveling, homogeneous film and shows strong adherence on common modelling surfaces including resin, plastics, metal and primed substrates.

Advantages

The formulation provides easy thinning and smooth application without flammability or solvent content. Rapid drying and self-leveling properties deliver consistent coverage on both large areas and fine details. The eyedropper bottle design minimizes evaporation and allows controlled dispensing for extended shelf life. Brushes and tools are cleaned with water, simplifying post-application maintenance.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models of vehicles, aircraft and ships
• Finishing historical and military miniatures
• Detail work and touch-ups on resin and plastic kits
• Hobby dioramas and small craft projects requiring a matt green-grey tone

Key specifications

• Finish: matt, opaque
• Volume: 17 ml
• Base: water-based acrylic
• Application: brush-on (liquid formulation)
• Drying: rapid, forms a self-leveling film
• Compatibility: good adhesion on resin, plastics, steel and white metal
• Cleaning: water-soluble before drying

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to homogenize pigments. Apply the paint over a properly primed surface for best adhesion and color accuracy. Thin with water or Vallejo-compatible thinner to adjust flow for fine details or broader coverage; apply multiple thin coats rather than a single thick layer to avoid loss of detail. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Use an eyedropper to dispense small amounts and reseal the bottle after use to minimize drying in the container.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results on miniatures and scale models, prime surfaces with a compatible primer, work in thin layers, and clean brushes with water immediately after use. Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve pigment quality and prevent viscosity changes.
