Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 70.984 Flat Brown 17 ml Bottle

Vallejo 70.984 is a matt, opaque acrylic paint in a water-based formula, presented in a 17 ml bottle. Developed for brush application, this Flat Brown shade belongs to the Model Color range, formulated with a high pigment concentration to deliver uniform coverage and rapid drying. It adheres well to common modelling materials including plastic, resin, metal and steel, producing a self-leveling, homogeneous paint film suitable for both broad surfaces and fine details.

Advantages

The paint offers high pigment load for strong, even colour with one-coat opacity in many cases and fast drying to a durable matt finish. Its water-based formulation allows easy dilution and cleaning of brushes with water. The Model Color line provides compatibility with a wide palette of reference shades for historical figures, vehicles, aircraft and military models, and includes transparent and special-effect options for glazing and highlights.

Suitable for

• Brush painting on plastic model kits
• Painting resin and white metal miniatures
• Detail work on military vehicles, aircraft and figures
• Layering, glazing and mixing with other water-based acrylics

When it may not be suitable

This product is designed primarily for brush application rather than airbrushing; for airbrush use it may require thinning and careful testing. Extremely glossy or untreated smooth surfaces may need priming to ensure optimal adhesion and uniform finish.

Key specifications

• Colour: Flat Brown
• Finish: Matt, opaque
• Volume: 17 ml
• Formula: Water-based acrylic
• Application: Brush-on
• Drying behaviour: Fast-drying, self-leveling

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use. Apply the paint with a clean brush onto a primed surface for best results. For thinner coats or glazing, dilute with water or a recommended acrylic thinner and test on a spare part. Allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent coats; the paint dries quickly to a homogenous matt film. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended application method (brush vs airbrush)
• Need for priming the model surface for adhesion
• Required colour match for historical or vehicle references
• Quantity needed for the project (17 ml bottle size)

Usage recommendations

For consistent results on miniatures and models, prime the surface first, use thin successive layers rather than a single heavy coat, and clean brushes with water right after painting. Test thinning ratios when mixing with other acrylics or preparing for airbrushing.
