Acrylic paint VALLEJO 70.986 Brown (Deck Tan) 17 ml bottle

VALLEJO 70.986 Brown (Deck Tan) is a 17 ml bottle of water-based acrylic paint formulated for brush-on application in modelling and hobby painting. This Model Color acrylic delivers a matt, opaque finish with high pigment concentration, designed to produce an even, self-leveling paint film on primed surfaces. The dispenser bottle allows controlled application and minimal waste, and the formulation cleans up easily with water.

Advantages

This acrylic paint offers high pigment load for good coverage and colour fidelity in small doses, giving a matt, opaque result suitable for both large areas and fine details. The water-based formulation permits thinning and layering without compromising adhesion on common modelling materials such as plastic, resin and metal. Fast drying and self-leveling properties reduce brush marks and facilitate subsequent weathering or glazing techniques.

Suitable for

• Model making and scale models (vehicles, aircraft, dioramas)
• Miniatures and figures for brush painting and detailing
• Hobby projects requiring matt, opaque brown tones
• Layering, glazing and weathering effects with compatible acrylic products

How to use

Apply VALLEJO 70.986 on a surface that has been properly primed for best adhesion and colour result. Shake the bottle before use and dispense a small amount to the palette or directly to the brush. Thin with water or an appropriate acrylic medium if required to achieve smoother brushstrokes or transparent layers. Allow each layer to dry before applying additional coats, glazes or weathering techniques. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results on miniatures and fine detail work, use thin, multiple coats rather than a single heavy coat. Test compatibility with primers and varnishes on a spare piece of the same material before applying finishing products.
