Paint bottle VALLEJO Brown 35 ml (model 73.103) — acrylic model paint, 35 ml

VALLEJO Brown 35 ml (model 73.103) is an acrylic model paint supplied in a 35 ml bottle, formulated for scale modelling, miniatures and hobby projects. The colour provides a medium to dark brown tone designed for detail painting, weathering effects and realistic surface finishes on plastic, resin and metal model parts. The water-based acrylic formulation offers good coverage, easy thinning with water or compatible acrylic thinners, and straightforward cleanup with water.

Advantages

This acrylic paint has a finely milled pigment load that ensures smooth application and even coverage on small surfaces. It is ready to use straight from the bottle for precise brushwork, layering and blending, while remaining compatible with standard modelling techniques such as washes and glazes. The formulation dries to a durable finish suitable for subsequent varnishing or pigment application, and it cleans up with water, simplifying tool maintenance.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models and miniatures
• Weathering and detailing on vehicles, dioramas and figures
• Touch-ups and small repairs on painted surfaces
• Layering, blending and glazing techniques

Key specifications

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure pigment dispersion. Apply with a fine brush for detail work or thin with water or an acrylic-compatible thinner for smoother coverage and airbrushing. For layering or glazing, use thin coats and allow each coat to dry before applying the next. For weathering, combine with washes, pigments or thinners as required, and fix pigments with an appropriate binder if modelling textured dirt or mud. Allow painted surfaces to dry fully before handling or applying varnish.

Usage recommendations

Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Test compatibility with primers, varnishes and other paints on a scrap piece before applying to the finished model. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use to prevent drying in the bristles.
