Acrylic Wash Paint VALLEJO Vallejo Red Wash 17 ml — Red

Vallejo Red Wash is a water-based acrylic wash paint supplied in a 17 ml bottle, designed to enhance shading, panel lines and fine surface details on scale models, miniatures and dioramas. Formulated without solvents, this red wash spreads easily by brush and can be removed or softened with water before it dries, allowing precise control over washes and weathering effects. The fast-drying formula forms a thin, even film that preserves sculpted detail and is compatible with common modelling materials when applied over a suitable primer.

Advantages

This red acrylic wash offers controlled flow for reliable shading and panel lining without obscuring detail. Being water-based and solvent-free, it is easy to dilute, clean up and correct with water while still wet. The formulation provides good adhesion on primed surfaces commonly used in modelling, and dries to a matt finish that integrates well with both acrylic paints and other Vallejo Game Color products. Its compact 17 ml bottle is convenient for hobby use and helps reduce paint waste.

Suitable for

• Shading and panel lining on plastic, resin and metal miniatures
• Creating weathering effects and depth on scale models and dioramas
• Enhancing recessed details on fantasy figures and tabletop game miniatures

How to use

Apply the wash with a fine brush to the areas you want to shade or define, allowing the pigment to flow into recesses and panel lines. If a lighter effect is desired, dilute the wash with a little water before application. While the wash is still wet you can remove or soften excess with a clean, damp brush or cloth; once dry the film is permanent. For best results, use over a previously primed surface and allow underlying layers to be fully dry before applying the wash.

Usage recommendations

Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use. Test compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area if using over unfamiliar materials or coatings. Store the bottle upright, tightly closed and away from extreme temperatures. Refer to the product safety information for handling guidance.
