Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 73.609 60 ml Green Bottle (Russian Green 4BO)

VALLEJO Acrylic Paint 73.609 in a 60 ml green bottle (Russian Green 4BO) is a water-based acrylic formulated for model making, miniatures and hobby painting. Supplied in a dispenser bottle for controlled application, this paint delivers consistent pigment for detailing and basecoats in scale modelling and craft projects. The formulation is suitable for brush application and can be thinned for airbrush use to achieve smooth, even layers.

Advantages

This Vallejo acrylic offers stable colour and good coverage for both fine detailing and larger surface basecoats. The water-based formula allows easy thinning and cleanup with water or Vallejo airbrush cleaner, while the dispenser bottle gives precise control and reduces waste. Fast drying and designed for hobby use, it maintains adhesion on common modelling substrates when applied over an appropriate primer.

Suitable for

• Scale model painting (armour, aircraft, vehicles)
• Miniature figures and tabletop gaming models
• Craft and diorama detailing
• Brush and airbrush applications after proper thinning

Key specifications

• Volume: 60 ml (2.02 fl oz)
• Colour: Russian Green 4BO
• Base: water-based acrylic
• Packaging: dispenser bottle for controlled application
• Suitable application methods: brush and airbrush (airbrush after thinning)

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure uniform pigment. For brush painting, apply directly from the dispenser in thin coats, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next to avoid obscuring fine details. For airbrushing, thin the paint with a dedicated airbrush thinner or Vallejo Airbrush Thinner/Flow Improver to the desired viscosity and filter if necessary. Typical compressor settings for Vallejo airbrush thinning are around 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg) but adjust according to your equipment and nozzle size. Clean tools and airbrush with water or Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner after use.

Usage recommendations

For best adhesion and to preserve fine model detail, apply an appropriate primer before painting. Vallejo Surface Primer is compatible and available in basic shades; it can be applied directly or diluted with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner/Flow Improver. Apply primer in multiple thin layers, allow rapid drying, and then proceed with the 73.609 Russian Green for consistent results. Store paint capped and away from extreme temperatures.
