Acrylic paint VALLEJO 73.614 Grey 17 ml bottle (IDF Israeli Sand Grey)

VALLEJO acrylic paint 73.614 Grey in a 17 ml dispenser bottle (IDF Israeli Sand Grey, code 61-73) is a water-based acrylic formulated for controlled application on models, miniatures and hobby projects. The paint delivers a neutral grey sand tone suitable for military schemes and realistic weathering. The dispenser bottle enables precise drops and measured amounts for thinning, layering and fine detail work. This water-based formulation offers straightforward mixing with other acrylics and is compatible with common hobby thinning and cleaning products.

Advantages

This acrylic paint provides a stable, neutral grey-sand colour that is easy to thin and layer for gradual color build-up. The 17 ml dispenser bottle allows accurate dosing to avoid waste and supports brush, airbrush (when properly thinned) and detail-tool application. Being water-based, the paint is easy to clean from tools and surfaces while still offering good coverage and adhesion on properly prepared model materials.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models and military miniatures requiring Israeli sand/grey tones
• Weathering and basecoating of tanks, vehicles and diorama elements
• Detail painting where controlled application and fine shading are needed
• Mixing with other acrylics to obtain custom shades and effects

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Apply directly from the dispenser for small details or transfer a measured amount to a palette for brushing. For airbrush use, thin with an appropriate acrylic thinner or Vallejo Airbrush Thinner/Flow Improver to achieve the desired viscosity, following typical airbrush compressor settings around 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg) for fine atomization. Allow each thin layer to dry before applying subsequent layers to build color evenly and preserve surface detail. Clean brushes and airbrush components with water and, for best maintenance, Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner.

Usage recommendations

Use a suitable primer on resin, PVC, metal or wood surfaces before applying the paint to improve adhesion and preserve model detail. Apply primer in thin, even layers and allow to dry fully. When airbrushing, start with low pressure and gradually adjust to avoid overspray; when mixing with other colors, test small amounts to reach the intended shade. Store the bottle upright, tightly closed and away from freezing temperatures.
