Gunship Green is a stylish grey-green tone in the Vallejo Model Color range. With its balanced matte finish and neutral undertone, it’s perfect for hobbyists aiming for realism and depth in military, sci-fi, or post-apocalyptic projects. The color blends green and grey into a subtle tone, ideal for helicopters, tanks, uniforms, and terrain elements.
This paint is made with permanent pigments and is fully lightfast. It dries to a clean matte surface, and its smooth consistency allows for even brush application without streaks. Gunship Green offers strong opacity and is well-suited for techniques like glazing, layering, and drybrushing.
It pairs well with other shades in the Model Color range. For shadows, 70970 Deep Green adds depth, while 70837 Pale Green or a mix with 70951 White works well for highlights. These combinations create smooth transitions, ideal for panel lighting or worn effects.
Gunship Green excels as a base coat on modern military vehicles, sci-fi armor, post-apocalyptic machines, or battlefield ruins. In dioramas, it works for mossy surfaces, oxidized metals, or aged bunker walls when applied as a glaze or weathering tone.
For contrast and visual interest, pair it with 70910 Orange Red for warning stripes or insignias, or use 70940 Saddle Brown for earth-toned accents. It also works beautifully with metallics like 70863 Gunmetal Grey to create a gritty, industrial look.
The paint comes in an 18ml r-PET bottle with a dropper cap, making it easy to dispense accurately and cleanly. This design helps extend shelf life and prevents waste. If the nozzle clogs, simply clear it with a needle or toothpick.
Like all Model Color paints, Gunship Green is reliable, flexible, and suitable for painters of all levels. Mistakes are easy to fix while the paint is still wet, using water or a little alcohol. It’s a must-have for any painter looking to expand their green and grey spectrum for grounded, serious projects.
