Vallejo Model Color Black Red (70859) is an intense dark red acrylic paint, specially designed for miniature painting and model building. This paint comes in a practical 18ml eyedropper bottle, allowing for precise dosing and minimizing waste. The bottle keeps the paint fresh for longer, and if the nozzle becomes clogged, it can be easily cleared with a needle or toothpick.
The Black Red shade, comparable to RAL 3007 and Tamiya XF9, is a rich and deep color, perfect for creating realistic shadows and dramatic accents. This shade is ideal for use in historical models, fantasy figures, or dioramas where depth and drama are needed. Use it to add intensity to uniforms, vehicles, or architectural elements.
Thanks to the premium Model Color formula, Black Red is fully lightfast and opaque, ensuring that the color does not fade even after prolonged exposure to light. The paint dries to a matte finish and provides an ultra-smooth coat with no visible brushstrokes, making it suitable for both novice and experienced painters.
Black Red can be easily thinned with water or mediums, giving you the versatility to apply techniques such as glazes or layered painting. Professional painters often use a wet brush, building the paint in thin layers to create realistic shadows and nuances. Mistakes can be easily corrected with water or a small amount of alcohol if addressed immediately.
Unleash your creativity with Black Red! This shade is perfect for painting dark and dramatic details, such as shadows on clothing or realistic weathering on vehicles. It can also be used to create rich accents on weapons, jewelry, or other details in your models.
