Vallejo Model Color English Uniform (70921) is a warm olive-brown acrylic paint with a subtle grey undertone, modeled after authentic WWII British Army uniform colors. It is widely used for infantry figures, field gear and historical terrain bases in 1:35 or 1:72 scale.
This color matches Federal Standard 30145, Gunze H-72, Humbrol 29, Revell 87 and Vallejo Game Color 72062. English Uniform is ideal for jackets, trousers, backpacks and helmets, and also works great for weathered fabrics or worn surfaces.
The paint is supplied in an 18ml transparent bottle with an eyedropper tip, offering clean, controlled application without waste. If the dropper clogs, it can easily be cleared with a needle or cocktail stick.
With a smooth matte finish and high pigment load, English Uniform provides strong coverage and a brush-stroke-free application. Its fine consistency is perfect for layering, highlighting or shading details on both figures and gear.
You can thin this paint with water or matte medium to create glazes, washes or subtle transitions. The earthy tone blends easily into other natural colors for building up realistic, nuanced surfaces on uniforms and equipment.
Vallejo Model Color English Uniform pairs well with Khaki, Green Brown, Buff or Flat Earth. Use it as a basecoat or mid-tone in complex camo schemes or as a standalone uniform shade for British troops.
Its versatility makes it suitable not just for figures but also for accessories like tents, tarps, crates and bags. The subdued finish helps maintain historical accuracy in scenes from Normandy to North Africa.
Mistakes can be corrected while wet using water or alcohol, making this a forgiving paint for hobbyists of all levels. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced painter, English Uniform offers consistency and reliability.
A staple color for anyone building British or Allied WWII armies, it brings depth, authenticity and subtle realism to any project involving military miniatures or dioramas.
