Vallejo Model Color Extra Dark Green (70896) is a deep black-green acrylic paint ideal for painting historical miniatures, vehicles, and military uniforms. The color is based on original military references, making it perfect for WWII and modern conflict themes.

It closely matches RAL 6012 and RLM 73, and is often used on tanks, jackets, helmets, and field gear. With its authentic tone, Extra Dark Green is an essential addition to any modeler's collection focused on realistic diorama and figure painting.

The paint comes in a transparent 18ml bottle with an eyedropper, allowing for precise dosing. This not only reduces waste but also keeps the paint fresh longer. If the nozzle clogs, it can be easily cleared with a needle or toothpick.

Extra Dark Green dries to a matte finish and has a smooth, creamy consistency. It applies easily with a brush, leaving no visible brush strokes, and offers excellent coverage. You can achieve a solid, even coat with just a few thin layers.

The paint is fully lightfast, meaning it retains its color over time without fading. It's perfect for long-term display or projects requiring durability. For more advanced techniques like glazing and layering, the paint can be thinned with water or mediums such as matte medium. This allows you to build up shadows and highlights with realism and subtlety.

If you make a mistake, it’s easy to fix while the paint is still wet. A little water or alcohol will remove it without damaging the underlying surface, making this paint very forgiving and user-friendly.

Vallejo Model Color Extra Dark Green pairs beautifully with other shades in the Panzer Series and Model Color range, such as Olive Green, Tank Brown, and Fieldgrey. Together they form a balanced palette for military and historical themes.

Whether you're working on a Wehrmacht tank, modern armored vehicle, or a weathered sci-fi figure, this deep black-green shade delivers professional, realistic results that make your models stand out.
