Vallejo Model Color Iraqui Sand (70819) is a light brown acrylic paint with a subtle grey undertone, ideal for figures, terrain, and military models in desert settings. This shade is frequently used for worn uniforms, dusty vehicles, and sun-faded scenery, making it a popular pick among painters of historical miniatures and dioramas.

Packaged in an 18ml eyedropper bottle, this paint allows for easy and controlled dispensing, helping prevent waste and keeping the paint from drying out. The dropper format is especially useful for wet palette use or brush loading. Should the nozzle ever clog, simply clear it with a pin or toothpick.

The smooth formula and rich pigmentation give a matte finish free of brush marks. It’s excellent for layering in thin coats, letting you build up subtle gradients and detail work, especially effective on 1:72 or 28mm scale miniatures.

Iraqui Sand is fully opaque, fast-drying, and great for mixing. You can thin it with water or acrylic mediums to create glazes or weathering layers. The matte surface ensures excellent adhesion to primer and basecoats, resulting in a clean, professional finish. Any painting errors can be corrected with a bit of water or alcohol if addressed while still wet.

This color pairs wonderfully with warmer browns, sepia washes, or highlights like Buff and Pale Sand. It also matches closely with: Federal Standard 30475, Humbrol 121, Tamiya XF78, and Vallejo Model Air 71028.
