Vallejo Model Color Khaki Grey (70880) is an olive grey-brown acrylic paint with a matte finish, specifically developed for precision brushwork on miniatures and scale models. It’s ideal for painting WWII-era uniforms, gear, canvas, boots, and dust-toned weathering effects.
Comparable to Gunze H-81 and Revell 86, this color offers a subtle, earthy balance between grey, khaki and brown, making it versatile across historical, military and even fantasy themes. Whether you're painting infantry, tank crews, vehicles or terrain, Khaki Grey gives excellent muted tone coverage.
The updated Model Color formula provides full opacity and dries rapidly. The paint goes on smooth and even, leaving no brush marks even in thin coats, which is essential for creating detailed shading and highlights on textured surfaces or fabric folds.
Designed in collaboration with expert painters worldwide, the Model Color range uses permanent pigments for lasting results. Khaki Grey is fully lightfast and opaque, except for the few fluorescent or transparent tones in the range which are semi-opaque by design.
If you make a mistake during application, simply correct it with water or a bit of alcohol while the paint is still wet. The formula also mixes easily with mediums, allowing you to create glazes or layering effects. For best results, work with a wet brush and thin the paint slightly with water or matte medium, then build up soft gradients in multiple passes.
18ml dropper bottle
This paint comes in a transparent 18ml r-PET dropper bottle, designed to dispense precise amounts without waste or drying out. The bottle is recyclable and eco-friendly. If the nozzle becomes clogged, clear it with a needle or toothpick for continued smooth flow.
Part of Vallejo’s legendary Model Color range, Khaki Grey stands out for its usability and realism. Whether you’re a beginner working on your first tank or a competition-level figure painter, this color delivers consistent, reliable results every time.
