Vallejo Model Color Olive Brown (70889) is a deep black-brown acrylic paint with a subtle olive hue. Formerly known as USA Olive Drab, this shade is ideal for military models and WWII dioramas requiring authentic tones for uniforms, gear and vehicles.

This paint matches Federal Standard 34084, Gunze H-17, Humbrol 66, Revell 66 and Tamiya XF62. It is widely used for American and Allied tanks, artillery, cargo trucks, and field gear, providing a realistic and historically accurate appearance.

Supplied in an 18ml transparent bottle with an eyedropper, it allows precise dosing and keeps the paint from drying out. If the tip clogs, simply clear it with a pin or toothpick.

The matte finish provides excellent opacity and a natural look, ideal for military modeling. Its smooth consistency ensures clean application without brush marks. Use it for layering, edge highlighting or shading large flat areas and detailed surfaces alike.

Vallejo Model Color Olive Brown is also great for weathering effects. Thin with water or matte medium to create washes and glazes that give depth and wear to your models. Mistakes are easy to fix with a bit of water or alcohol while the paint is still wet.

Pair Olive Brown with colors like Olive Drab, Khaki, Green Brown, or Field Drab for a full camo palette. It works perfectly as a basecoat for darker areas, or as a shadow tone under lighter highlights on uniforms and gear.

Whether you're painting a Sherman tank, an ammo crate or a muddy coat, Olive Brown delivers depth, realism and control to every part of your military project.
