Vallejo Model Color US Field Drab (70873) is a matte brown-olive acrylic paint that captures the authentic tone of U.S. military field uniforms during WWII. Its muted earthy shade is ideal for painting fabric, vehicles, and dusty terrain bases with realistic precision.

This color is closely matched to Federal Standard 30118, Citadel Foundation 99200, and Vallejo Model Air 71029, making it perfect for those seeking accuracy in historical and military modeling projects.

The paint is presented in an 18ml dropper-style bottle, which allows for easy dosing and helps preserve the paint from drying out. If the nozzle gets clogged, you can quickly clear it with a pin or toothpick.

US Field Drab has a creamy, brush-friendly consistency and delivers a smooth, streak-free matte finish. It covers well in just a couple of layers and can be thinned with water or matte medium for layering or weathering effects.

It’s an excellent choice for painting canvas gear, field coats, vehicle tarps, and mud-coated equipment. To highlight this color, consider mixing with 70819 Iraqui Sand or 70976 Buff; for shadows, deepen it with 70941 Burnt Umber or 70872 Chocolate Brown.

This paint is part of Vallejo’s WWII-inspired range and is a favorite among historical miniature painters who value subtle and accurate tones for both figures and scenery.
