Vallejo Model Color is one of the most established references in scale modelling and miniature painting. The 70809 Royal Blue comes in the standard 18 ml dropper format, allowing precise dispensing and minimising waste on the palette. Its updated formula keeps the qualities that have made this range a reliable choice for hobbyists and experienced painters alike: smooth brush flow, solid opacity and a drying time that does not force long waits between coats.
A blue that performs well from the first coat
The matt finish of the 70809 is particularly forgiving on textured surfaces, where unwanted shine can break the visual reading of the piece. The self-levelling formula helps the paint settle evenly, reducing brushstroke marks and making it easier to achieve a clean result even in fine detail areas. Vallejo recommends applying over a primed surface to get the most out of the coverage.
At the workbench, the dropper makes a real difference
For painters working on wargame miniatures or multi-session modelling projects, Vallejo's dropper format has genuine practical value: it lets you take exactly the amount you need, without opening pots or risking the paint drying before use. Royal Blue, with its code 60 in the range display, fits naturally into cool colour palettes, military uniforms, vehicles or any project where a matt, covering blue is the starting point.
Water-based acrylic formula, non-toxic
Like the entire Model Color range, the 70809 is water-based, making brush and tool cleanup straightforward and comfortable to use in enclosed spaces. It is a paint designed to perform well with a brush, with high pigmentation and coverage that does not require excessive coats to achieve a solid, even colour.
