Carmine Red 70908 is one of those references that any modeller or miniature painter ends up keeping on the workbench. It belongs to the Model Color range by Acrylicos Vallejo, a Spanish company with decades of experience in world-class acrylic paints, and it now arrives in a new formula that improves both flow and the intensity of the matte finish.
New formula, same red as always
The update to this reference does not change its character: it remains a highly pigmented carmine red with intense coverage and fast drying. What improves is the flow during application and the evenness of the self-levelling matte finish, which means fewer brushmarks and a cleaner surface once dry. The 18 ml r-PET bottle with integrated dropper allows precise dosing and keeps the paint in good condition for longer by reducing evaporation.
A red that works well on miniatures and plastic models
Confirmed compatibility with plastic models and wargame miniatures makes it a solid choice for both scale modelling projects and figure painting. On the workbench, a red with this level of opacity covers well in just a few coats, saving time and making it easier to control the final result. It is also a regular reference in fine arts, which gives an idea of how versatile the formula is. It has that quality of colour that, applied well, brings real life to a miniature or a kit detail without needing coat after coat to show through.
A natural fit in any paint collection
70908 sits at position 33 in the Model Color display, making it easy to locate within an organised Vallejo paint collection. For anyone who works regularly with the range, it is a reference that is easy to integrate and restock. A matte carmine red with this coverage has a place in almost any project: military vehicles, fantasy figures, competition car kits or any scene where red needs presence without gloss.
