Vallejo 70147 American Colonial set 16x17ml – Acrylic Paint Set for Modelers

Vallejo 70147 American Colonial set 16x17ml is a professional acrylic paint set from the Model Color series, designed for modelers passionate about recreating figures, uniforms, and dioramas from the period of the American War of Independence (American Revolutionary War, 1775-1783). The collection is distinguished by high-quality pigments and a carefully selected color palette, providing modelers access to historically accurate colors for American and British military uniforms and equipment from the late 18th century.

• Product category: acrylic paint set for models and dioramas
• The set includes 16 selected Model Color paints.
• Each bottle holds 17 ml with a precision dropper.
• Dedicated to painting figures, historical models, and scenes from the US War of Independence.
• Includes a color chart to help you choose the right shade.

The contents include, among others, shades used in regimental uniforms (Oxford Blue, Royal Blue), Continental uniforms (Scarlet, Khaki), skin tones, earth colors, and details for weaponry and equipment (Chocolate Brown, Flat Earth, Buff). The paints have excellent coverage and smooth application—they are easy to use for modelers with both brushes and airbrushes. The pigmentation ensures accuracy and long-lasting colors on plastic, metal, resin, and wooden surfaces.

This set is especially dedicated to those engaged in historical figure modeling in popular scales such as 1/72, 1/32, and 1/16. It is an excellent choice for both experienced modelers and beginners, allowing realistic painting of infantry, cavalry, and historical figures from the late 18th century. The wide range of shades also facilitates work on dioramas, where a subtle spectrum of ground and detail colors is required.

Vallejo 70147 American Colonial set 16x17ml is an investment in precision, durability, and historical accuracy, as well as versatility in various fields of scale and figure modeling. I assess the difficulty level at 1/5 – it is beginner-friendly and practical for professionals.

I recommend this product to modelers interested in 18th-century subjects and the reconstruction of historical figures from the American War of Independence. The broad palette will also be useful for painting fantasy, historical, and military figures.
