Vallejo Model Color Carmine Red – Deep Cool Red Acrylic Paint for Miniatures & Models

A rich, deep cool-toned red, Vallejo Model Color Carmine Red (70.908) sits between a true red and a crimson — making it an exceptionally versatile shade for dark armour, robes, banners, and shading warm reds on miniatures and scale models. Finely pigmented and water-based for smooth, consistent coverage straight from the eyedropper bottle.

Key Features

• Finely ground pigments for smooth application with minimal brushstrokes
• Water-based acrylic — non-toxic, low odour, and easy to clean up with water
• Supplied in a 17ml eyedropper bottle — prevents drying and allows precise dispensing
