Vallejo Model Colour Sunny Skintone 18ml is part of the newly updated Model Colour range—formulated for miniature and scale-model painters who need smooth application, reliable coverage and a clean matt finish. This warm, mid-light skin tone is ideal for building natural complexions, sunlit highlights and lively flesh tints on figures across historical, fantasy and sci-fi projects.

• Smooth, self-levelling film: Dries quickly to a homogeneous matt surface that preserves the finest sculpted detail.
• High opacity & brush control: Excellent coverage with refined flow for layering, glazing and edge work without visible brush marks.
• BSL system ready: Arranged within Vallejo’s Base-Shade-Light logic to help you locate complementary highlight and shadow partners fast.
• Updated, eco-minded bottle: 18 ml transparent r-PET (recycled/recyclable) dropper with renewed graphics for accurate colour ID and clean dispensing.

Application & tips: For best results, apply on a previously primed surface. Shake thoroughly. Use straight from the bottle for basecoats, or thin slightly with water/acrylic medium for glazing and subtle tonal shifts. For airbrush work, thin with Vallejo thinner and apply in light passes. Touch-dry rapidly; allow to cure before masking or weathering. Clean tools with water or acrylic brush cleaner.

Colour use cases: Sunny Skintone is excellent for mid-tones and highlights on light-to-medium complexions, for warm reflected light on darker skin mixes, and for sun-kissed accents on faces, knuckles, elbows and knees. It also mixes beautifully with reds for blush, with violets for cooler shadows, and with ivory/white for crisp specular hits on noses, brows and cheekbones.

The refreshed Model Colour range introduces 32 new colours while retaining the majority of legacy names and reference numbers—so your favourite standards remain familiar. You’ll also find equivalents aligned to common WWII and later military codifications (RAL, RLM, FS) for consistent, spec-friendly projects.
