Vallejo Model Color - Hull Red

Hull Red is the dark, brownish oxide red every modeller ends up needing — the colour of ship hulls, red primer, worn leather and dried blood. It's muted enough to sit quietly under weathering and rich enough to stand on its own, which is why it lives permanently on so many palettes.

At a glance

Best for

• Hull and oxide-primer effects
• Leather, rust and worn metal
• Deep red basecoats under brighter reds

Layer a brighter red over the top for depth, or leave it flat and let a wash do the weathering — either way it earns its spot on the palette.

A hard-working oxide red you'll keep coming back to. Pair it with a rust technical paint and the rest of the Vallejo Model Color range.
