Vallejo Game Color Blue 18 ml: Scale, Subject & Display Guide

Rather than repeating the catalog description for Vallejo Game Color Blue 18 ml, this guide turns the model paint listing into a decision record. It explains how the Vallejo item is identified, how the available evidence should be read, and where confirmation is still required.

Exact identity and distinguishing details

• Exact product: Vallejo Game Color Blue 18 ml
• Brand or vendor: Vallejo
• Product type: Model Paint
• SKU or catalog key: VLJ72088
• Year appearing in the identity: 2088

The recorded price at verification was $3.99 before shipping and tax. At least one variant was orderable when the record was checked.

Identity should be established in layers: title first, then vendor, then SKU, then the photographed details. The year 2088 belongs to the listing identity; it should not automatically be treated as the manufacturing date of the item. The quantity wording 72088 Pack should be reconciled with the package photo and option selected. For this record, VLJ72088 is the compact reference that can be checked against invoices and packaging.

Reading the source record carefully

Current catalog evidence can be summarized as follows: “Vallejo Game Color Blue 18 ml is an exact Vallejo catalog item for scale-model or model-railroad work. Verified details Manufacturer: Vallejo Part number: 72088 Package / specifications: Acrylic colors in a matte and opaque, water-based formula, especially designed for brush-on use. Each color has been meticulously developed in collaboration with model-painters who specialize in fantasy figures and dioramas. The formulation of these colors has been developed taking into account that some of these figures are used in tabletop games, so that Game Color is manufactured with a revolutionary new resin which offers extraordinary resistance to the damage caused by frequent handling. Comes in 18 ml./0.61 fl. oz. bottle with security seal Eyedropper bottle prevents paint from evaporating and drying in container Safety seal Goes on thin,…” Every additional recommendation in this guide is framed as a check or planning step when the listing itself does not confirm the answer.

Practical use and compatibility

For a diecast or scale collectible, the subject name alone is insufficient. Compare body casting, finish, graphics, wheel design, interior, base markings and packaging format. On Vallejo Game Color Blue 18 ml, the exact photo set and SKU VLJ72088 are the reference pair; a model with the same vehicle name but a different wheel, road number or package is a different release.

Condition language must also match the format. A loose item is judged from the photographed surfaces and axles, while a packaged item adds card, blister, box and seal condition. A finished custom should be assessed for workmanship and disclosed modifications; a build kit should be assessed for included parts and fitment rather than as a completed collectible.

Where similar listings differ

Similar diecast products often differ in small, high-value details. Review the wheel spokes, tire profile, base color, glazing, interior, license or race markings and package code. The aim is not to assign a grade from a distance but to confirm that the delivered item matches the release purchased.

Display and handling should follow the format: loose models need nonabrasive separation, packages need edge and blister protection, and project cars need a documented baseline before disassembly.

Why the exact photo set matters

The gallery contains 1 indexed product image. Compare label text, package shape, visible contents, finish and any small identifying marks with the delivered item. A context image can show tools or related products that are not included, so the written record and selected option still control package contents.

The short decision checklist

• Use the complete name, not a shortened marketplace label.
• Use VLJ72088 to prevent a near-match substitution.
• Read the variant and inventory state shown now.
• Confirm technical requirements from the current manufacturer source.
• Keep the receipt and one reference image with the product record.

Preserving the identity trail

Catalog the item under the complete title and VLJ72088, then add the date received and the condition actually observed. For a project item, note where it was installed or how it was used. For a collectible, note package and display condition separately.

Retaining the exact identifiers protects the record when product titles or availability later change.

Gift considerations

For gifting, the product image can verify the visual subject while the SKU VLJ72088 verifies the release. Both checks matter when the recipient collects small variations.

Questions answered by the exact listing

Can a similar title be treated as the same release?

Not without matching VLJ72088 and the images. Similar subjects can differ by scale, finish, road number, quantity, interface or packaging.

Does the article guarantee every specification?

No. It distinguishes confirmed listing facts from checks that still need current source documentation.

What should be saved after purchase?

Keep the receipt, exact URL, SKU, selected option and at least one arrival photograph.

Decision summary: choose Vallejo Game Color Blue 18 ml when the complete identity, photographed details and intended use all match. The live page should settle current price and availability; this guide preserves the evidence needed to recognize the exact item.
