Review: Nice, even, detailed coat - This came out great on my recent model. It laid down nicely with an airbrush (only added a couple drops of flow improver) and it even hand-brushes well. Coverage, while not perfect, is decent. You'll have to lay down multiple coats if you're covering up darker colors. It dries very thin so even very fine model details still pop. Love it! The color is a bit lighter and more yellow-ey than I expected, but it's a primer, so it works.
Review: Great primer - I use this whenever I am priming for flesh tones. A good warm light color

## Features

- The primer is the first layer of colour that is applied on the model in order to prepare the surface for the subsequent painting processes. In order to guarantee an excellent adherence it is necessary to apply it on a previously ‘degreased’ surface, therefore it is advisable to wash the model or the figure before priming it in order to remove the remains of release agents
- Vallejo Primers is a range of acrylic primers specially formulated for airbrushing. Recommended compressor settings for our colours are around 15 - 20 PSI or 0.5 to 1 kg. Primer is not flammable, and does not contain solvents
- The primers are applied in successive coats and dry quickly, forming a homogeneous film of extraordinary hardness and resistance within a few hours after application. They can be used directly or diluted with our Airbrush Thinner (B002X6DTHK) or Flow Improver (B00QD780G0)
- The desert tan primer is available in 18 ml (0.6 fl. oz.) bottles with dropper, and 60 ml (2.02 fl. oz.) and 200 ml (6.76 fl. oz.) bottles with hinged cap and eyedropper
- Note: The brand Vallejo is currently in the process of rebranding, therefore, for a period of time, it is possible that you may receive the product with either the new packaging or the old packaging.

Love Vallejo primers. This is no exception. Great color match for desert dioramas and model vehicles. Much better value for money in the 200ml bottle. Recommend!
