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.

Great primer

I use this whenever I am priming for flesh tones. A good warm light color

C**L

Perfect color

This is a great product, use it for most all primers on models.

Splendid!

Between coverage and tone, It what you come to expect from Vallejo. Quality.

Desert tan...for which side?

I expected this to be thin - as Paul H. mentions, it's airbrush paint (Vallejo loves it some airbrush). It goes well over standard grey primer (or white). But my kvetch was that it's just a tad white for DAK yellow, which was what I wanted... It's almost straight Brit tan! Fortunately, I was able to fix it with a yellow ink wash and of course an Agrax Earthshade follow-up.

Great for brush painting WH 40K

Just started painting WH40K. The primer is good I use it with a brush. Goes smoothly on models and does not cover details

J**H

Great stuff!

Excellent primer. I brush it on. No streaks, covers in one or two coats.

A**D

Flows nicely from my airbrush but lacks strength.

I've noticed that this primer tends to rub off on sharp corners. Nothing some varnish cant fix but its a bit annoying.
