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.

Excellent primer
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!

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

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

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.

Der Einsatz des Primers hat gut funktiniert. Die Verklebung mit einen Pur-Kleber hat gut gehalten.
