Vallejo Surface Primer Desert Tan 18ml 70.613

A warm, sandy tan primer for desert and arid environment subjects: North African WWII campaigns, Middle Eastern subjects, and Gulf War-era vehicles and figures. Applied as a primer it lays down the correct sandy base colour in a single step, ready for shading, highlighting, and detail work. Pairs naturally with Iraqi Sand and Pale Sand from the Model Color range for multi-step desert schemes, where the primer provides the mid-tone and the Model Color paints are used for shadows and highlights.

About Vallejo Surface Primer: Vallejo Surface Primer is a water-based polyurethane formula that can be applied directly by brush or airbrush and works on all standard model surfaces including plastic, resin, PVC, white metal, brass, and wood. The primer is self-levelling, dries to a matte finish, and forms a film of extraordinary hardness and resistance once fully cured without obscuring fine surface detail. It can be diluted with water or Vallejo Airbrush Thinner for airbrush use, and applied undiluted by brush. The colours in the range are matched to common basecoat tones, allowing the primer to serve as both a ground coat and a first layer of colour in a single application.

Technical: Water-based polyurethane. Shake well before use. Apply by brush or airbrush. For airbrush use: 15-20 PSI (0.5-1 kg) with a 0.3mm or larger nozzle. Apply in thin coats and allow each coat to dry fully before applying the next. Thins with water or Vallejo Airbrush Thinner. Cleans up with water. 18ml dropper bottle.
