A Vallejo primer in an ivory shade, the manufacturer's part number 73.643. A light ground under opaque paints and a way of unifying a model's surface.
Responsibility details are not available.
A primer is the coat on which everything else stands. It unifies a surface made up of different materials, gives the paint something to take hold of and above all shows up faults before it is too late: an unsanded joint, the imprint of abrasive paper or a greasy fingerprint are revealed by a single-colored area at once, whereas on a bare model they blend in. They can then be put right without frustration, because the work is still going on beneath the paint.
A light warm ground makes sense everywhere an opaque paint is to follow that holds its brightness only with difficulty by itself: white, yellow, orange, sand and light gray. Over a dark primer such shades turn gray and you have to apply them in a heavy coat, which floods the fine surface detail. Ivory, against a pure white, does not dazzle so much at the same time, so you can judge shape and unevenness better on it.
Wash and degrease the model before application, ideally in lukewarm soapy water, and let it dry out properly. Stir the bottle thoroughly, as the pigment settles at the bottom. Apply in several thin coats; one heavy coat will fill the engraved detail and the rivets. Once dry, look the area over against the light and put right any faults you find, and only then go on with the opaque paint. Thinning, the method of application and the recommended drying time are stated by the manufacturer on the packaging.
The primer alone is supplied. Thinner, paints and tools are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise. Work in a ventilated room and store the bottle closed and out of the reach of children.
