Would this primer work well on pewter miniatures?

It works on every pewter miniature that I have tried it on shot undiluted from my Iwata airbrush. Artisan, Crusader, Warlord Games and Games Workshop minis have all turned out fine.

What do you use to clean your brush after using this primer?

Windex, (I usually by the cheap off brand stuff) and then I shoot some distilled water through it after the Windex. Be careful using this primer, if you don't prepare the surface, I usually sand with 600 grit sandpaper, this does not stick well to the surface you paint.

Does this primer adhere to photo etched parts?

Yes..the Vallejo Primers work very well. They go on a with a wet look but pull down nice and tight as they dry. I am using a Badger Patriot Airbrush with a 0.3 needle. I use an air pressure between 16 and 20 lbs. I purchased the grey but prefer the Panzer Grey that dries to a black color. Be sure to shake the bottle well before use.

Does this need thinner, and if so, will tamiya thinner work?

I don't think it needs thinner. I've used it as a brush-on application and through my air brush. Not sure about Tamiya thinner. The Vallejo is a water-based acrylic primer.
