    I got into gunpla earlier this year. Built my first kit and had a big "now what?" moment. I found your video on the Neoeco $40 airbrush and bought it and then bought that air compressor you did a review on around that same time. Your paint tricks and tips have been so helpful to me. For example I had almost stopped using Tamiya paints and then watched a video where you were like "Just use 91% alcohol to the top of the jar and thats it, it's ready to use!" Like those are the kind of tips I love. And your whole "don't worry so much" attitude about cleaning the brush between colors. Love your videos I appreciate the heck out of them!

    A tip for fitting a threaded nozzle. First put in the needle and place the nozzle on the end of it. Draw the needle back slowly till it meets the body. Start to turn it so the threads bite. Pull the needle back so it is safely out of the way and finish tightening it

  • @eroushart
    @eroushart Před měsícem +27

    Great video. I bought your swallowtail when it came out and two weeks ago, like a dummy, was cleaning it over a sink. The trigger screw fell out down the drain and after taking the sink apart, couldn’t find it. I looked everywhere for a replacement screw and reached out Gaahleri directly. They don’t sell this as a replacement part but they actually sent me a replacement screw free of charge! Thanks for all you do!

    • @barbatosrex9473
      @barbatosrex9473  Před měsícem +9

      They have awesome customer service

    • @jasondixon2828
      @jasondixon2828 Před měsícem +3

      That is the main problem with airbrushes like that, lack of replacement parts. That being said, it's awesome that they just sent it out to you. Big brands, Iwata, Harder & Steenbeck sell each and every part as a replacement, however they sell them. Doubt they would just send you a part for free. Definitely a plus.

    • @Eddie-di6eb6cv8v
      @Eddie-di6eb6cv8v Před měsícem +2

      That screw popped off of my swallow tail. Fortunately I found it. It came off twice on me. I had to tighten it the best I could. Hopefully it won’t do so again. 😂

    • @robertthompson6707
      @robertthompson6707 Před měsícem

      So is that a problem with this airbrush? Yours is the third one I've read. I just bought one.

    • @barbatosrex9473

      Hasn't happened to me. I did tighten that screw when I got mine, seems to be holding up

  • @socko47
    @socko47 Před měsícem +3

    I am very impressed with your effort to demonstrate equipment and paints. You have demonstrated your concern about working with quality manufacturers as by the service they have provided to you and your followers. Replacing screws for free, changing bottles to provide lasting storage, and your time and energy to make it happen is a real plus in this day and age when quality service tends to be lacking. And Kudos to you for doing this on your birthday.

  • @guidorea8347
    @guidorea8347 Před měsícem +2

    I bought my first black widow with the trigger gun 3 weeks ago... I might buy another and switch it to the .3mm needle and nozzle and leave it as is.... I have a bunch of model cars to build.... Hope they can handle lacquer paint....🙄 HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBERT!!!!!.... 😁👍

    @samsquatch6238 Před měsícem +3

    Not a bad airbrush. Seems like a decent investment.
    I use a self closing duck bill tweezer to install screw in nozzles.
    Thank you for sharing the nozzle information. I am a beginner with airbrushes and had no idea they made drop in nozzles 😮

    Happy Belated birthday Robert!! Another great review as always. Looks like I am going to see what my local Harbor Freight has hiding amongst their shelves. This airbrush is definately a far cry better than the one i bought years ago.

  • @jackfrost9164

    @thehazmatguy480 Před měsícem +1

    I think this looks like a really nice, affordable air brush. The presentation is fantastic- the case looks great, the black and red interior is great. The black and gold on the air brush looks sharp. Nice air brush for $70!

  • @RobRobRob123
    @RobRobRob123 Před měsícem +1

    Not too shabby, I definately agree about the nozzle. Can be trying at times for sure. I'll admit to having broken one before😅
    Awesome Iron Maiden flask. Somewhere in time is probably one of the best albums ever imho.
    Have a good evening and happy late birthday boss!

      I've been using their "Avanti" airbrush for 2 years now, and it works better and more reliably than my expensive Iwata airbrush. Harbor Freight has really stepped their game up.

  • @fabonline9389
    @fabonline9389 Před měsícem +2

    I personally like the labeling on the nozzle parts. Very easy to see and one of my pet peeves of other manufacturers. The overall look is very cool. Like the black with gold accents. Maybe I'll get one just to paint Halloween decorations.

  • @bobdankiewicz9939
    @bobdankiewicz9939 Před měsícem +1

    Great review, thanks for taking the time and keeping us all informed. I think if the black widow had more "meat" on the palm side of the handle it would help with your grip issue, perhaps an opportunity for someone with a 3d printer. I wish all the airbrush manufacturers would include the containers for the needle & nozzle that's in the airbrush when shipped, so when a user switches from one size to the other they can put the removed size into a properly labeled container.

  • @mikepoindexter9849
    @mikepoindexter9849 Před měsícem +2

    When i am changing nozzles I slide my needle through the brush and slide the nozzle on the needle. Than back the needle out until I can start the nozzle.

  • @reconmodelsvaughn469
    @reconmodelsvaughn469 Před měsícem +1

    I have both the new Black Widow. They have one in 0.2mm & 0.3mm, and the pistol grip that has 0.3mm and 0.5mm. This one has a fan tail. I can tell you they are very good 👍. Not bad, but I would still order a Gaahleri airbrush. Any Gaahleri airbrush is amazing. If you collect airbrushes, you will love the Spectrum airbrushes. I love the big grip. I actually dipped my Gallery Swallowtail in rubber to make it a little bigger. That's my only problem with the Swallowtail; the handle needs to be bigger. It's too small.

  • @theintake8961

    Yea I always drop the nozzle too. My go to now is a Neoeco w/ .3 and it does the job pretty well. Also dedicated.5 imyyds. I wouldn’t mind switching to a trigger brush. Thanks for your videos, your my go to for most modeling tips.

  • @jasondixon2828
    @jasondixon2828 Před měsícem +5

    Screw on nozzles are much more precise than drop in, which is why they are used on all higher end airbrushes, like the gsi you mentioned. Iwata makes a nozzle tool, which, in my opinion, should always be used instead of the wrench. Not only is it much easier to use, but it almost eliminates the chance of snapping the nozzle off. Nozzle changes can be made just about as quickly as the drop in style with the tool. Great video.

    • @clarenceobert5860
      @clarenceobert5860 Před měsícem +3

      I was going to mention this, but you got it. My Iwata CR and my PS-290 have the screw nozzle. I picked up the Iwata tool and it's a total game changer. Virtually eliminates the chance of over tightening the nozzle. I drilled a hole in the opposite end and put it on my keychain that has all my cleaning brushes so I don't misplace it.

    • @danieljanssen4580
      @danieljanssen4580 Před měsícem

      Definitely easier to use the newer drop in nozzles. I’ve used Thayer Chandler air brushes for years which has had the cone style nozzles and they were much easier to use so a comparison between the two brushes would be fun.

    I think I definitely prefer yours in terms of convenience for the nozzle but I do find that the swallow tail tends to "sputter" more for metallics in 0.5 with the fan cap when compared to the screw on nozzle regular AB.
