I appreciate the honest review which included what the set is good for. The reviewer's English is excellent.
I just bought one of these from from Amazon. I normally use tamiya rattle cans but have used airbrush in the past. Biggest complaint being I don’t do much painting at all. Occasionally a slot car body or rc car body and from time to time a wooden rc model boat that’s been glassed. So having something that 1. I don’t have $300+ wrapped up in 2. Something I don’t have to drag out a compressor air hose to paint for 10 minutes max. I think this will do perfectly for what I need to do. No it’s not a high end unit nor will it produce show room quality jobs like a pro set up but for lexan bodies and a rc model boat that will see water most it’s life I think it will be amazing.
Did you get one in the end and if so how was it? I only ask as I am looking to get one but with 0previous airbrush experience I do not want to get a full setup as I will be using it in much the same way as yourself - i.e rc lexan shells and the odd model here and there. I’ve only just got into the groove with RC spray paint cans but feel airbrushing allows me to paint more detailed designs on lexan shells that I cant do with paint cans.
@@friktionrc finally what did you do? I'm in the same issue
@@julianmroc3648 I did indeed end up getting one, but not the one referred to in the video. I didn’t want to spend as much money so went for something cheaper because incase I wasn’t good at using it, at least I didn’t waste a lot of money. Sadly I still haven’t used mine partly because of life (work etc etc) but also because I realised I needed to get other stuff as well - e.g. paint thinner, some sort of,liquid mask if you want to do detailed designs on Rc car body shells etc. My advice is if you do decide to get one, put together a shopping list of everything else you may need and then buy, that way everything comes together and you can start straight away. I haven’t used mine yet as explained, but when I do I’ll be testing on say paper, left over plastic bits from my old Rc body shells, empty plastic bottles to get used to it before actually painting the shell itself. CZcams won’t let me share the link to what I bought, but if you head to a certain online rainforest 😉😉😂 you will see something by Auperto who have an Airbrush Set, Rechargeable Cordless Air Compressor with LED Display for Makeup,Tattoos,Cake,Mode Making and DIY(in Black) for just under £40. It’s very similar to others and comes complete with most stuff (so pipette for drawing up paint, airbrush cleaning utensil etc). Good luck if you do decide to go ahead and get an airbrush…just remember take your time and practise lots before going ahead and painting the thing you actually want to paint. Past experience in using spray paints has taught me a bit, but airbrushing is a whole new level lol. Hope this helps.
@@friktionrc Hello, thanks for answering, of course is a big help and sorry for my English (it is not my native language). I agree with everything you say since curiously my case is a bit similar. I have to paint a few Star Wars ships that I bought to decorate my house, I've been watching CZcams videos and I've learned a lot and I've already bought material that I still have in storage too 😂, although is cheap stuff so its fine (tape and masking liquid, primer, matte varnish, etc. I will do many previous tests like you. The plan is to paint those ships this year 😂
Im trying to find a lo price quality airbrush as i have really gotten back into modeling since covid19..all i need is an airbrush and a hot wire. This was a great review, im glad you pointed out that it gets heated up quickly. It would definitely come in handy
Great, detailed review, thank you for sharing! :) Keep it up with the videos! Greetings
thank You...Great review
I was given something similar for Xmas although it is a lower end product than this. For example the airbrush is not as high quality in appearance and there is no charge indicator on the compressor. Also has only one power mode (low).
Came with three different paint cups. It had no dead zone in the trigger. Having experimented in a similar way, it has a far worse performance to the demonstrated version. For example it couldn't come close to the fine line work. However it gave good performance in coverage, laying down a base coat or varnish etc. And to be fair that was the reason I bought it.
As in all things, if you pay a bit more you will (hopefully) get a better product.
perhaps you can use an airtube to seperate the compressor from the brush ( prevent heat, vibration or obstruction) you can even add the filter thingy for condensation.
Great point about the compressor heating up! Never thought of that. I still may invest in one but will remember to take that into consideration! Subbed
You can't overlook that, because there is a piston inside that is constantly moving and generating heat by friction. This means paint in color cup will be drying quicker and moisture from environment will also appear in form of condensate.
Do more videos! your channel great has potential!
Nice review!!!
Very interesting video
Very beautiful
its ok if you have thin enough paint, i use mine to make t-shirts at the flea market, have 3, that way i can have a fresh charged one at all times.
The common old models run by 12v, if you have a LiPo or any other battery around you can turn it cordless yet without the compressor in your hand.
Good idea :)
The first honest review of these cheap airbrushes. You need to thin the paint too much, since they don’t atomize that good. However, attaching an Iwata to that cordless compressor would change everything. That’s what I want to do.
Hi, I really do think it is not worth it. Pairing high quality spray gun with low pressure air source won't make a noticable difference.
@@StaticModel I’d like to give it a try anyway. Some reviewers had luck with that combo. Some portables get close to 35psi that iwata recommends.
@@gokhanersan8561 it's peak psi, constat psi will be 18 or similar.
Hi! How does this compare to the other one with the separate compressor kit?
It's a tool for very specific task, light touchups, make-up. For modeling I'd recommend getting traditional setup. That way you will have more versatile setup.
What brand of color paint you're using?
Tamiya and mr.hoby
Hi. What is the primer and paint that you used in this video please?
Primmer was badger styrylrez, and paint is Tamiya LP range.
For a person who is starting out in this world of airbrushing, do you recommend it? I want it to paint 1/24 scale cars and make them shiny like the bumper you painted black. thank you
Hi, I would honestly not recommend this as 1st airbrush. It is simply to weak. You want bigger and stronger compressor for 1/24 models.
try adaptors to switch out airbrushes
Hey what paint did you use for this red and black?
Tamiya lacquer
I just ordered one, but untill I get it in my hands... I don't understand how it works... like the little aircompressor, where's the air intake?
It sucks in air thru case gaps :)
@@StaticModel Interesting, well thanks! I should have it tomorrow so I can start on my Tamiya R34.
@@caseygtr I've been interested in this hobby for a while, and I'm on the fence about buying one.
How has it worked out for you?
I can see this working much more smoothly with the new Tesla batteries - Time to step up our game people: I'm so excited!!! 👍
These are super cool for the 3D printers out there
Que pinturas usastes?
How do you clean it???
You have to clean only airbrush part of this kit. Airbrush cleaning is covered in my other videos.
Sir What paint did you use for the test?
Tamiya LP anf XF series paint.
hi sorry for my english i use google translate.
it works to paint a model car revell, tamiya....?
Thanks
Not recommended as the first airbrush. Only for small touch ups.
@@StaticModel Thank you for your reply.
I bought a tamiya spray paint, I will try to paint my car, I have never tried I think I will not succeed :( thank you
@@jfm4968 only tip I can give you, is don't spray too much at once and try to move your hand as you spray so paint won't land in single spot too much:)
@@StaticModel ok thank you very much for your help
Many of the cordless airbrush issues come with an airbrush itself. Airbrush clogged easily and doesn't work that well( I tried three different cordless airbrush already)
Did you try to attach a quality airbrush to the cordless compressor. That would make a nice and compact setup.
@gokhanersan8561 after trying an airbrush, came itself, changed to a better airbrush, and it's been working flawlessly ever since. Thanks. ( master airbrush)
@@rszanger Excellent! I already bought a cordless set, and want to try the mini compressor with an iwata. I think the air pressure is strong, but the cheap airbrush does not want to atomize unless the paint is over-thinned.
@@gokhanersan8561 I think I might buy Tamiya airbrush one for backup...iwata is another good airbrush brand.
@gokhanersan8561 one drawback with most of the cordless compressor is that it can't change psi . But it still works well and doesn't get messy or needs a large area to set a normal compressor.
I was excited but the fixed design is a huge NO. If it could be used with a cable it would be great, but having to lift the whole thing constantly, and it getting hot and in the way, are huge issues.
We will have that item soon.
@@riboairbrushmanufacturer3832 That's great!
Could I screw on my other airbrushes?
Yes, but only the same type ones. Sparmax, iwata and clones. And connection would be different, because part of airbrush stays in compressor - you have to unscrew bottom part from your airbrush and than screw airbrush without bottom part on to compressor.
THE NEEDLES, NOZZLES, NOZZLE CAP HAVE NO MARKINGS ON THEM FOR WHAT SIZE THEY ARE..........
Manual.
Hello I just bought this but now they sell it as "oxygen atomizer for beauty" or something like that, I wanted to paint some scratches on my car with it 😅 but I pour some acrylic paint and it was too thick for it, do you think I could mix it with some "solvent" to dilute it? I painted the scratches with a brush but it looks ugly 😅
If you are talking about real car than this is definitely not the way to go. Especially if scratches are deep you won't be able to do a propper touch up job. Because scratch repair requires filling in the scratches and not just painting over. Also brush painting might not be the best way. I'd opt for a special tool which creates paint droplets or a touchup marker - with these tools you are "pooling up" the pain in to scratch and not painting over. Might be something you'd like to look in:) If you still decide to use airbrush you can add thinners to the paint but it must be suitable for the paint type you are using and also multiple layers will be required.
@@StaticModel I'll follow your advice thank you 🙂
Зачем так надрачивать курок?
No, avoid this crap!
