UPDATE 15/01/2021 The airbrush I bought is back in stock at £30. Here is the link - amzn.to/2KjsxBP
what airbrush would you all around say is nice but not too expensive? i dont want to have any major drawback just the value pack.
There's a bunch of rebrands of this kit across all EU Amazon sites, and almost all of them nearly doubled in price curiously weeks after your video was uploaded.
I guess that's a good indicator of how much your video blew up man!
Thank you for the info, I will consider one of these as my first airbrush!
sold tf out
Did you have a chance to make the 6-month video follow up on the longevity of this airbrush?
@blackjack legacy can you recommend a good black colour brand to go with this item?
I can confirm this, having started from a very similar kit. It's also very good for learning from your mistakes. I lost parts, broke parts, consumed parts. Very easy to find replacements and also I didn't cry about it since it was so cheap to begin with. The weakest part about this kit is the compressor itself. If the airbrush is used for too long or it's not super clean, the compressor becomes a bit too weak to push paint through consistantly. However I had to buy a more powerful compressor for resin casting in a pressure pot, and that's already a huge upgrade.
I recently got one of these, with a few small differences. There’s a transparent filter in the hose close to where the air brush connects, and the connection is sort of a foam-covered “push-in” vs a threaded metal screw-on. I’ve used mine 5 times, total beginner, seems to work fine when trying to emulate techniques seen online. Only off thing is I noticed a small air leak in the hose-filter area, fixed with a bit of tape.
I got an airbrush/compressor combo for about £100 a while back (mainly for priming and suchlike). It works fine (it has a small tank and the airbrush is pretty much the same £20 you see with all these sets) and with a bit more practice I will add a nicer airbrush next year. Looking forward to trying it on some model kits I bought (German WW2 tanks, Russian jets etc.). This vid is a good encouragement to give the nervous (as I was, to be frank) to have a go with one and realise you don't have to spend £hundreds to get going and develop a feel for using them. Very good that you bought this set to help newbies and actually demonstrated it in use. Another 'reet gud' vid.
I got one of these before seeing your review of it and I have to say I’m impressed with it. Never used an airbrush before so didn’t want to splash out. Used it numerous times now on F1 models but I find the paint really needs to be thinned. But..gives great results and a great finish.
Yeah the paint needs to be really thinner more than you’d expect for all airbrushes
The reason why you can use a double action brush is the following.
The "compressor" is a diaphragm pump. When its on it pumps air through the airbrush. Now if you block the airflow the pump can't pump anymore so all the components get stressed alot. Sooner or later something has to give. So you might blow out the diaphragm eventually.
Diaphragm pumps are quite ingenious with only one moving part they prettymuch last for ever.
Bought one myself several weeks ago, never used an airbrush before but found this set worked a treat. Lots of how to airbrush on the internet and found it very easy to master. Very quiet and only comes on with you press the trigger. Easy to strip down and clean, would definitely recommend to beginners.
Thanks for watching and commenting
From both portable airbrushing videos I see they are a pretty good purchase for casual painter. I will recommend them, very useful videos, thank you!
Excellent stuff Andy. I totally agree, if you just want it for priming, base coats and Varnish, a cheap and cheerful is brilliant for us in "Environmentally challenged" areas. I have a similar one for this sort of work and it's still going strong after 2 years, so I've had my money's worth 😀
Well said and thanks mate.
Thanks for this review, I've been thinking of getting back into the hobby & was looking at this type of kit to help me out.
I bought one of these about 3 years ago and is used weekly 2-3 hours.
Mine is a dual action airbrush that came in the kit.
It has never let me down ( just keep it clean, se other videos on CZcams) and I regularly use fine wet and dry paper and a drill to clean the needle. I have used it on 1/72 aircraft too to paint masked camouflage.
I learnt to airbrush and gained confidence to buy a branded airbrush.
There’s no doubt there’s a marked difference between this brush and a better quality one but this airbrush is definitely worth £30. I now use it for basic coating and varnishes and keep my good brush for fine work.
I also found that using this airbrush with a better compressor also increased the quality of the painting.
Just my two pence! Ian
Bought almost an identical one from china. Been using it for 2 years, would like to upgrade at some point, but a proper compressor just takes up so much space. Only issues I've had were related to me being unable to properly thin the paints. Absolutely worth it as a beginner tool.
I had the same compressor, but it gave up on me after 3 months. The piston, which is a thin rubber sheet broke on me, and I was not able to replace it... But I took the pressure regulator and attached it to a fridge compressor with some zip ties, and it works like a charm! :D
Sounds like an episode of the A-Team! ;)
@@BlackJackLegacy Just some eastern european finesse! :D By the way an old fridge compressor with an oil catcher might be the go to solution if someone is on the budget! :)
@@kecskemici4369 Sure is. I have a compressor made out of a fridge motor and it works great. Found a guide online and built it myself. However the cheap airbrush I used (AirSpirit) gave me headackes and replaced it with an Iwata Eclipse :P
Worlds apart ;)
@@Blueyedevil2702 Thanks for the recommendation, when Ill be a big boy finally, I'll buy one too! :D
I've bought the same kit. I think it is amazing for the price. Only one disadvantage I've noticed. While working the compressor is moving itself due to vibrations but you can easily resolve that problem.
I just bought myself the very same one last week here in Argentina. I'm starting and i find it excelent for a rookie like me. Thanks a lot for the video!
I have a very, very similar airbrush to this, I'm in the US, bought from Amazon it was called The Master's Airbrush, $50 from them. Came with some cleaning brushes, but otherwise, essentially the same package. It works great. My 2nd ed. space hulk genestealers went from taking weeks to about 30 minutes for priming and basecoating 15 of them. I'm a rank beginner when it comes to airbrush use, but this was so easy and such a positive experience. These inexpensive little airbrushes are phenomenal. BlackJack Legacy, you have a new subscriber.
Genuinely surprised by the results you got. Thank you for taking the time to do this and sharing.
You’re welcome. I honestly expected it might be ok for a basic primer but was pleasantly surprised with it. It may not last years but I think it’s perfect to pick up if you’re on the fence about airbrushing and don’t want to spend £150+
Thank you for this video, I have the same one for my Gundam kits and glad I got it for beginner projects. Great video and review!
I've often thought about buying a dirt cheap airbrush purely for two uses - as an air can for use in electronics repair and maintenance, and for touching up paint on other electronics items.
SO I;m glad you did this.
Thank you Andy for your review. I have always hand painted my model kits but wanted to take the plunge with airbrushing. However, it can be quite daunting as where to start and spending £100+ for a first timer is expensive so £30 is not too bad at all especially as I have just bought a 1/48 Tamiya F15 - too big to hand paint ! The main tip that I noticed in the feedback comments is to continue thinning down the paint ! Thanks again and yes, I have one coming in the post ! Cheers !!
I got a very similar kit off eBay just over 12 months ago for doing my custom matchbox and hotwheels cars. This is my first airbrush and for the begginer it's a great idea, after 12 months practice I'm finally getting the grasp of mixing my paints for use in the airbrush ( note I use automotive paints mostly). The results are finally what is like and this runs great for my needs, over the next year I'll be upgrading this to a tanked compressor and better airbrush set but will keep this on hand for small jobs until it dies.
It’s amazing to hear others having the similar experience that I’m having with this cheap kit. Too many folks tell beginners they need to spend £300 to even get started.
Finally a review with real paint application on real figures. Others are just spraying on paper or what not. Thank you!
I've been meaning to buy the exact same model for painting my PVC lightsaber Hilt. After watching your video, I can confidently purchase one. Thanks for an extremely helpful video !!!
Thank for the quick lesson mate, I've been considering an airbrush for some time now and this was just enough to push me over that "edge".
Glad I could help
Outstanding review. Thank you for producing. x from New Zealand.
Great honest review. Perfect for me as I'm just starting out. I'll be ordering one asap.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks, you've tempted me. It's not just about saving money - this kit seems appropriate for someone who's looking for another tool, not another hobby.
100%
if you can undercoat an army you've pretty much justified it for £30
Especially when you can get your main colour down too.
Thank you very much for the video Andy! I was thinking about picking up one as that one from aliexpress but lot of money to spend these days and without a job I had to pospone it. Maybe when I sell something I will jump to it. I'm glad the results are great with it 💪😁
Thanks. It’s early days and only more use will see how it holds up but so far so good and for that price it’s worth me buying to use and review.
I’m seriously thinking of buying an airbrush now - thanks for the info.
You’re welcome.
just dont buy the revell set with compressor. i tried it and it is total crap and the hose you get with it is absolute shite
I’ve got this airbrush, and it’s never failed me. It not the greatest in the world, but it puts paint where I want it to.
Thanks for this Andy. As someone who is a mediocre painter, this would be perfect for me for undercoating and basecoating.
Sometimes you just need something that works rather than spending much more on bits you’ll never need.
As a 15 year experienced painter i can absolutely 💯 percent vetify this statment to be bold and very very true
Excellent video my friend. I have never used an airbrush as I have been a bit doubtful about my likely ability! However, at this sort of price I may well go for it.
Thanks for.the excellent vid. Just bought one and was going to test today!
I’ve had mine for a couple years now and have painted three armys with it its pretty good but super loud!
That sounds pretty good. Im only just starting out on miniature painting but already doing quite well I think and loving it so might get one of these
It looks like the popularity of this video is pushing up prices on Amazon so may be worth looking on places like eBay too 👍🏼
Awesome! Thank you very much for this video mate!
Great idea mate, I've had mine over a year now and between the tank and a better airbrush have probably spent about 4 times that and so far I've only used it for undercoating and zenithal highlighting.
I know it’s early days with this one but I really do very little more than I showed in the video and this works fine.
I bought the white version, and although the airbrush is really worth the price, the compressor broke after less than 10 usages. It was not able to keep the air pressure. Maybe i was unlucky but i then returned everything and bought a better compressor.
Thanks for sharing your experience which is in line with mine.
I have the same model under a different name. That model is built by a generic company and sold under a bunch of different brands. I've had mine for about 3 years now and it works fairly well. The compressor runs as well as it did on the first day. The brush isn't terrible for the price.
i just bought this as my first airbrushkit, and by coincidence stumbled on this vid tody
Very interesting stuff. Airbrushes are one part of the hobby I've not gotten into because it just looks so involving sometimes 😂 But lots of people are always saying to go with the expensive options so this was refreshing. I'm going to have to pull the trigger at some stage!
There are a lot of CZcamsrs extolling the virtues of Harder & Steenbeck or Iwata (and £/$250 compressors). You really don't have to start with them, like you don't need to buy expensive sable brushes on your first day hobbying. An airbrush can feel quite alien at first, but once you start trying one you will enjoy the experience. Pull that trigger!
Lol @ the background music. It's good, so good i recognize it from so many rust videos.
Excellent video thank you so much.
Looking to enter as a hobbyist by painting some MacFarlane Primaris Marines and every video has recommended using an airbrush.
I think I'll try the starter kit 🙏🏼
I bought a set from CDON, mine was a bit more expensive, but it had 3 different airbrushes.
Also, I bought a second one, a dual-action airbrush. Use it to paint GUNDAM/GUNPLA models.
Works flawless, so now I started to test it out on other stuff. I'm currently trying to paint my Casio wrist watch, trying out different colors.
I managed to re-paint one panel of my PS4.
Also, it is very important to clean your paintbrush after use, also when changing colors.
No, I do not have tank on my compressor, but it works good.
Took the leap based on this video, just finished mt first test coats with it. Cheers for all the advice.
Hi, which version did you buy? Keen to give this a try while I start out
That looks a great bit of kit.someone like me who wants to get in to airbrushing is ideal.
Same here Mark I just got mine yesterday, and my paint is supposed to be here today. Yay! can't wait to try mine out.
Impressed, but I did raise an eyebrow at the amount of mould lines left on the minis ;)
Haha these were just board games minis - mould lines don’t worry me so much. Maybe this will help teespring.com/en-GB/blackjack-legacy-mouldlines_2?pid=389&cid=100019 😉
well... I'll be buying one of these. I only want an indoor prime and maybe a zenithal, but having used airbrushes for my art in the distant past, I honestly didn't think this option would even be good enough for that.
You've proved that wrong nicely, and I appreciate it.
Airbrush ordered.
I had always written these off as an option too but decided to spend my money and find out - if they’d been awful I’d have had a good video to make sure people didn’t buy one and if they were good then it would be good to recommend them as a basic priming tool. It turned out better than I expected !
This is great, got one for Christmas from a friend. Great starter kit.
It really is!
I just bought a £50 dual action airbrush for precisely what this review is about and (despite it being my first experience with an airbrush) I'm really happy with what I got and feel like it's going to massively help with priming my bloodbowl teams.
Brilliant, I nearly died when you said “the hair drier I use”.
I started with a very similar setup (Black Box Compressor, cheap airbrush), so I’m gonna leave my review.
The airbrush itself works great. The trigger is a little odd for working over a period of time for the hand and something I upgraded to more of a gun style trigger early on.
You would actually adjust the air flow for this airbrush by adjusting the pressure off the compressor, which without a gauge is something you’d have to estimate, and something that I had trouble with mine for reasons below.
So. The Black Box.
For my own (different model than the one you have), I found that it didn’t build much pressure, and when it did it never sustained it for more than a second. I would crank it up and listen for leaks, but never heard any. Which made priming a full unit of models harder to do.
The advantage of a tank is that you will never have similar dips in the pressure, as the compressor/tank/regulator will maintain that.
My Verdict: If you paint 1-2 models at a time and/or you’re really new to this as a hobby, this might be a good deal or good Christmas gift. If you consider yourself in the hobby, look at spending the money to upgrade to a decent compressor.
Thanks for the review. To be honest comparing this to what I already use (compressor with tank and H&S airbrush) if this lasts ok I’m not sure most would actually need to upgrade. It does everything I use mine for and is not 9 times worse but does cost 9 times less.
Great video Andy, as a newbie, I bought a similar kit, different box compressor with 3 pressure settings. I takes some targeting practice as you're not contacting the target piece with a physical brush. But guestimating where to aim.
I did get some wet splodges that blew surface paint over edge borders. But I Guess that's too much paint. (It was some old acrylic that had gone stodgy so I thinned with water quite a bit to get it smooth with slight gloop)
Is it ok to thin acrylic with alcohol/spirit for faster evaporation drying?
Overall pleased with my 1st attempt. Had better, more even coverage than brushing, so I'll practice a lot more.
Wow I really love the way you display your paints on the shelves. There I was thinking I need one of those fancy MDF paint stations.
Thanks. These are MDF racks but they’re really cheap
@@BlackJackLegacy well you had me fooled! They look like normal "minimalist" shelving to me which is a nice change. Very nicely organised as well.
They’re mdf but painted white by me 😉
I just purchased one similar, it has a moisture trap on it too.
Very helpful video. Thanks!
I've never played Warhammer or even painted minis before but this inspires me to do airbrush painting anyways! 10/10
This does appear to be the answer for priming especially in the Winter months. Thanks very much Andy, I think I may dip my toe in the air brush water so to speak. :>)
thanks to you, this thing is consistently sold out, so thanks for telling the world about a great product.. thanks.
yeap i have one, heaven used it to restore a complete couch with leather paint, not bad for occasional work
Just the video I needed, thanks! I was eyeballing same type of (probably all are done in the same factory in China, and rebranded) one of those is Gocheer with new 30 PSI updated compressor.
Other is Master airbrush kits, they have wide variety of kits with 2-3 airbrushes ( siphon feed+ 2 gravity feed etc)
Recently got into 3d printing, looking forward to paint my own character 3d prints which will eventually be around 20-30 cm.
I was also wondering if I could simply use brushes to do the whole thing ( I am an art grad) or perhaps spray cans for primers, or do I need an airbrush , even a cheap one.
Last thing: I am so lazy about colors changing process in airbrush, I wonder if siphon feed or side feed could be my answer? I saw they simply clean the brush with a spray of alcohol to the paint reservoir and that's it! 20 sec..
Thanks again!
thank you!! extremely helpful! I am a beginner, never used an airbrush before. so this was highly informative and helpful! I recently began redesigning Monster High dolls, so I needed an airbrush. Subscribing!!:)
I used one of these as a beginner kit, but, after a few hours use, it died. I took it apart, fixed it, used it for another 20 mins and it died again. In the instructions mine had a “do not exceed 30 minutes use at a time” I found that this was due to heat build up. Even with the single action connector and “ventilation” (I put holes in the plastic casing and fitted a pc fan) the usage time got shorter and shorter. I’ve since swapped to a much larger (but still small) compressor with a small tank, pressure regulator and gauge , air dryer, and a better double action brush. Still relatively cheap gear compared to what I’ve seen but I only manage 2-3 1:60 scale Gundam models a year.
I bought one like this about 4 years ago to weather model railway locos and stock .i have done over 80 locos and 100 pieces of stock of my own plus 35 of a friends stock.i replaced the airbrush a year ago but it only needed a jet and needle so i now have 2 lol.it only cuts in when in use so not irritating in a small room .i would recomend .i still use mine and it works great .the key with any airbrush is clean it well and regularly .
Thanks for sharing, Great to hear from others who've had good experiences with these airbrush and compressors too.
Been looking into airbrushes for a while for doing weathering and detailing on scale RC accessories and such, this seems to fit the bill quite nicely actually, because I am very limited on space, so a big compressor and tank isn't an option.
Love this video was looking at an airbrush for priming. Cant wait to see the hand held one.
It’s live now mate!
@@BlackJackLegacy thanks man just watched it. I found it very informative. Keep up the good work
Thanks buddy!
I bought one of these for £40 and after 2 days the trigger fell out and the compressor was only putting out 7psi. I ended up buying a comp. with a seperate tank (£90) and a mid range airbrush (Harder and Steenbeck £75). Now getting really good results. I repaired the cheap a/brush and just use it for block painting. For more detailed work i would suggest paying that bit extra. Good vid.
I have a more expensive unit too and it’s great. Can I ask if you converted the airbrush to single action or did you leave it as dual action?
Got nearly the same, Always was annoyed of his Loud sound but still was enough to make the first steps into Air brushing.
Since you can make Highlights of high energy weapons/ Prime / bigger Models first Coats and Energy Swords.
After 1 Year and still practicte the Hobby i bought a new one around 115€ cuz of the Sound but the old one still worked fine
WOW, thanks so much. Don't have one, but researching and your video makes the most sense. Question: Do I have to clean the brush every time I want to do a color change? Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!
You’re welcome. I tend to just run water through it to flush it out and then come in with the new colour. I only give it a full clean once I’m done for the day.
Just picked up one of these bad boys! Testing tonight :)
i bought it from china 2 months ago working very well , spares , full kit .
i brought mine for £50 of Amazon GANZTON 19B Mini Airbrush Compressor set, works perfect pretty much the same as this one ,i painted THE MASK - JIM CAREY and turned out really good for a cheap airbrush with cheap paint too.
Very helpful, thank you.
I second this compressor kit. Not had a problem yet
Glad to hear its been great for you too.
I bought the exact same one last year, l've been able to get some surprisingly amazing results on model work and standard artwork. I use it quite often so its lasted a while. Great review.
Thanks.
Same, I bought one 2 years ago and I still have it, I built an air buffer with a plastic bottle for it.
I have that one, with some small modification its very good for the money!
Glad to hear you're enoying using it.
Such a good vid for someone who is air brush curious :)
Why does “airbrush curious” sound so wrong? 😂😂
Great video as ever. I have one of the budget ones with compressor and everything. My main problem is never using it due to faff, I like the idea of something a bit more simple...not ready to take the plunge yet though!
Cheers mate. I honestly dont think theres much faff with an airbrush. If you thin the paint enough it doesnt clog up and takes little cleaning when you're done.
@@BlackJackLegacy I think part of my faff was 2 fold.
Space - be it a booth or somewhere sensible to spray, and I am so short on space that having it in this little room is a problem in itself (that would be lessened with this one)
Paint - I should have just used airbrush paint, trying to mix normal paint and get the right thiness is a pain, though never had clogging issues, just was difficult to be so consistent.
I will probably revisit it at some point
Even using airbrush paint you still need to thin it generally. It’s never really good enough to use as it is. I thin down the airbrush primer but you soon get a feel for what works. I sometimes mix a small amount up of he right viscosity in a dropper bottle if it’s for a bigger project. It’s the same as thinning paint to paint minis with a brush to be honest.
@@BlackJackLegacy Yeah, I did try some airbrush paint and was a bit better to get right texture.
I've had one for a couple of years now and it's great. I do all sorts of airbrush work with it
Great video mate, I just bought a H&S and compressor but I'm a bit timid with it so maybe a cheap brush to learn basics on is a decent idea.
If you already have one mate just use it. There nothing to fear. Check out my Airbrushing for Beginners series here :- czcams.com/play/PLB7JvTrTY35evUGuJEv2JiI5G292YX688.html
@@BlackJackLegacy need to get over the new £250 factor and just treat it like a tool!
Exactly 👊🏼
I bought the same one for 32 euro and use it now for around 4 months now i am starting with Warhammer and must say it was worth it to buy.... have fun and take care all.
Great to hear you’re finding it useful. 👍🏼
I bought this exact same model last autumn. As a starter I wasn't going to spend 100+ on something I never tried before. I have to say it works really well. So far I have only used it for zenithals and some basecoating. Want to get into some more advanced areas soon. Thanks for this review. It solidifies my confidence in my airbrush. Now to get me some thinner and inks...
You also surprised me with the dual action hose connector. That was not mentioned in the docs. I'll go and check it out which one I have on it. What difference does it make?
If the air is blocked off with the dual action connector and the compressor runs making air it has no where to go. The compressor has no auto cut off so eventually it will put back pressure on the diaphragm and potentially burn it out. I think this is why some people say it breaks quickly.
@@BlackJackLegacy Is the DA connector the one with the pin that springs back? Thanks for the info. I always turn it off when I'm during spraying so I haven't had that issue yet :)
Yeah the one with the spring back pin is the Dual Action part. This allows you to control air flow.
Excellent, ive been toying with getting a Airbrush for priming and basecoating for last few months but have been a bit reluctant to splash out (especially still being on furlough) ill deffo be picking one up at end of month. Thanks for the really helpful video👍
Thanks Sid. I know loads of people will look at these and automatically dismiss them so I thought I’d buy one to compare and see if you really do need to spend £120+ for basic priming. It seems you don’t!
I got one just befor Christmas from Amazon £53 and came with different needles and lots of useful accessories. Worth every penny
@@matrix3dprinting812 Me too! Unfortunately not had much success with mine. I think its more user error, than something wrong with the actual product tho
What kind of issues are you getting? I may be able to help.
@@xid1980x I think alot has to do with transportation aswell I can't see it surviving a bash
Bought the slightly more expensive kit after watching this video. Great review and have subscribed
Its never worked for me.
Great video thanks. Not researched much into it yet so this came at a good time. Can you tell me what I would also need to buy in addition to this to get started in terms of setup etc? Been back in the hobby since July and already gone through 5 rattle cans (bought one Army Painter black instead of citadel once to save money and wouldn’t recommend!).
Really all you need is something to thin the paint (airbrush thinners or even just water) and you’ll need airbrush primer paint but it’s not expensive and lasts forever vs spray cans. You’ll need to clean it too but again you can do it with water but some kind of cleaner is worthwhile. Check on CZcams as there’s lots of household items you can use (like pledge floor polish) rather than specific branded cleaners and thinners.
Appreciate the honesty
Thanks for the review, I’ve shied away from buying a top of the range kit for at least 5 times the price I have 6mm Austrians and Prussians to paint.
Also 10mm Austrians and Prussians
Then 18mm British and French
All SYW
Then 1940 British and German
They all need priming, the WWII a lot more paint on vehicles
Ideal for me!!!
Really great review video! Could you tell me the name of your sound meter app?
Thanks! The app is “dB Meter”. It was a free app.
the cheap amazon airbrushes such as the master brand is actually not bad and can be improved a ton and made to have comparable quality by just polishing the needle with some high grit wet sand paper and polishing compound
Yeah I’ve seen videos recommending that. Not done it myself yet but might well do.
Bought it for cake decorating, trying it for the first time today, after watching this of course.
fantastic video, on the list for xmas along with the primer. Do I need medium for my paints (army painter mainly) or just water them down?
Thanks mate. I use Vallejo airbrush thinner but you can use water too. Check out this video for more details. czcams.com/video/oNVOr-cOJDM/video.html
@@BlackJackLegacy Thanks Andy will check it out again
Very interesting indeed, this has really got me thinking mate, cuz I am having trouble priming all my new Necrons in this weather and this looks perfect
I’ve had an airbrush for years and always use it but I thought there’s a real need for something cheap just for priming in the winter for folks who don’t have one or don’t want to spend over £100 for just priming. This seems to do just that job and a little more too.
You can look an marketplace for those makeup airbrushes and find them as cheap as $20. This is the same thing as this. For primer, base and even top on scales like 1/25 the parched h is just as good as anything for those tasks.
I been using one of these cheap airbrushes for 3 years and I didn't encounter any problems. Mine is a double action airbrush and come with that same compresor in white color and with some accessories and more needles. I was very pleased with mine but I never tried an expensive one so I couldn't compare. Some day I will buy a good one, maybe. For now I don't really need it but... What would you recommend to upgrade one of these cheap sets? Maybe first buy a good compresor and try it with my double action cheap airbrush and buy a good airbrush later?
I totally recommend these cheap airbrushes for basic applications like those on the video.
Thank you so much for this review. I have since found the same one on Amazon, not the one in the affiliate link and ordered one. May I ask if Vallejo thinner can be used as a cleaner if all I plan to use is acrylic paints?
Glad it was helpful! I use airbrush cleaner however I've been told you can use windex (the window cleaner) to clean an airbrush too.
I want to buy an airbrush for painting my 3d printed models and figurines but I can't decide if I should buy a cheaper one to start and practice before buying a decent airbrush or just buy a really neat "starter kit" with 3 airbrush and compressor from amazon (Master Airbrush CoolRunner II Dual Fan Air Compressor) having no idea how this even work. I have no problem with expending money in a better one but I don't want to buy something to complex for my non existing skills for airbrushing. Do you think I should start with one of this first?
I've never used one of those tiny compressors but I bought a cheap Chinese dual-action airbrush for about 15 quid just to play around with.
4 years later I'm still using it! Sometimes you get pretty good value.
Good on you for showing this unit for those low budget modellers like me 😊
Thanks Gerry
good review, thank you. I'm just getting into air brushing for plastic kits (Airfix). wondering if it will be fine with Humbrol enamels please?
Good to know, I have 3 airbrushes but only the pen are much more expensive. So this could be a nice backup for emergency situations ^^
Its also a great portable solution too for terrain projects in the garage etc.
Nice review mate!
Thanks a ton! Glad you enjoyed it.
