Well done Gaahleri on putting out some nice products 👏 👍, Thank you very much Barbatos for constantly keeping us well informed with new products and thoroughly entertained its very much appreciated. Everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😜🤪
Thank you so much
Got the $39 one from Prime Day. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks Robert for the tip.
@kimijonghighball9626 I have been using mine for almost 3 months and works just as well as both of my $120 Iwata siphon and gravity feed airbrush. Hope you have as much success and enjoyment as I have had.
I've been shopping online for a 0.5mm AB for primer and this popped up at the right time. With the Barbatos Rex seal of approval, and that discount code, this was an instant buy. Thank you Barbados Rex! You are making my first steps into painting my Gundam smooth!
@barbatosrex
From my understanding the Gaahleri airbrushes are unique since they have the “8 channel” Quick self centering nozzle.
My questions:
Do other similar airbrushes have a “quick self centering nozzle"?
What makes Ghac 98D superior to the Ghad 39? The only physical difference? At first glance is…
Needle: Ghac 98D has a 0.38 needle vs Ghad 0.35 needle
Needle: Ghac 98D has a Flexible needle (only mentioned in Ghac 65 and up) vs Ghad 0.35 no mention of a flexible needle. Please confirm other models like Ghad-68 and down comes with flexible needle?
Ghac 98D has Mirror fixed cup vs Ghad 39 Non mirror removeable cup. I’m assuming this makes cleaning easier?
Aside from needle sizes, “flexible needles” and mirror cup what makes Ghac 98D superior to the Ghad 39? Does Ghac 98D atomize the paint better due to the “flexible needle” and needle sizes? What am I missing?
WOW, I will absolutely be checking this company out. The added features really seem like this company has put thought and effort in. Can’t wait to see more of their stuff, thanks as always for your extremely thorough reviews!
Thank you so much
Thhanks for showing these guys and great testing and I got to say the are priced well to each other to to everrone else!
It's amazing that they've prebuffed the cups. I used some jewelers rouge and a canvas buffer on the inside of my neo cups which really cuts down on how much work goes into cleaning
Have you tried our airbrush?
It's always nice to have more choices. I'm using those swabs you mentioned. They work great for cleaning!
I ordered the Advanced Model GHAD-39, one for the great budget price and the two needle, two cup sizes. I needed a good primer brush and I think this is the one. Thanks again for all your work putting out these very information filled videos.
thanks for supporting
Good looking airbrushes. I’ll definitely be checking out the top of of the line units. Looking forward to the trigger model too.
Thank you for another great episode. I’ve started to paint a truck kit currently. You make airbrushing look SO easy. Ugh I have a inexpensive airbrush I ordered off line and I’m having a lot of trouble with it. Thank you for all the great content you put out.
discount code is 203X7WXC
Depending on how cheap you went, I would absolutely recommend looking into something better, you don't have to spend $100+ but an okay $30-60 airbrush makes a world of difference. Sometimes you get lucky with the cheap stuff, but their QC is so low effort it might take 4 or 5 tries, and that assumes you know airbrush well enough to tell that it's the brush, and not you after only a few seconds of use.
My first dual action airbrush was a cheapie unit from an art store. I had nothing but trouble with it and almost gave up on airbrushing. The GSI moel that he uses a lot is great and not that expensive. I use mine all the time and am glad I stuck with airbrushing.
Thanks for all your hard work. Great product I am in the middle of testing my ace out now. Sharing the discount with you
You're welcome my friend. You guys are the best out there
Awesome review. I'm gonna have to get one to compliment my new badger renegade velocity! Can't wait for the paint review.
I've been using the Creos series PS-289 and PS-270 (love them) but I did use the discount code through your link and grabbed the Gaahleri ACE for $100. This is a fantastic airbrush at a fantastic price and is fast becoming my favorite. Love your reviews, keep up the great work.
I wondering compared to your creos series, what do you think of our ace series
As a designer, I really appreciate the box design. These airbrushes really seem to be good quality for the price. One thing to note, though. I have a similar airbrush with the "chambers" they can sometimes clog, and even when one of them is glogged, the airbrush won't spray properly, so that's something to look out for.
Thank you very much !
Great review. I was looking for more information about the GHAD 39 that I just bought and after watching your review I couldn't be happier with my purchase. You do a great job going thru the product. Can't wait to start painting!! Thanks!!
Great purchase my friend. It's an awesome airbrush
So how do you like it after 9 months?
Thank you for your review I surely gonna look at that since I try to start with airbrushing, it's always helpful.
Awesome review! Thanks for giving us all of the info on this one. I was looking for a good airbrush with a larger needle for bigger projects. After watching your review, I've ordered one myself so I can give it a shot. Thanks again for all you do!
Thank you for your support!
Thanks for posting this! I wrecked my 15 year old iwata HP-CS by overtightening the nozzle, and was shopping for replacement parts when I came across your video. It was a better deal to purchase a new Gaahleri brush. I needed a good cost effective .5 airbrush for priming and this one suits my needs perfectly. I still want to fix that iwata because I hate having broken things lying around, but couldn't justify the expense when something of this quality could be had for $40.
Great review Rex. I'm currently using a 40$ no name brand from amazon as my first airbrush. Seeing how well these throw paint I'm might just have to throw down on one of these. Like you said that ace looks pretty sweet.
Just had mine arrive here in the UK. I’ve gone for the advanced and it feels like a solid piece of kit. Looking forward to giving it a try. Love your videos keep up the great work.
Good luck buddy, let me know when you try it out
Just ordered mine. Will be here Thursday , can’t wait to test it out. I got a couple semi kits I need to prime.
thanks for supporting
I’m looking to get into painting my gunpla and i have decided to get the Fortress you did a video on. So many airbrushes though it’s hard to decide what to go with! I’m very new to your content but every video is 10\10.
gsi creo ps 289 (.3 needle) is really good and usually found under 100.
Brilliant! I have the ‘trigger’ handle version (GHAD 068) which cost about £69 shipped to England so very good price and it’s so easy, comfortable and successful to use!! They even said thank you when I posted my review…….such a lovely company!!
Bob
England.
Great company and great airbrush
thank you so much Bob!
They look fantastic!
Good review
I just ordered one of their kits with the air compressor, from Amazon. Comes with 3 air brushes. This is my first air brush, so we'll see how quickly I can learn to use it.
Have a great day and thanks for supporting us!
@@gaahleristudio Do you guys sell a quick connect, or if not will another brand's adapter work?
Love the videos. Can I suggest a video, airbrush lacquer from hardware store or Decant spray clears to airbrush. I have not seen any videos on that. Trying to find cheap clears to airbrush with.
The GHAC-98 Dual sprays VERY NICE! I used my GSI Creos PS-289 needle chuck though because I always disassemble my airbrushes prior to first use to clean and lube. Their needle chuck needs improvement. Does seem to like the paint a little thinner than my PS-289, yet seems to reduce orange peel. Very happy with this airbrush.
Awesome, great to hear. These are very good airbrushes
Sounds like quality brush at a great price! I'm in the market for a quiet compressor for the office. I'll wait to see if you test theirs before I pull the trigger on the Amazon one you recommended.
I now use Fast Orange for cleaning off my hands, thanks to your recommendation! Love it!
One of my best purchases. Great stuff 👍
Well worked airbrushes 🙌 great review 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much!
I've been looking for a decent sub $100 pistol grip airbrush. I ordered theirs and have been pleased so far. With my current setup, I'm getting the best results with the .5 needle.
Thank you very much for your support. We hope you enjoy our product and we look forward to your positive review. Thank you！
Once again thank you. Looks like all be buying another airbrush in the future
Very nice! It seemed like the Ace really liked the primer, maybe more than the paint. They've really done the work to lay out some nice brushes and do some innovating in the process. I don't know why I didn't think of polishing the inside of my cups! I really wish they had sent you their trigger airbrush, as that would be up my ally. It looks good and uses some of the Ace and the Premium parts and has the eight channel tip. Well hopefully they'll send one your way and you can do some testing on that one.
I would be careful trying to polish yourself. I tried on one of my cheap brushes and the plating was so thin, first round with 2400 micro mesh removed the whole layer in some spots
@@TheAlexdodd Thanks for the heads up!
Those look like some decent airbrushes. Might have to look into getting one.

Thankyou robert for all of your help
Anytime Henry
Hey Robert is there anyway that you said you had alot of extra stuff and you said you would send to to me anything would be well appreciated and I left my email few time cause I don't no computers well sorry about that but just starting out and anything would be very grateful sir thanks Henry
@@henrybrown1333 send me your address to my email
Triggerfish65@gmail.com
great show! been looking for low budget, just ordered the $39
thank you
thank you so much!
Great review! I can't believe that gun sprayed Model Air at 15 psi straight out of the bottle as well as it did!! I usually have to thin it with 2-3 drops of the Vallejo thinner and then crank the PSI to 20+ (on a 0.5 needle) just to get it to spray properly. Gaahleri has done their homework and produced an airbrush I would have made (if I had the money), which means I'll be purchasing two of the Ace models so I don't have to switch needles. Thanks again!
For the record, I did put a few drops of Flow Improver in the Model Air
Just ordered the Ace using your promo code and the Amazon coupon. Got $30.00 off. No brainer. Thanks for showing us this product!
thank you for your support!
Great video. If I needed a new airbrush I’d consider it. But I already have my Neo for iwata, patriot 105, GSI creos ps289 and the cheap red one you did a video on and I haven’t even used the ps289 yet. 😅 I don’t paint enough kits or room for finished kits, to have that many airbrushes. I’ve only Just got rid of the all the cheap $20 ones I had lying around in various states of disrepair. But I’ve saved the video so when I do want a new one (it’s inevitable) I can go look up the link easily
I just ordered the pistol grip, gihad-68. I’ll be picking up more of these.
That's some impressive quality and performance for the price point. At first I was perplexed that a .02 needle set isn't included nor available. I typically spray paint at 12-15 psi with the smaller needle set in my Iwata HP-CS and use my Badger Patriot with a .03 needle set at 25-30 psi for primer. I'm really impressed that the ACE model will get such fine lines with no spatter using the .38 tip. Pure speculation here, but it seems from a design point, these guys have maybe cracked the code on removing air turbulence at the needle. I know by removing the tip guard from my Iwata, I can get finer lines. So it appears that the tip guard actually introduces air turbulence, which affects how fine a line you can get. I'm not currently in the market for a new airbrush, but I'll definitely be telling folks about this. I'm impressed.
Actually, the concentricity of the needle nozzle plays a major role in determining the fineness of the line, not just the diameter of the needle. The design of the air passage is mainly aimed at achieving a more uniform atomization effect. Our design aims to make this airbrush suitable for more scenarios, and after years of research, we have overcome the problem of maintaining concentricity with a quick self-centering drop-in nozle structure, resulting in very small production tolerances and lower pricing for mass production. If you have any other questions, feel free to email us!
Great review, nice airbrush’s. Thanks
lol I just bought a Master Airbrush G233 set. It seems ok, needs a bit of fine tuning, but this seems like there is better engineering behind it.
Just got mine. Took it apart and had big problem with fitting the lever guide. Wow that little part is finicky…
Hope it sprays as good the say ☺️
Sold!!love it....great vid...question...I been trying to get the airbrush stand that you use with no luck...perhaps you can point me to the right direction to get them...thanks in advance...👌👌👌
You sold me on the Ace. Used your link and your code 🤙
Looking at the box, it seems like the supreme is their top model. Hope you get to review that too!
Nice review. Definitely on my “to buy” list.👍👍
code is 203X7WXC
Thanks for the review.
I'd be interested in how well the Advanced model would apply a metal flake/metallic finish.
I am currently saving to get a PS-289 but by seeing ACE model, it really puts me in thoughts. Once more, great video Robert :) I hope it can work well with battery compressor. Unfortunately I can not go for the classic ones. It would be nice if you could talk about how they act versus your PS-289 and PS-290.
I'll be testing it later today on the battery compressor, so look out for that later this afternoon
I just bought the lower price one to try it out thanks for the video 👍👍👍
Looks pretty good, just ordered the 98d
thanks for supporting us!
Your badger has the multiple air channels also. They are in the housing right in front of that single hole you showed. That hole is the air passage from the air check valve at the base of the body to the tip of the brush. The air comes out that hole into the nozzel housing and spreads out through the housing, then comes out the evenly spaced holes around that housing to spray around the nozzel tip abd needle.
Still these look like nice brushes. But i can't let you misrepresent my badgers 😂😅😂😅
Thank you for sharing.
I´m currently on a tight budget, so I bought the cheaper one; it just arrived today and it´s indeed quite awesome. I compared it to other quite similar cheap airbrushes, and while yeah similar, the measures are a bit different, and ofc, the drop off nozzle is quite different. Only downside is that the needles that came with it needed a good polish though.
The discount code is 203X7WXC
Well, I happened to be thinking about a new airbrush, and I'm on a budget, so I've got an Advanced on order! Looking forward to giving it a go.
Thank you very much for your support. We hope you enjoy our product ！
Nice looking airbrushes, I've been thinking about getting another one, not that I need another one but you know how it goes
Great product & review! At what point do we cross from hobbyist to fanatic with owned airbrushes? hahaha
They have a trigger style airbrush that I am now considering picking up based on these reviews. It seems to have comparable features to the medium quality airbrush you tested today.
code is 203X7WXC
I'll be testing that one too but it should be great like these. Use this link to purchase it and use the code below

I just ordered the cheaper one as well it looks like it will do me for now I also got the NEDECO that you did a review on got to tell ya it’s a great little airbrush and enjoying it this one looks like a better quality I am only new to the hobby and have a lot to learn your videos help me a lot keep doing a great job 👍😁👍🇳🇿
So what one do you like better? I’m on disability after taking a nasty 2 story fall off some scaffolding at work, so to pass some time I took up WW2 modeling now I’m looking to upgrade my harbor freight airbrush brush lol it was something to learn on and see if like doing models and now I love it 👍🏻
Another top-notch review! Dumb question from a newbie... what's the benefit of spraying at a lower PSI?
First off, thanks for this review. I am happy to see new companies entering the market. I must be missing something though. For $120 you can pick up a Harder & Steenbeck Ultra, an Iwata Revolution, a Badger 105, a GSI 289, or many other name brand airbrushes. Other than the Chrome cup, which is nice, I don't see what would make me choose this airbrush over any of those. You are basically spending name brand money for a company that has no brand recognition, currently offers no replacement parts, and has pretty much one detailed review. I took a look at the $40 offering, and it looks almost identical to a $30 Timbertech set I own. Is the 8 channel MAC nozzle worth a 25% premium? Don't get me wrong, I hope this company can hang in there for the long haul, but right now it doesn't make much sense for me to buy one of these brushes unless they are heavily discounted.
Ended up ordering a GHAD-39. I'm still a beginner with the airbrush so I didn't want to go crazy with spending just encase I give it up( don't think I will though). Though I'll probably be ordering sometime next year the ace or swallowtail from them, when I start upgrading my setup
Great review. You convinced me to get the Ace.
thank you for your support!
Great video as usual! Sounds like a promising new brand! Will you be reviewing the trigger version they offer? Will the discount code apply to that model as well?
I'll be reviewing it. The code should work but don't hold me to it
Great review. Considering a second airbrush with a discount like that.
discount code is 203X7WXC
Just ordered the ACE on Amazon with the discount code. Thanks
Great choice
Ohhh I like that nozzle idea! Pretty basic concept and I wonder why everyone doesn’t have multiple ports for even airflow.
It's a shame the Ace doesn't come with the crown cap the Premium does. Wondering how these compare to the Badger Patriot since they seem perpetually out of stock.
I was looking at an Iwata Eclipse, but for the price (especially with that 20%) i just ordered one of these instead!
Excellent review and awesome content as always! Thank you sincerely! If you don't mind my asking, how do you think the $80ish model compares to the Iwata Neo?
Been shopping around for my Nephew's first airbrush for his tutelage, and was pretty set now, but this has me tempted lol. They both definitely seem like great gear to use. Haven't used the Iwata's myself (used others mostly) but have obviously always heard great reports.
Thanks again for all of your work and time! Have a good one!
Iwata has always been our learning goal, but as for the Neo airbrush, we humbly believe that our 98D model has the potential to surpass it.
Get this over the Neo. I personally don't like the Neo line at all. This blows the Neo away as far as I'm concerned. I owned a Neo and it was my most disliked airbrush so far
@@barbatosrex9473 Thank you for your reply and the info! Sincerely appreciate it and the input. Very good to know. It's definitely looking like one of these now. Thanks again!
You might have covered this in a previous video but wondering where you get the quick connect airbrush stands?
I own the ghad 39, the ghad 68, the ghac 98d, and the new swallowtail barbatox rex trigger ab. All are good brushes that I plan on keeping. With that said, the swallowtail has given me some trouble with the trigger not being smooth and with sharp corners on the trigger not being beveled. The brush becomes downright uncomfortable after a while. Whoever manufactures these brushes for Gaahleri represents the best quality that mainland china is currently producing. However, the price points of the 98 and swallowtail series are too high when compared to sparmax(better quality) and gsi creos(even better quality). I have no doubt Gaahleri will up their quality to compete with these 2 mentioned above companies. They are just not quite there yet. At their current pricing structure there are better choices to be had. I didn’t mention Iwata because although excellent brushes, they don’t really compete with Gaahleri price wise. I don’t know of an ab on the market better than a gsi creos for the price. They represent the best value in ab’s imho.
I bought the Ace version and now have 3 AB's. (other are Iwata Revolution .5 and Creos PS-289 .3). I want to specialize the AB's for Primers, Acrylics (Vellajo) and Lacquers (Tamiya and Mr Color). Which AB for which application would you recommend?
Dang, wish I had found this a couple of weeks earlier since I missed the coupon deal, and the base price is a couple bucks higher as well. I've been looking for a cheap starter to re-learn with. I had previously tried a couple of siphon feed models, a Harbor Freight and an old Badger model I found, but constantly had problems and moved on. Been wanting to give it another try at some point with a gravity feed and was tossing around a Timbertech or NEOECO. Not in a huge hurry. Is this starter brush really a step above the others?
Good review video as usual! Do you happen to have any videos done on the Sparmax airbrushes?
I've tested 2 Sparmax airbrushes. Both are very good, I love their side feed
When and where do I add the oil ? Getting ready to use em finally
It's like they took the best aspects from Badger, Iwata, and H&S airbrushes all in one.
Thank you very much for your praise. We will do our best to improve the quality of our products.
I like your videos and appreciate the time you put into them but the badger and GSI have the air channels they in the air cap not part of the nozzle. If you going to buy the top of the line I would just go with one of the GSI
Is it possible to do spatter effects with any of these brushes? I've read that if you crank the pressure down with overthinned paint that it should create an even spatter but my Renegade Velocity really doesn't really like that trick, lol I've always wanted to find new brush I could use that technique with...
Love the videos Barbatos! I've learned a ton! Do you think the Gaahleir advanced model or the Neoeco the better choice?
I'd personally go with the Gaahleri
thanks so much! @@barbatosrex9473
another great video. i am just starting to learn how to airbrush . i bought a sagud airbrush compressor kit off amazon . it came with 3 airbrushes . i think it will be good to start off with. your videos will help me learn more trhank you for doing such great videos. the only thing is i cant tell what size needles come in them. they dont tell you on the paper work.
Airbrush Gun CS-30 with 1/3 oz gravity fluid cup & 0.3 mm pre-installed needle
Airbrush Gun CS-36 with 1/4 oz gravity fluid cup & 0.38 mm pre-installed needle
Airbrush siphon feed with 3/4 Jar & 0.8 mm pre-installed needle
hope you will enjoy them and get a great start on your airbrushing
@@gaahleristudio thank you sir. i found them they are 0.3 0.2 0.8 like you said .i used the 0.3 one it worked pretty good . i think i thinned the paint a little thin. i have testors paint .i watched your video on how to use them very helpful. i just have to learn how to ajust the airbrush and learn each part of the airbrush.

@@gaahleristudio thank you a question .i watched the video that you did on the elite spray booth master airbrush MASB 3000. i see you vented it into a bucket . i made my own spray booth and did the same thing .is there any special thing i have to do for doing it that way. thank you mike owens
Did you ever test the paint? You mentioned having it on the way. I’m considering it with an airbrush.
interesting, im always looking for good a good deal and a great product
I purchased the handheld kit that comes with their GT-08 I think. Its my first brush, but so far no luck. It has a real issue of constantly spitting, couldn't even get one muniature primed properly. Perhaps it's user error, or maybe I should have bought a more expensive kit.
I bought 2 of their airbrushes and l was wondering which airhose or adapter kit did you use
Cant wait for thier Supreme version.
My airbrush is part of that series
Purchased the Gaahleri GHAC-98D today for a Sunday delivery! Amazon gave an extra 5% discount in addition to the Barbatos Rex 20% discount for a total of 25%! Total cost out of pocket was $89.99 plus tax. This is on par with what I paid for the GSI Creos line of airbrushes also recommended by Barbatos Rex. I really like that they polished the inside surface of the color cup, and am wondering if this is possible to do on some of my other brushes?!
This airbrush costs around $10 usd. It is made in China, rebranded, marked up $30 goes to manufacturer, rest to Amazon and this guy making the video.
@@ddx5769 And mine will arrive tomorrow. It is what it is.🫡
@@dwells77 I’ll check back with you after a year to see how the quality is lol
I don’t mind healthy dialogue. However, if you’re going to identify issues with this airbrush/ airbrush offer, you should at least include solutions and/or alternatives. It seems like you’re just looking to be “right” or to be able to say “I told you so” when the truth is it won’t even matter in a year…
Fantastc video , im not super experienced so i just got the advanced.
Hope you will like it
"Once I get it flowing I get it going" :D I liked that line hahahaha Amazing review! I've been looking for a good airbrush to star with building models. Of all the reviews out there yours are the best. I think the GHAD-39 is more than enough for me at the moment and it seems that the quality of these airbrushes are outstanding and even seem wrong for the low price compared to how they are built and how great they work.
They truly are great airbrushes
@@barbatosrex9473 One question, what compressor do you recomend for starting? something that would work good with this airbrush? Thanks!
@@sergio_grez this one here my friend is perfect
czcams.com/video/JuDmHnm3YyA/video.html
Bought a GHAD-39 with two nozzle sizes, very impressed with the engineering standard of the build, certainly better than the the other entry level tools I have (Harbor Freight & NeoEco) - the consistency of the results produced in fine work is especially satisfying and I believe delivered by the fluid control knob mechanism and ease of cleaning made possible by the design. I am only concerned with getting spare parts as and if I need them - the NeoCon and the HFT are problematic for spares; the Paasche VL & VLS I have are great for spares but can't really do fine work consistently; Can't seem to find spares online - Anyone got suggestions?
I'll be posting a new video tomorrow with new info, the Neoeco company is preparing a website so customers can order all the parts of the airbrush. It will be up next month
Brushes look good, was thinking to get the ACE for the .5 option, but the discount code i see is only for 5%
The discount code is 203X7WXC
they also sell paint and airbrush compressor but after seeing this review I'm going to get this airbrush now will you be doing an airbrush compressor review from that Company too
The discount code is 203X7WXC
Where do you get the quick release airbrush stand in the UK.?
Where does one get spare parts for the airbrushes from? There's no working web site and amazon does'nt seem to list any spares!?
Do you know if the ace needles will fit and work with the advanced series airbrushes?
I noticed that a few others are having the same issue as me, I’m only showing 5% off in my cart. These seem amazing
The discount code is 203X7WXC
Thank you!
Try this code 203X7WXC
If there's trouble try contacting Gaahleri. They have codes
Woohoo made it in first this time.
I just might increase my airbrush collection again.
code is 203X7WXC
I'm hoping the Supreme is a .2 needle/nozzle setup
Thank you for your support
Do you have a "How to Get Started Airbrushing" video you could point me towards? I do diecast modding and want to get away from the rattle cans. I have no idea where to start.
