You never seem to mention Master brands, and they are rather decent for the prices. Please check them out, and the whole kit with compressor and paints.

@@brandondirocco9816 I have 4 and the only reason it broke was because I didnt take care of 2 of them as I should have. Leaving the paint in too long, losing a washer, so on. The other 2 work close to 90% of my Iwata, and a lot less price.

I've started (for miniature painting) with double action H&S Ultra (0.2) and it's only OK - the trigger is unfortunately too stiff for precise work - upgrading to H&S Infinity (0.15 & 0.4) made huge difference, though no wonder at that price point. Ultra was great for basic stuff though - priming, basing, diorama work and cleaning it was super easy. Infinity is all that and more, but yeah, $$$.

I like using my single action airbrush to do fill in, base coats, fogging large areas with stencils then switch to double action for the art work. These vids keep me on my toes thanks a hula Carsten

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thanks for your comment and yes, single action brushes definitely have their place and come in handy 👍🏻 glad you enjoyed the vid all the very best from Australia 🇦🇺

[@fafane65]

I buy an cheap fengda FE-180K airbrush with little compressor and acrylic color pack for 135€ to try airbrushing, good luck for me, it working in decent way. I feeling more and more confident and definitly looking for better airbrush in some time. So a better airbrush for improving fine detail and using the cheap for heavy duty. Thank you for all your great video =)

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thanks for your comment and as I mentioned buying a cheaper setup to start with is still better than no airbrush at all. The kit you get will still come in handy later when you upgrade to better quality brushes and you will find you will use the cheaper brushes to spray backgrounds and primers etc 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Glock-1]

I have the Iwata HP-CS and the Paashe Talon and love them both and the Talon actually comes with 3 different size needles nozzles and tips

Thanks for your video on Airbrushing. I'm interested in an Airbrush to Airbrush the edges of pucture frames all around the frames about the width of a quarter using metalic gold for a metalic gold finish, I'd rather spend good money for something that will last than something cheep. Thanks in advance.

[@KrisperKenvue]

Hi from Germany! Thanks for this informative video. As you said, the most important factor (besides money) is what you want to do with an airbrush. I just bought a cheap airbrush kit (50 €) from Amazon ("Ganzton Airbrush Set Double Action"), to use for miniature painting. Cheap double action airbrush with 0.4 mm needle/nozle, mini compressor, air hose and the usual "cleaning tools". My main intention was to replace the old rattle cans for applying primer and clear varnish. It gets the job done (even doing the first base color with it) and I got the hang to it quite easy. This kit won't be the right choice for hourlong non-stop painting sessions I guess, the compressor would be down on its knees. At least it has an auto stop and can be switched between 3 PSI settings (~15 to ~30 PSI). Now I'm bitten by the airbrush bug and thinking about getting into "full" airbrush painting. So I'm saving up money to upgrade later down the road. A reasonable compressor with an air tank and for the airbrush I'm eyeballing an Harder & Steenbeck Silverline or Evolution. And I need to macgyver a small paint booth to keep my workspace (and my health) nice and clean ;)

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Hallo und wie gehts ? Yes, thats exactly right and this is why cheap airbrushes are great, as they get people into it and then once you give it a try you can then justify spending the $ on a branded brush and the cheap brush will still be useful for backgrounds and or primer. So glad you have been bitten by the airbrush bug it will make your miniature painting SO much easier. All the best and thanks again for your comment.

[@duanenorelli5488]

Hi i am a professional car painter and i always wanted to do airbrushing on custom paint jobs, my question is how do you determine what nozzle size to use when using a airbrush?

[@LordPadriac]

Being in America I wanted to stay with American brands if at all possible and both Paasche and Badger both still make their airbrushes here and they are widely recognized as two of the best brands in the world. I had purchased a Paasche Talon set that came with all three needle sets it can run because it was a little bit cheaper than the Badger I wanted but I ended up picking up the Badger Sotar 20/20 when that complete set went on sale and have since purchased a second Sotar Set to to have different brushes set up with different colors and/or different needle sets depending on what I was doing. I still use all three guns. I recently began doing a lot of bigger pieces like scratch built scenery for tabletop gaming and diorama displays for some of my minis and wanted a trigger type gun to make the longer priming and painting sessions easier on my trigger finger. For some reason the American companies do not make such a gun so I went with the Iawata. No regrets there either. As far as spending money for the sake of spending money I had the opportunity to buy a brand new Harder and Steenbeck Infinity at a store closeout for an insane discount and went for it. Save your wallet and don't buy one. It's not a bad airbrush but it is definitely not worth the ludicrous price they want for it if you pay full price. It only comes with one needle set and does not work any better than the Paasche Talon or Badger Sotar 20/20. If you want to have a gun on your shelf that tells everyone that walks into your studio that you spent an absurd amount of money on your airbrush get the Harder and Steenbeck Infinity. If you want a gun that just works amazingly with readily available spare parts get the Paasche or Badger.

[@garycarver3694]

I'm going to try out one of those Creole airbrushes with the 18 needle I just haven't had the money right now but I know I'll come up with it eventually but I have several wireless and I have some of them real cheap airbrushes they're they're number two needles and it actually worked pretty decent you know just taking me a while to get back into into the swing of it I have an airbrush since 2015 only can I got sick and it really messed me up you know I still have trouble control in my arms and hands and stuff but I'll get there I know the Lord is able to help me and I thank you for your devotion to trying to help people to understand airbrushing and whether they even need an airbrush or not thank you for your work May the living Lord Jesus Christ bless your soul on your endeavor to do this

I just bought a new Iwata Eclipse Takumi side feed, I'm anxious for its arrival!

[@christophergreen2328]

I got a iwata HP pro that I've had for about a year and love it. Just got a creos Mr hobby ps270

[@dkheaton]

Just a quick question. I have always used a bottle-feed airbrush. I see a lot of people using the gravity feed instead. I change colors a lot so it seems like a gravity feed would waste more paint for each change. Am I wrong?

[@PrimalEdge]

Awesome video…. as a noob, I really appreciate the info

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thank you so much glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

[@TheBattleRabbit860]

I have a cheap unbranded airbrush right now, and I'm going to upgrade very soon. I do scale models from 1/72 up to 1/32 in size. I found the Master Pro Plus kit that comes with 2 gravity feed cup sizes and 3 needle sizes; is the Master brand a good quality? Or would I be better off with a Badger Patriot 105 or Paasche TG-3AS? I'm looking for something that will last me awhile and can handle enamel, acrylic, and various enamel & acrylic based lacquers and varnishes.

[@hankrol7830]

I'm plastic modeller, making aircraft in 1/72 scale. I have a cheap, double action graphity AB. Cost me about 30,00Euro and for the purpose I do, I think the AB works. Needle 0,2 - 0,3 & 0,5mm. Maybe You can do some vids with Brett Green (HyperScale, Aus) to make airbrush for modellers........

[@sheryltunnecliff2999]

Thank you for all of your videos. They are very helpful. I am a novice and would like some advice on the compressor that you should purchase. I am really at a loss as to what to look for in a compressor for this task.

[@raquelharker8428]

Sheryl Tunnecliff - I would recommend a dental compressor (no jokes). These are normally painted white, but the BIG plus factor is that they run QUIETLY. You can comfortably run one indoors (as dentists tend to do). Interestingly, they are available at most compressor dealers and are priced competitively. Just ask for a dental compressor and they should know what you are talking about.

[@DisVietVetUSA]

[@Nitro4x4]

Love your channel and your work is incredible!! Just starting out and after months of thought, and some holiday cash that came my way, I decided on the Iwata Eclipse HP-CS. Am currently watching your "How To" videos to gain some of your knowledge before I get started. I build models up to 1/24 scale, and want to get into doing some artwork and crafts also once I get my skill level up, and get the feel of using an airbrush comfortably. Will be using Acrylic mainly to start, and pick up other painting mediums later on. Right now, I have Vallejo Model Color, Tamiya, and Mr. Color paints, and will expand as needed. Had a question regarding the needles. Can one use different size needles (e.g. 0.2 or 0.5) in the HP-CS? And if so, how effective are they?

[@CreativeBrain-zd8ib]

Is an plastic body air brush good to busy ! It will be delicate to use but as per your suggestion please do tell me

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Not entirely sure what you mean, but if you are wanting to know if I like plastic body airbrushes ? Only Aztec comes to mind as a brand that was really light weight, personally it wasn’t my preference but whatever you feel comfortable with is best …Hope that helps 😉👍🏻

[@Golgafrinchamdent]

I need something small & portable to go in my furniture touchup kit. Before now I've been using spray cans. I won't use it every day so I got one of those cordless kits off of Amazon. It claims to be 32-psi and it is quite compact, so it doesn't take up an obnoxious amount of space in my kit. So far, I've only blown water through it but it looks promising. I wouldn't mind upgrading the brush if it ever konks out... but do you have any opinion on those tiny rechargable compressors? Worth a damn... or not really?

[@Pavelek88]

If PS 770/771 had the same trigger and air valve angle as 289 it would be too perfect :)

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Great point I do like the trigger angle but I have to say the 770 and 771 are super smooth brushes 👍🏻

Hi! I have a resin skull K9 mask that I left in the sun by accident, so it has gotten yellow on one side. It has some cracks to make it look more real, and so I thought that using spraypaint to make it white again would fill in the cracks with paint. I don’t want the cracks to be filled in, but I also don’t want to spend alot of money on buying an airbrush. Do you know if spraypaint would work on my mask without filling in the mask, or do I have to use an airbrush?

Hi there, I’ve been viewing your series of airbrushing. I’m in the UK. I’ve been painting RC car bodies, both polycarbonate and hard bodies with spray cans. I’ve also been painting cockpits and driver figures, using various standard model brushes. Im looking for a relatively cost effect solution for both PS Tamiya paints and TS Tamiya paints ( or equivalent). I’m a hobbyist, not a professional. I’ve seen the battery powered units and these tick the box in terms of value. The Neat and Handy brand has quite good deals. But are they good enough for the hobbyist doing RC cars, and driver figures? Can you recommend anything for the budget conscious RC car modeller? Appreciate any advice. Take care, keep well and a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

[@coolkids2064]

Great Review as always and great Information thank you.. I would recommend the creos ps 270 .2 fine detail or the ps 289 .3 all around airbrush. If you would prefer the trigger type the ps 275. Finer detail the ps 771 creos .18. Now if money is not and issue the Iwata like the kustom hp-ch .. Iwata hpc .35(the hp c considered to be the goat of the airbrush by many) both are all around brushes or the custom microns for better detail work like the Side or top feed .18 or .23. If Asylum suggests something different I would go that route as well. Thanks.

[@coolkids2064]

For got to add the trigger type ps 290 .5 has a round and a fan cap works very good on bigger surfaces. Like priming, painting and clearcoating the bigger the tip size the less you would have to dilute your paint hopes it helps.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

I would recommend the GSI Creos PS.289 or Iwata Eclipse both fantastic all round airbrushes that will last and provide great coverage and fine detail, check the description in this vid for a list of all the airbrushes discussed in order of cheapest to most expensive 👍🏻👍🏻
