Don't fret over the Bronco kit not having an engine. On the 1:1 scale new Bronco's when you open the hood you can't see the engine anyway!

[@Razorgto1969]

Every time I watch your videos I spend money hahaha love it ! Great job !

[@markwakeley3835]

Your killing me Robert ! I'm saving up to get a Gaahleri Swallowtail and you show us these. They do look beautiful (I kinda like the Walnut handle but not the Mac Valve) and apparently spray really well but I'll keep saving. Maybe I'll look into them as a backup. Thanks for a great video.

[@TheEnd]

Here before the title edit to Wood!

[@godzilla80192]

Same

[@barbatosrex9473]

Fixed 😀

[@geoffhipwell2198]

​@@barbatosrex9473 Great video,as always, & that Spraygun is perfect for me! Thanks for the 'heads-up', I'll be ordering as soon as I can.

[@wombora]

i like the toolless nozzle change of the harder & steenbeck airbrushes

[@chrisbisho9785]

Bought one after watching this video . Tried it out today and found it to be very nice . Never used an airbrush with a trigger before so it took a minute to get used to . I find that using my middle finger to control the trigger and laying my index finger alongside the airbrush was most comfortable and very controllable .

[@kingcoco4398]

There's a fan airbrush for less than 30 too. Works amazing

[@WTJr65]

These brushes looked like they performed very well, however, I have big hands myself and those handles seem to be too small. Would be uncomfortable for me to use. Hope one day they would make these in a dual-action top lever button type.

[@michealwheeler1504]

I just got a swallowtail and am finding it’s not good for large hands, either. I’ll keep trying, but that piece of plastic sticking out is exactly where my little finger needs to go.

[@REKlaus]

Some of the Badger airbrushes use a similar nozzle setup. I find it more comfortable to place my index finger along the side of the airbrush pointing at what I'm painting and use my second finger to pull the trigger with this style airbrush. Thank you for sharing the info on this airbrush.

[@user-bf1sd3mm7m]

I built that new Bronco a few months ago. It is a very good kit, however. they should have included an engine🤷‍♂️

[@aroncheek5092]

I was considering going for a cheaper version but I still went a bit further and bought the gallhari ghad 68 and don't regret spending the little extra

[@bobrivett7645]

That was my 1st Gaalheria airbrush, then the swallowtail. Love them both. Enjoy

[@MrgreenurPastures]

So I have a 91 civic I painted black and just put acrylic vallejo space dust for the paint job and the compliment on "the paint job" are fun. I also painted it with a .2 needle airbrush kit compressor combo from harbor freight

[@birdsoup4355]

these are awesome with the .8 needle it can make painting a PG shield much easier

[@lacrossev]

Maybe I can finally get something to spray my tamiya gunmetal with dinner plate sized flakes without clogging 😂

One of my next purchases most likely lol. I just started and totally hooked . Thanks for the great videos and reviews .

[@barbatosrex9473]

You're welcome buddy

[@RhondaMcConnell-se9kh]

Great video. Like the .8 needle option.

[@JoshuaParnell]

Robert using the 0.8mm for Createx Wicked Colors, I spray those with my 0.3 Mobius :P They're a wonderful line if you take the time to get to know its quirks

[@Bruces-Eclectic-World]

Yes, I do too... lol Yes Createx is a great paint. I use it all the time... Most bottles say 40- 50 psi with a 0.5 needle or better out of the bottle. So Robert read the label man... Lol I use Createx all the time and thin them with washer fluid from Wally World... 😁 LLAP 🖖

[@theintake8961]

Interesting brushes Rex! Thanks 😎👍

[@lylebriggs923]

I may have to get one just because of the wooden grip handle

[@thehazmatguy480]

If they were smart, they would sell that handle separately.

[@tombower450]

Thanks for the review Robert. I'm adding one to my wish list. 👍👍

[@rondill1956]

Awesome review. Looks like a great airbrush. Thanks for sharing.

[@grooveholmes79]

AMT is hit or miss. Some of the really old toolings are garbage. However, new toolings from the 90s were pretty good. The 2022 Dodge Charger the released last year and the new police Charger is excellent. Fitment was as good as Tamiya.

[@Toxicity_XL]

Mmm I might actually pick one of these thangs ups, thanks for the review

[@user-bf1sd3mm7m]

The nozzle is unique, but I much prefer the compression fit type.

[@Blu3ManiC]

Run those spoons through the ultrasonic cleaner. It will take the factory mold release oils right off, no sanding needed.

[@allanlowe9346]

Nice presentation with the wood, but I just purchased your Swallowtail to go with my Gaahlery 68 and I think I'll be fine now with my "recommended by BR" arsenal of airbrushes ( Badger 105, GSI Creos PS289 ++) and other tools etc. Never miss your videos Robert but man you are keeping me poor. Cheers

[@tonywampler217]

Very very good 👍😊 I love it 💖😍

Im not a fan of a 'mac' valve but could put up with it for the walnut. I was gonna get a ''Swallow Tail" lol.

[@lylebriggs923]

Seems like a nice airbrush so far about halfway through the video

[@mikeellis5347]

Going on my to buy list.

[@johnnierayy]

Great video my man. I just tried the alclad candy red on that exact same model. Looks great. Wish I could show ya

[@lylebriggs923]

Nice airbrush for the price an thank you for the video on this an as always thanks for the time an effort you put into your videos for us Robert 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@makoajohnson2341]

I wonder how well the wood will hold up to long term use

[@NinjaBonez]

thats a nice lookin brush. but i wonder if cleaners will tear it up also. could always re-stain it. handle looks a little small for me. but i have sausage fingers too. lol

[@956miggz]

Awesome! I wonder if the inevitable lacquer thinner spillage on the wood has any effects on the coating of the wood

[@InfernusdomniAZ]

Almost guaranteed it will. If the wood is actually wood.

[@ghines65]

Nice, think I will get one

[@robertmann7277]

I was writing about extra tubes while I was watching this video ( great minds think alike- LOL )

Designing a new airbrush and I'm trying to work in a needle under 0.2mm

[@chaley2935]

@@barbatosrex9473 What's the performance and price goal? More like a Sotar 2020 (which I need to replace in 2 or three months as mine broke) or more like an iwata or steenbeck?

[@barbatosrex9473]

Probably closer to the Sotar. Might even go with a side feed as there aren't many on the market

[@chaley2935]

@@barbatosrex9473 What about an adapter to convert it from a regular gravity into a side feed? Would give people the option to choose which way they wanted to use it then.

[@barbatosrex9473]

We're working on an adapter that turns it into a siphon feed

[@ricksattler682]

I’ve been looking for extra tubes for needles forever. Folks sell them, but never have them in stock. If I ever find a source, going to buy 3-5

Same here Rick! Please let us know if you find any.... was maybe thinking of making some myself... I'll reach out if I find the tubing.

@@boomerrubble Please do and I will as well. Spraygunner has a listing for them at $1 each but they haven't had them in stock in quite some time. Cheers!

[@stephentabor8798]

Aloha, love your content as always. Hey, I was wondering if you would be willing to sell a couple of those push on fitting that You said you end up throwing away. They are good for hose repair and I can't seem to find them anywhere for sale. I know this is probably a little weird but it would sure help a brother out. Of course I'll gladly pay S&H as well. Mahalo for your consideration, Stephen

[@CrimsonFlagg]

They don't seem bad. How do they handle 2k clears?

[@InfernusdomniAZ]

I really don't understand the small paint cups. Its not like you can't just put a small amount of paint in a large cup and if you want alot of paint you can do that too. The small cup just adds more cost for little utility imo.

[@treborrrrr]

Plus in a bigger cup you can easily wrap some paper around your finger and get your finger in there to clean it easily. The only reason I can see for it is if you are having a hard time seeing past a bigger cup while doing close up work or something.

[@bobrivett7645]

​@treborrrrr I believe that's exactly what the smaller cups are all about, the large cups can block your line of sight view, smaller cups much less so. But your right cleaning them as well

[@jbaldwin3092]

what is the difference between the MAC and standard versions?

[@bobrivett7645]

With the Mac valve you can tweak the air flow through the air brush nozzle without touching the compressor air regulator. Helps when painting the same color but for different effects, like he demonstrated light shadow effect, by tweaking the Mac valve. I have a cheap one off of Amazon, still learning/experimenting with it.

[@itsagundam79]

So the airbrush with the Mac valve, it still has the air adjusting knob on the rear as well? Its just 2 ways go adjust the air coming out?

[@treborrrrr]

The adjustment at the rear doesn't adjust the amount of air. It acts as a backstop for the needle so that you can set a limit to how far back you can pull the trigger. This limits the amount of paint that comes out (needle further back = bigger opening at the front = more paint coming out). It can sometimes be useful as a bit of a safety if you're painting something delicate and don't want to risk accidentally pulling back on the trigger too far and drowning the model in paint.

[@bobrivett7645]

They wood handles, both of them are pretty. But 90% if my paint is solvent based, and i'm a clutz, so it take me long to ruin the finish. But for $50 who cares, its all about how they perform.

[@rmfberry261]

the mac valve one looks so much longer! is there any performance difference having a valve build into the airbrush vs having one connected to the bottom inline with the air hose?

[@barbatosrex9473]

Zero difference in performance

[@gr81jay]

What's a good compressor to get for this??

[@jesse-got-dolphins-into-heaven]

how do you clean your cups after your done?

[@barbatosrex9473]

Put thinner in it, cover it and shake it
