I have one of those portable airbrushes and it works fairly well. It’s nowhere near as good as a proper compressor but it suffices. One of my complaints about it is the compressor isn’t as powerful as I’d like but this airbrush seems to have plenty of power. I’m actually really impressed. Even though it doesn’t look like much it really performs. Great find!
@ippaku3 ай бұрын
I think that works very well. But I think in part it’s your experience with the thinning of the paints using a really great paint you gave that device the best of the best to use with your skill of knowing what paint would really go through five needle in a nice way, I think people would probably struggle more with paint or thicker paint and myself included. I know that’s one of my problems is knowing how to thin my paint when painting but as always a proud patriot member supporting the channel. Be well be you

You described it very well. A more convenient spray can. And that's why i think it's too expensive for what it offers. I mean, if you already have a decent setup (compressor,booth etc) it would be better buying a dirt cheap airbrush of this style and call it a day.They're perfect for priming The small wings did lose some detail, maybe you missed it in your excitement, and the shield doesn't really look very....crisp after painting. But maybe it's just me being too picky. I do have an eye for detail and finesse. But i do see it's value for thins other than scale modeling. Like touching up paint on vehicles, appliances or painting stuff in general that don't require detail.

Looks like a nice tool. Will be interested in a long time test, if you still like it after it has a few hours on it. "Amazon" shipping has really gone down hill, poorly packed boxes, broken produce, and slower than they used to be (I watch the tracking and wonder how some package wonder back and forth between two towns, like it was stuck on the wrong truck.) The Paasche H is great when you need to spray a lot primer or the same color paint. They are inexpensive, have several size bottles available, easy and quick to clean and have 3 sizes of nozzles available for different viscosities of paint. Bottles of paint can by stored for a day or two by capping the feed tube and tape over the vent hole.

I would venture a guess, there's nothing 'special' about it. You just need a bottle with the same thread/ size and one not so big it's too heavy or doesn't fit. Look for a supplier of bottles for folks that make essential oils, or scent sprays and tinctures. They come in both glass and soft and hard plastic. Clear and colored. And lots of sizes. If you have a local store that does plastics/epoxies and supplies, my local shop has tons of bottles, glass and plastic. Some marine supply places have stuff like this too, for boat builders/repairs. Find the size you need and compare the price for the same on amazon or wherever. Plus they usually come with lids or sell them extra. Same type places often have the needle tips as well and in different needle sizes/gauges.
