The benefit of that is it can be used away from the mancave, such as down in the shed or at model club meeting; even shows etc. When we use a conventional brush or our fingers there is potential to spread bacteria and germs across the face. nozzle, a portable compressor set perfectly for make-up application, a braided air hose and UK power plug. and I thought it was worth a try as I alternate between my man-cave and home so something portable would be useful. I’m saying this from personal experience of showing numerous people what a real airbrush does in direct comparison.

The second test was on a Hades Breaching Drill which was previously primed with Army Painter Army Green.I don't have any issue with the angle of spraying whilst holding it; however, I would think that a length of hose could be adapted to fit both ends, thereby providing some flexibility with the angle of spraying. Your existing paints will work through your airbrush when they are easily thinned but this is literally everything you need to get started. You can get the benefits immediately by saving money on spray cans and airbrush priming your models. It arrived today and I found it unusual because when the compressor is switched on the air blows through the brush (my other air brushes don't do that) and the trigger actuates the paint flow. One that has a 2nd battery you can swap will help with that though; I rarely airbrush for more than an hour as my old compressor overheats after that!

Weighing less than a bag of sugar, it has been selected for perfect applicaton of Airbase Ultra Foundations, Blush and Bronze.And having done it on one, and then placed them next to each other, the difference is more noticeable. Would need to take apart but so poor quality I would need a set of pliers to take this apart further than just removing the needle.

once connected to an airbrush, the compressor will only engage when you push down the airbrush trigger. My first quick test was to grab a previously primed and sprayed Munitorum Armoured Container and put a layer of Dawnstone Grey over it. You also get a small moisture trap as compressed air can create water which could end up in your airflow and ruin your paint – though they are not the best with the tankless option above. To provide the distinctive gloss of the bodywork, we have created a special lacquer formula with the accompanying catalyst and thinner. You can get a side loading gravity fed airbrush which often have the option of a larger paint hopper.It can also be used by advanced painters taking advantage of its unique properties to mark shadows and volumes, blend and glaze colours with ease, bring out the details of your figure quickly and use it as a starting point for more professional painting.

I've only used mine a few times and the last time wasn't great - probably down to not thinning my paints well enough though I'm not sure the trigger action on the brush was as 'positive' as the previous uses. which is fine for the convenience, but you can easily thin any of the existing Citadel range with something like Car Screenwash or Distilled Water. I have never used one of these before and after watching videos and seeing reviews on this model I took the plunge.You’ll definitely need to thin your paints a little extra and that alone can lead to trouble with horrible runs on your miniature rather than a nice dusted coat. The same is true with cans I suppose, but the smell is enough to put most people off using them inside the home. Similar to priming, airbrushing paint provides you with a great way to apply thin and smooth coats of acrylic paint on your models.
