- Well I couldn't believe it when Ovaga contacted me again and said that they had new type of airbrush kit out on the market that may in fact be better than their first kit. I shouldn't say that it is better, but it is different. This kit is a different form factor than their first kit, but man the features of this airbrush kit for it's entry level price point, is, well the absolute best of the best out there right now. let's check it out.....
Below is the amazon link to this new Ovage Airbrush Kit.

Great video and product But, I just ordered the other Omega kit you reviewed. Thanks for sharing w us! Oh, I've seen its been a bit since u have done a video, I do hope your Not giving up, your channel and content are great!
Thank you. I'm not giving up. This channel is just a hobby for now and now that we're deep into spring I have had lots of yard work and exterior house upkeep that has been keeping me busy. Thank you for asking.
Anyone used it for 40K stuff ? Im thinking about getting a portable airbrush (for a start and because i lack the place) so yeah if some of you got some stuff done with it please share ! (im that close buying it tho XD)
Well small édit its not available knf France 😞
I lost my nozzle, any idea how to find a replacement?
It's unavailable at the moment. Do you know if they're restocking this? The listing isn't even popping up unless I go through your link.
Unfortunately I do not. I don't have a regular relationship with them. So I'm not privy to what is happening within their company.
I bought it and the compressor doesn’t work, it is brand new 😫. It was so complicated to clean it without any air at all… and it’s too late to exchange it since I bought it more than a month ago. I was thrilled about it but oh well, I hope yours all work fine 💜. Great video, thank you!
Contact Ovaga. They should make it right.
Great Video, i make diorama sets for my stop motion and have been looking at air brush kits to make painting the foam easier. At least for the initial black coat I brush on. This looks to be exactly what I need, unfortunately it is currently out of stock. I will purchase one as soon as it’s available and will use your link. Thank you!
I had just watched the other "Ovaga" and had placed an order for one of those kits, and then I saw this one. Canceled the order and ordered this one. Thanks for the reviews, Paul.
Thank you for watching. This is a great kit. I like both kits very well. I like the portability of the battery powered kit and i like the robustness of this kit. They are both great, just depending on the individuals needs. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Hi Paul - could you perhaps do a video on cleaning the airbrush (i.e. taking it apart).... I watched your vid and decided to buy the kit but this airbrush does NOT come apart the same way as usual ones - the secondary trigger isn't directly removable!! so I managed to get the thing apart and then couldn't put it back together again! (spoiler alert: you have to kind of screw it back together) and apologies - I only noticed your affiliate link now - my bad...
Thanks for the review. I’m thinking of getting one, but I wish the bottom pressure setting started at 15psi, but it is still an attractive compressor.
I wish the same, but I so rarely paint at that low of an air pressure that its not a big worry. It is a great versital kit for most applications. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it very much. Take care.
I bought the previous Ovaga model based specifically on your video review of it. That was just last February and I love it! Now I see this new model and I'm pondering if I wanna get it or not. And it's roughly the same price as the old model!
Let me help you out. BUY IT. 🤣 I'm just kidding. I definitely like the portability of the battery powered one m, but this new one is sitting right on my workbench where I paint and it works pretty dag gone awesome. Having it right at hand and quieter than my quiet air compressor.
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies All fair and valid points. I really did want to have an option of lower than 25psi on the new one, but I guess I can just revert to the previous battery compressor for that. The current Amz price is actually slight less than what I paid for the previous model (with the extra 10% off). I might just have to bite again. Curse your review (and thank you)! :D
Thanks for the video. I have one of these and am looking for other nozzles with different sizes. Have you found any that are compatible with ovaga?
I have not looked to change this nozzle. I do know these airbruses are made for ovaga by Galeria. I'm sure I spelled that wrong. You could try there.
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies Cool, thanks for the tip (pun intended)!
Great review
Im gonna try to buy this for my first airbrush kit. My dad and i bought a 1/35 tnk and 1/350 ship. We did not know we had to paint it. Searched what to do in youtube and found u. Hopes this works.
Good luck with your airbrushing adventures. There is a learning curve, but it opens a while new world to increasing your modeling abilities.
The good news for me is that this one can be bought and shipped to the UK for a reasonable price. A little more than the USA, but not bad, so I've ordered one.
That's awesome to hear. I will still never understand why their other one was so expensive for UK and Canada customers. Take care and happy airbrushing......
I bought one of these new kits, where can I find a .2mm nozzle and needle for the OVAGA newer airbrush?
Don't think you can. Ovaga doesn't sell upgrade parts as far as I am aware.
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies I think you're right. I spent 4hrs yesterday searching for a nizzle even remotels sililar and couldn't find one. Bummer as I do like this Airbrush in how it feels in the hand
@Wombatzone31 Check Gaahleri airbrushes. I know Ovaga is a rebranded Gaahleri. The owners of both companies are related.
😲YOW!!!! It's as if the air-brush company watched your old video and then three months later released the new and improved model based on that viewing!!!!!😜
OK bought this as per this video. Now where do I buy a duplicate airgun for the second port on compressor. Also where do you buy spare parts for the compressor and air guns?
Hey Robert. You can use any airbrush with the standard fitting on it with this airbrush. As far as spare parts go. If you have an issue in the future, you will unfortunately have to contact Ovoga directly to talk to them about getting parts.
I'm still happy with the older battery powered Ovaga pump you reviewed previously, but if I didn't already have it I'd look at getting this one. I also like the slightly lower pressure on the older unit as well (starts at 20psi) for priming Warhammer terrain and minis. Enjoyed the vid! Thanks!
Yes I definitely wish this new one had a lower pressure to start. They are both great kits however, and they serve slightly different purposes. I love the portability of the battery powered one. I have mine in a re-purposed tackle box with some paints and other accessories. I just grab that and throw it in my camper. Heck, this past November I was sitting outside of the camper in the middle of Fort Wilderness campgrounds at Disney World in Florida weathering some box cars while the family was at the pool for the day. It was awesome to able to do that. Thank you for watching and commenting. Take care.
Interesting. I use airbrushes a lot. I have 7 of them. Is the Air pulsed? I need it to be even flow. And can you use quick dis-connectors?
Hey there. The air pressure is constant, not pulsed. There is a slight lul when you first start using the airbrush as there is pressure in the air hose that comes out of the airbrush a millisecond before the air compressor kicks on. But I always start spraying off my work surface anyhow so it doesn't bother me at all. And yes I use a quick disconnect with it. Check out my video where I painted the orange car I attached to the end of this video and you can see the airbrush kit in action. Thanks for watching amd asking a great question.
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies I'm a train modeler too. But this would be good when I work on my friends layouts. I would be a good mobile unit. And using to brushes at the same time. I could have a fine needle in one and a medium needle in the other. For when I'm painting track and scenery.
That's a great idea. Oh and just an FYI. You definitely cannot use two airbrushes simultaneously with this compressor. Ovaga confirmed it, and it actually states it on one of the sales images on Amazon. But it would be perfect for what you want to do.
Here's a question -- have you tried using the Iwata with this compressor? Is that even possible to do? I'm in an apartment so noise is a huge concern for me, so I like the idea of the silent compressor and the airbrush looks fine, but I'd probably upgrade the airbrush eventually, maybe with the Hobby Lobby "Neo" knockoff of the Iwata. I also wonder if putting some foam padding on the bottom of the compressor might muffle the sound even more.
You can use any airbrush with this compressor with no problem.
I got one of those really cheap airbrushes a long while ago and the air compressor was not as great (just single pressure setting that has trouble with the white vallejo primer) so this one is really tempting to get as an upgrade :)
This is the second airbrush kit that I have received from Ovaga and as you could see, I am impressed with their quality. Granted it's not Iwata or Pasche, so I don't know for sure how well it last in the long run, but it's also not hundreds of dollars either. So I really don't think a person can go wrong with purchasing one of their kits. But this is simply my humble opinion. Thank you for watching and commenting. Take care.
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies Thank you for making the video and bringing it up to my attention :)
I mostly use my airbrush for priming, maybe throw a base color, so I don't need anything fancy - this should be plenty for my needs :)
I hope this kit can be shipped to south africa
it'd be nice if you validated the psi with a gauge
Wish I had one to do that.
Is this autovolt or 110 /220 volt?
110
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies i'm from NZ (220) and ordered one , I haven't opened it but can you please check if theres a switch to set it to 220?
I doubt that you can switch it to 220.
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies I cant see it in the pix but does the plug not indicate 110-220v?
Its autovolt 110-220 😅
They are having issues with the new hose. They will send a new one if you experience the issue.
I have the older airbrush and I found that the smaller nozzle resides securely inside the nozzle cap when I have unscrewed it. I have to admit, I'm jealous of you since I received the older version just last week and now, for the same money, you have a better compressor and airbrush! I wish I had known about this one sooner! You're right though, Ovaga does care about their product. Thanks Paul, for another great review!
Man I'm sorry. The sad thing is, Ovaga sent me this new airbrush before they even had it listed for sale on Amazon to check it out. I've had it for a little over 4 weeks, but I couldn't release the video until they were ready. And believe me. I was chomping at the bit waiting to get this video out for this very reason.
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies Not your fault, Paul! Besides, I'm happy with what I got. It works perfect for what I need it for.
From this and your previous video, that cordless Ovaga, had me peaked and torn. Totally new to using an airbrush, and like the idea of it being cordless, and that actual airbrush kit looked sweet and what I needed. Dual action, limiter, screw less head, and so forth. Yet, back then, I thought that self centring head is too itty bitty, compared to let’s say NEOECO SJ83, which is another budget friendly beginner unit with similar features. And of course, the needle chucking trigger guide, is fixed on, with the NEOECO.
Then I read the few reviews on that newer corded version, and half mentioned a leaky hose, just like someone on here. That is a large number, and my other concern was parts availability, and from whom, as both Ovaga units are being sold by different venders, here at Amazon Ca. I think for my case that cordless unit would be just right, except for itty bitty, and the loose trigger chuck.
Don’t get me wrong, as I like where and how this manufacturer is going by your relative two stories. Also, I should state, my reasoning for an airbrush kit, is not similar to 99% of you. I am retired and will be doing a woodworking side hustle, and have my ideas on how to add accents to some of the finished products. Why I wish to learn the use of an airbrush, even though I am a master painter by trade. I have used airless, compressor, and HVLP, taken them apart, and cleaned, and so forth, even to doing faux finishes.
Where am I going with this Paul, basically, I will stick to the smaller cordless unit purchased from AliE, and practice my use and finishing with that. Even to trying out home recipes of thinners, cleaners, and your WWF trick ( as I am frugal as well and hate wasting money on too many commercial products, some of which where very toxic in my trade), I have researched here with this medium. Continue my practicing and research, and hopefully Ovaga will work out the kinks, by the time I am ready to get something better.
Keep up the good work, and kindest regards.
Thank you for the great message I hope Ovaga gets their air hose leaking figured out real fast as well. Other than that I've their equipment. It also sounds like you are doing some interesting work with wood. Have you ever considered starting your own TH-cam channel. People love that kind of stuff. Thanks again and take care....
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies I went to the US Amazonia site, and wow, discount and further 10% off still active, and comparing prices to A Ca, still over $65 Ca cheaper, with the exchange rate and Ca duty and shipping cost! Contacted them in the US site, and they did reply the trigger chuck will be fastened on the cordless model, and available to purchase, though head is still itty bitty. Instead of spending $185+ on the Ca site, might consider the corded model from there, though waiting on a reply to some concerns.
As for doing and uploading videos, …… hmmmm, even though I spent over 10 yrs starting as a wee lad in photography and pro, ……. naw! 🤮🤭Way too private of a person for one, and I know how much work goes into being a content creator, even though I have all the digital equipment. Being solo, that would encroach on my hobby of woodworking, and tech, and photography. Though and mind you, if I was given a sweet reason to, I might once, and send it to you to edit and upload 🆙 ⬆️. 🤔😅 Incentives can work. 😉
Cheers
Does anyone know if the needles and nozzles can be replaced from 3rd party suppliers?
I'm new to all this and I did buy the first version but haven't used paint in it yet. Just a bit nervous taking that small detached part apart and putting it back. But main question is - is there a battery in this new one or runs strictly by electric power and always needs to be plugged in? Cheers!
The new one runs strictly off of the mains. Not battery. I think they are both great airbrush kits.
Great video, Ive been looking to start airbrushing and this looks like a fantastic option for me. I'm in an apartment at the moment and will need to pick up a spray booth too. I've been painting by hand for the past few years and looking to improve my efficiency. Purchased with your link my friend and you have a new subscriber in me. Do you have links or a video for the accessories that I need like the cleaning pot etc to get started? Thank you!
Awesome. Thanks for trusting in me. Here is a starter cleaning kit. It's pretty cheap. amzn.to/3w75j9U
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies Awesome, thank you.
It seems to me that the 55psi would be for running 2 airbrushes at the same time as that would give each brush around 27.5psi maybe.
Unfortunately you cannot run two airbrushes simultaneously.
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies I stand corrected.
@kennyrosenyc I thought you could as well. Buti i tried and it does not work. Then I read the fine print on the listing on Amazon and it says that it doesn't work. And that kinda sucks.
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies Yeah well. I'm new to this, I think it might be my new hobby as I work from home and often get bored. This might be my first piece of gear. But.... Duncan Custom Airbrush (the TH-cam channel) has a portable airbrush that apparently, he had a hand in designing. So I'm sort of torn. But I think I like this one better.
@kennyrosenyc I like this airbrush kit, but I'm not an airbrush guy. I just use one to paint models, so it's just a tool same as a paint brush. I'd someone is helping to design one then they probably know a whole heck of a lot more about them than I do. His very well may be a better kit than this one. But I don't know the price difference and that may be a deciding factor.
Paul, so I just received the new Ovaga. Question, is the compressor suppose to engage every 2 seconds when you're idle with the airbrush? Cuz that's what mine is doing. Also, there a hissing sound at the compressor ports. Basically air leaking out and as a result the compressor never shuts off when I'm not actively using the airbrush
No it should not be kicking on unless you are using the airbrush. If you are hearing a hissing sound then there is an air leak. My suggestion is to see if you can tell where the hissing sound is coming from. Make sure all of your connections are tight, but not over tight to where it could damage the threads. If you feel that it may be coming from the air hose try and all of the connections are tight then try pushing on the ends of the hose where they are crimped into the connections. If you find it is the hose, contact Ovaga and see if they will send a replacement. Of course you could buy a higher end hose if you want or exchange the whole shebang. I hope this helps out. Please let me know what you figure out in case someone else has the same issue. Take care....
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies Turns out it could be that the hose connector cap was too tight, but lemme elaborate some more.
First I tried using my current Ovago (the previous gen) hose on the new compressor and it was still hissing. Then I tried the new hose on the prev gen Ovago compressor and that was hissing too. I tried a few permutations of this but with changing back and forth the hose connectors on the new compressor. Still hissing.
I then finagled the crimped end of the new hose and I could start/stop the hissing (on old compressor). Tried new hose on new compressor and it was still hissing. I then noticed that the rubber gasket on the 2nd hose connector cap was shoved into the connector (likely I made it too tight). Made some adjustments there and got new and old hose to work on the new compressor CONSISTENTLY across both hose connectors on new compressor.
That being said, it's likely that the root cause was the gasket on the hose connector cap was "off" causing the air leak. I'm still a little skeptical of the hose though I haven't consistently reproduced the issue anymore.
Just FYI, there's one review on there Amazon page that also complained about the air leak.
On another note the needle and nozzle were quite tight when I received the item. I'm wondering if that's the case with yours (or perhaps I just need to clean mine first)
Thank you for letting me know..
Cool, does it really deliver that 50psi?
That's what they say. I don't have any way of testing the actual pressure, but it does push some of the thickest paints that I use through the airbrush at that setting with ease.
Hey i got ovaga wireless after watching your video. I have to say their customer service is non existent my compressor doesn't charge i will return it to Amazon i guess do you know how to contact them
Sorry to hear you have had issues. I would definitely return it to Amazon. I don't have any other contact information than what comes in the kit and their Amazon page.
I saw your review on the last one and bought it immediately. It’s performance is very good. Now, I’m gonna have to check out this one!🤪- Rick, USMC
You know you can never have too many airbrushes. 😁
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies I ordered it through your link, my brother. It will be here tomorrow.
That's awesome. You are gonna love it. Thank you for using my link and helping support my channel. It is much appreciated. Take care brother.
what hose did you buy to replace the faulty one that it comes with?
I did not have an issue with the air hose that came in my kit. Now that I have seen all the comments with folks having issues with theirs, I wish that I would have had one that had a problem so I could have brought it to Ovaga's attention and let all of you viewers know. Any standard airbrush hose will work. I have a couple of Iwata airbrush hoses that I have had for years. They are 10 foot long. I bought them at Hobby Lobby. I'm sure you can get them off of Amazon. I have those longer ones, because I bought them when all I had was an air compressor that sat on the floor, so I need the length. Thanks for asking.
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies Hey thanks, and im glad you lucked out. I just used a bit of pvc pipe tape around the hose screw parts right out of the box anticipating a leaky connection, so far its purring like a kitten.
Is there any concern about how long to run it? Im having a good time learning airbrushing with this one i just got yesterday and since its tankless I worry that I might be using it for too long without giving it time to properly cool down.
It is supposed to shut down if it gets too hot. I hate to push it that far. I have had two hour painting sessions with no over heating problem, but I'm not running the airbrush constantly for that time period. There are paint changes and in between cleanings. Just normal use.
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies lovely, then i should be good
Where is Ovaga's website or email?
I don't believe they have a website. If there isn't any contact information in the instruction manual, you can contact them through Amazon. Just go to the product page for the item you purchased and under the buy now tab is a link to ovaga where it says sold by. Once you click that link you can ask them your questions.
Would you still recommend the older kit?
Most definitely. They are both great airbrush kits. It just depends on your needs as to which one to get. If you need one that is very mobile where you may be painting where you are not conveniently close to an outlet, or you want one to travel with, then the battery powered one would be the one I would get. If you are setting up a painting area, or if you just want something to pull out and use once in awhile to paint something then I would get this one. You don't have to worry about a dead battery, just plug it in and go. Thanks for the great question. Take care.
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies Thanks for the reply, I would say "not conveniently close to an outlet" definitely describes my home.
This would be my first time ever using an airbrush and I have found your reviews and other videos (the one about preparing acrylic paints in particular) very helpful.
Okay question, I have the first model, the one he said was a bitch to put back together, I did a deep clean, and the air/paint button came out and don’t think I’m putting it back together right because I’m not getting any air pressure. Can anyone help me?
Yeah, putting the trigger back in can be a real PITA in any airbrush. It sounds as if you didn't get trigger in straight. The bar that is attached by the pin below the trigger has to go straight down on top of the air valve plunger that the hose screws onto. They can fold up if you don't hit that tiny plunger area just right. Best way to tell is to press down on your trigger. You should feel a springing action. If it just feels solid then that may very well be the issue.
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies I watched your other video and got it back together right but it’s still no activating the plunger correctly? It pushes down and springs up but still no air
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies I pulled the hose off and it’s definitely pushing in the plunger that allows for air flow but no air in the gun
Ok. This may be a dumb question, but just trying to figure it out. Is the air compressor charged up, and does it kick on when you press the power button?
@@RoadsAndRailsHobbies I just pulled it off the charger. And I think it’s the tip? I’m just starting out and don’t know names of things.
wow .,. 😎 .,.
this model does not allow both airbrushes to be used at the same time.
I kinda figured it wouldn't work well, but you are saying it won't run the second airbrush at all. Well that kinda sucks. Thank you for letting us know.
Unfortunately after a couple moths of light use my unit died on me and I provided videos to their Customer support but all they did was lie to me and show me pictures of someone elses order saying they had refunded me. Not the least bit impressed by these guys Paul, they even removed my review of it on Amazon. Do not trust this company.
1.5 speed is a much better experience
