Scale Model Tips - Testing A Cordless Battery Powered Airbrush With A Portable Air Compressor
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.พ. 2021
- Here I test a portable cordless airbrush. The handheld compressor is impressive and both that and the airbrush performed well. It charges very quickly and last a long time. Around an hour of airbrushing. You will need to thin your paint well especially acrylics but when thinned properly it will spray anything.
Below are links to purchase one for yourself. One link to Spray Gunner
and another link to one on Amazon

Just got a generic Hobby Lobby store brand version of this kind of airbrush, excited to try it. The compressor came charged out of the box and I hit the button and it vibrated and scared me! My only reason to get an airbrush is to use specialized paints like lacquers, special iridescent finishes that only craft paints (or Createx colors) can offer, and I am so glad the battery powered airbrushes are available. It’s a great option for those of us that want to spend less money overall, and able to mix our own colors, as well as use special colors that aren’t available as spray cans, without needing a spray booth and compressor and all that jazz. And I’m inspired to film my final test of it for painting a kit! I got a camera for my 17th birthday, and I really want to use it for video, especially Gundam stuff! Thank for all your vids bro, I’ve made a lot of informed purchases (or not purchases because something wasn’t for me, too expensive for my purposes, or I was just curious about a unique test) and sparked my interest to get painting Gundams again after feeling discouraged with mediocre spray can paint results and the heavily limited color supply.
If you hold the trigger and press the black button under the compressor it will switch between high and low pressure modes.
You dont need to hold the trigger. Just the black button.
The button in the base changes the pressure from High to Low. In High it will spray neat Stynylrez. In low it can do fine lines using water based acrylics. I’ve had mine 9 months and made 2 videos on it showing what can be done. You can also attach an Iwata Neo if you add an internal extender for the valve rod or, using the Neat and Handy adaptor, pretty much add any Iwata or Badger airbrush.
Mate, you're a champion. My demands for model finishes are low and I typically use cheap spray cans. I was wondering if one of these would work for me for the occasional airbrush job because I can't be bothered with all the hassle of compressor, air traps, regulators etc. From all your demos it's pretty clear it would do everything I would want. Thanks for being so clear and thorough and down to earth. You have none of the airbrush/paint elitism I'm used to in the modelling scene.
Thanks buddy
@@barbatosrex9473 How much flow improver and thinner did you use for the vallejo paint? I got myself one recently to start airbrushing so I am really new.
@@alfredophillips6016 Id go with a 70/30 paint to thinner ratio then add about few drops of Flow Improver. Some people use just Flow Improver to thin the paint. You can try that too using the same ratio
@@barbatosrex9473 Thank you very much
@@barbatosrex9473 could this be a good buy for priming and base coating
Thank you BR. You are doing the plamo gods work. I’m definitely getting one of these, thank you for the in-depth review
Another Excellent video! Very clear and concise, well planned and thought out tests. This does seem like a viable option at a lower cost.
This is awesome 😎. Thanks for this review. This will be handy for simple, quick projects. I just ordered one.
I’ve seen a few folks in Japan using these on their channels. But, I have to say you were MUCH more thorough in your testing!
This is my new favorite channel. I've learned so much from watching you and I really appreciate that you're trying to save us money on paints with all the tests and comparisons it has definitely saved me some cash. Can't wait to start painting my setup is almost finished!
Thanks for watching and the kind words.. Many more test to come...
You are like a kid in a candy store with all this great airbrushing and paints stuff. I would not miss one of you videos and have learned so much from them Thanks mate..
Thanks Allan for that feedback. Thanks for watching. Many more vids to come 👍
just started watching ur vids and ive learned alot from them keep up the good work man
Thanks for watching. Welcome aboard 👍
I just bought one and was struggling with the paint until i watched this. Thanks for the tips
It looks pretty good, and easier to put down on a flat surface than a regular type airbrush.
I live in a apartment cluster so i have always been hesitant to getting at regular airbrush due to the noise of the compressor. This looks like a good way to dip my feet in to airbrushing to see if i like it. Great video.
Thanks buddy
I've only ever used a bike pump. It's a workout but it's quiet and gives the body some exercise.
@@barbatosrex9473 Hi, can it be used with celluose metalic for touching up small chip or scratch marks on cars?
Awesome that little contraption works so well. Would be awesome for model builders and people who need to be able to spray in a bedroom with a little homemade booth. Need to make universal compressors if they dont already. So you can just buy the can and use what you have already.
Your channel Is so helpful for learning model painting, thank you for the videos
Thanks for watching friend. Many more to come 👍
Another great review!
Thanks. I am looking into trying airbrushing for dollhouse miniatures. Since it is for leisure use, this looks like a better option for me. Thanks for this review and the other ones. They really help me understanding the different options in the market.
You have great videos. Very informative. I appreciate it ✌
Thanks buddy
Just bought a 3D printer wand was looking for something to but down a smooth base coat and didn't want a big compressor in an already small room. This provided me the info I needed to make up my mind and give one of these a shot. Thank you.
Thanks for watching, good luck
That is so funny I was looking into buying one for myself.
New England 🤘🏻. Thanks for the great videos
Glad someone’s actually using one to paint for once lol every review I see of one of these in English is some kind of barber or hair stylist. Only ones I’ve actually seen for modeling we’re in Japanese and Korean. Think I’ll pick one up for sure now, thanks.
I like that it stands up on the bench. Probably will never buy one since I have all the airbrushes I need.
Damn, that's what I'm talkn about. Thanks. Straight to the point. 👍🏻☕👏
Very cool. Surprising. Would be good to have for Mobil work. 👍👍 I just got my procon 270 in and I absolutely love it. Love the adjustability and the spray pattern is so much nicer. Thank you.
The 270 is the best. My favorite airbrush
Thank you, what a great review!
Thanks for watching 👍
Just bought one last week and can't wait to try it. Thanks for the heads up on the thinner.
fascinating and great review, thanks for the thoroughness since I was wondering about whether you could use a hose. No Name seems to be some pretty good stuff.
I got one of these a few months back and so far I love it!
However, as you said I do have to thin paints a bit more than I normally would.
Great reviews on your channel. Glad I found your channel
Welcome aboard
Thanks!
Wow...very interested in this for priming my Warhammer models.
Thanks for this!
You're welcome buddy
Thanks for the video. I purchased one of these apparently I was using it wrong. Spent too much time trying to make it work.
I have one by another name. Sprayed Alclad II clear Red straight from the bottle. I wouldn't use larger than a #3 needle in the airbrush. I have used this to spray lacquers on small pieces to accent my bicycle. Mine came with a really cheap double action airbrush but works fine. I added a Grex silicone grip to grip the gun better. The gun's button hurt after a bit, the cushion that goes on the button makes it much more comfortable.
I want one 😊 thanks for the review! 🇦🇺❤️
Just got mine, can't wait to try it out, it's my first airbrush. Like + subscribe done
thank you for the review ... I was worried about the constant air pressure .... but instead of going up with the pressure you just go thinner with the paint.... again thanks for sharing...
Anytime friend 👍
Picked one of these up last week, can’t wait to figure it out! 🤞
Cool! thnx for the review :) Could be possible to get one of those cheap airbrushes with the airspeed control at the bottom kind of like the Mr Hobby procon PS270 to adjust the airspeed aswell...
I own one of this. True, you cannot adjust air volume, but the adjustment knob in the back lets you control paint flow (by blocking the needle back movement), for me, not very experienced, this works great, as it is one less variable to worry about.
Excellent review!
Marino
Thanks for watching 👍
Truly these videos are so so helpful. Any chance you could try this handheld compressor with that harbor freight cheapo airbrush you already reviewed?
Thanks to your video I bought one of these and now I use it to paint my gundams. I wanted to ask you if you know what adapter I could use for a badger 105 patriot airbrush. Keep up the good work with your videos they are very helpful.
thinking of getting this for doing dust effects
Thanks for testing the cordless brush out. Wasn't sure you saw my post or maybe it was by coincidence? It did much better than I ever expected. I'm going to get one for quick spray jobs. I wish they would have added a regulator. That would have been very impressive.
I found out here that the little button on the bottom switches the compressor from low to high. But I find that the high setting is all I will use probably
Hello sir. Love your videos and thank you for what you do.
So I have the AutoLock airbrush. It’s similar to this model you are using. Looks the same actual.
Have you figured out, what adapters one might need to run other airbrushes? I just bought your swallowtail…but I fear I won’t be able to run it with this setup.
Thank you.
testors looked great.
Hello Barbatos Rex. I enjoyed watching your review on the No-Name Airbrush. I would like to ask you which "mini" moisture trap for airbrush do you use or recommend which connects to the airbrush, as I am new to painting using an airbrush. Wishing you a good day
Do you remember to what ratio you diluted the Testors paint example with thinner?
Great video(s). I recently discovered your channel and I really like your content.
Thank you so much for this review ! It helped so much in my decision on whether to buy this or not...and yes I ordered one lol
I have the same airbrush kit. I painted a 1/35th Takom 12.8CM Flak Zwilling last night. Battery was still on level 3. Still had plenty left to paint more kits.
Awesome, send me a Pic of it
Very nice review ! I loved the video :) Atm amazon has it for 70 euros. For AK 3rd gen acryl. I need 70/30 paint/thinner (or water) ration also ? Since I brush paint my models, I use water to thin my AKs and I haven't ever used thinner but I guess I will need it for this kit. Do you think I can use a cable on it to keep the bottle a bit out of my view ? I wonder if that will drop the pressure ... Do you suggest any better gun to pair with it that will help to do the job better ? Thank you in advance !
Where you able to find an adapter? If so I’m getting one of those today!!! Great video
Do you ever use a viscosity cup, knowing the time a measured amount of product takes to empty? I do every time and it always works.
Nice video
TDH
thanks.
Cool.
Awesome video mate! Often wondered what they'd work like. Do you think it would have enough charge to get a 1:24 scale car body done with a couple of mist & wet coats?
Absolutely, it should run about an hour, you can have everything done before that
Would the cordless compressor be usable with other airbrushes? I’m curious about the one you did with the detachable bottle system you played with.
I also have one ..My families so happy not to hear my compressor at 3 am.
Here is a tip take off the tip for ultra fine lines.....
You will have to use the air adapter that comes with their airbrush to connect or use another airbrush.If not it runs non stop.
Like you were saying.
But will runs with my Eclipse with that adapter off the noname airbrush.
Not that conventions are happening but I could see this going over well at gaming conventions to let folks get quick priming jobs done on newly bought models to spin them around and put 'em on the gaming table painted quickly while in a hotel room.
Great idea
Great video, I ordered one after first watching this video and it's just arrived😛
Awesome 👍
How can anyone dislike this video. I want to get into airbrush but I don't want a loud or slightly loud air compressor. And this seems like what I want. But I just want to know how it deals with canvas. I guess I have to buy one to find out.
I got one and i love how it works. Just remember that this will be for small jobs. Don't try to go for big jobs or it will die on you.
I may get one. Would a 1/24 scale car be considered a big job?
@@markforster6457 if you are planing to prime, paint and do a clear coat. All in the same day. Yup. But just break it down and take your time. Remember divide and conquered
Interesting 🤔...
Thanks for the review on the cordless compressor there are several sets out there one with a Japanese airbrush and a cheaper "American" airbrush you obviously got the Japanese airbrush. Just to let you know they have an updated version in Black that has a different attachment. The one that was show wont work with a Badger airbrush and I dont know if there are any adapter that make it fit badger airbrushes. The new one doesn't have the leds on the bottom or the button if I'm not mistaken.
Nope this doesnt appear to be the Japanese airbrush
Have a wireless airbrush and need to know how to mix acrylic paints house enamel paints how much water and paint to make thin, also can I use inks?
Hi, I have quick question, can I use lotion/gel/cream/paste etc for airbrush rather than water base or do I need to mix with water a little bit to make it liquid-ish? I plan to use it for airbrush car/motorcycle trim parts
hai, can we use with the marker airbrush adapter?
the brush that can hook with the gundam marker.
What size nozzle does it have, a .3mm. If so it acrylic probably needs a little thinning. But over all it looks pretty good for what it does.......
Is it possible to use this compressor for other applications, such as air horn, blower nozzles, etc?
Thanks for the thorough test and review! I just got a similar portable airbrush to practice with as an introduction to airbrushing. I have a lot of Tamiya acrylics, but no thinner. I was wondering if you'd tried Tamiya acrylics with the universal thinner and what sort of ratio you think would be good for portable guns like this? Or maybe using Tamiya thinner is better? My compressor is marked at 18-20 psi but it's very similar to this model. I figure its best to practice with the paint I already have before I go out buying a bunch of new ones :)
Use isopropyl rubbing alcohol. I open a fresh jar, fill it to the top with the alcohol. Close the lid and shake. That's the perfect ratio and the alcohol works great.
@@barbatosrex9473 I'll give it a try - thanks!
I'm new to airbrushing so this might be a silly question: will this compressor work with the $10 harbor freight air brush kit?
Sorry total noob here
I picked up one of these and mixed in some of those acrylic craft paints
Came out a bit splattery* I guess that’s not a word lol
Anyways so I ran out of battery
Do I need to remove the cup with all the paint in it and wash everything while I’m charging the unit ?
Thanks !
I’m touching up paint with my car small spots but my question is how do you thin out the paint to put in airbrush do you use lacquer thinner or what
how could you use it with your pump when then battery pushes up the toggle? seems limited
does it works for the Gundam Marker Airbrush system?
where can I purchase an adapter to use my badger airbrush with this compressor?
Does this works with the Gundam Markers aribrush?
is there an option if you want a wider coverage of spray?
ok, watched about halfway through ... seems the main issues are that the airbrush itself isn't very adjustable ... so, would the chargeable compressor work with a better separate airbrush, that has better setting capability?
I have a Gundam Marker Airbrush and have been trying to connect it to the portable air compressor. Know what kind of adapter(s) I'd need for it?
Can I use my existing standard airbrushes?
Badger sitar is one of the best airbrushes you can buy. Only problem with it is small cup. Other then that it’s just about flawless.
"Sotar"..
Hello Barbatos, I thought this would be a good starter kit for the price. I haven't tried any kind of spray gun painting before but this video convinced me to go for it with my budget. However, if you dont mind me asking, I want to try and use Testors with this peice. I know that it was made witb acrylic in mind but i just love an enamel finish. You testing the Testors in this video looked great but you didnt go into it much for that specifically medium. Is there any other pointers you'd give regarding Testors besides just using thinner?
Have you seen my video on airbrushing Testors

@@barbatosrex9473 I have not! I'll watch it now!
Does anyone know the size of the adapter?
That airbrush looks like my H&S Evolution Silverline...
I hope your kept it away from banana oil as to not void the warranty
could you just use it continuously if you just left it plugged in?
were do you gget yr primers lovve yr vids i do modles
Great videos!
I have one of these, do you know if you can fit another airbrush to it via a compressor tube?
Hey Rex! Please please please start an automotive build series! 🙏🏼
Well I will be painting a car kit with real automotive paint very soon, I just did a trial run behind the scenes
@@barbatosrex9473 awesome! Cant wait to see it!
Does anyone know the adapter needed to attach an iwata neo/eclipse?
Could you try it with your better airbrush just to test see if the compressor is strong enough so the next upgrade for anyone who buys it can be just aibrush and the whole airbrushing set/system. Thank you.
I guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot the password. I love any tips you can offer me
@Peyton Emmitt instablaster =)
@Alberto Camilo thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Alberto Camilo It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
@Peyton Emmitt You are welcome :)
What do you thin the testors enamel with? I have tons of that stuff laying around which i usually use for hand-brushing, but i'd love to be able to airbrush it as well.
Thin it with regular lacquer thinner
Will that compressor work with that "cheap" Harbor Freight airbrush you bought for $10 and tested in January? I like that airbrush with bottles better than the one in this video with its tiny paint pot.
I believe it will. I have seen where people have used Iwatas etc
How does it work for priming minis?
Do you have any recommendations for a adapter?
Hey, I just got this airbrush and compressor. Do you have any recommended routine for cleaning the AB between colors or after a paint session? I am using Vallejo and Reaper MSP acrylics.
Don't use alcohol to clean out Vallejo ever. It clumps it up. Use steaming hot water. Watch my video here on how to clean Vallejo from your airbrush.
th-cam.com/video/bryQvFy0wXI/w-d-xo.html
Question! How much did you thin to get paint to flow best with one of these? I've read that somehow using 50% thinner was the way to go, but my first instinct is to think that that's way, way too much?
At least 50/50 when it comes to lacquers. 40/60 paint to thinner is actually a better starting point. Acrylics are different, it's harder to peg down an exact amount cause every brand of acrylic is a different thickness.
