Hi Phil. Sorry to hear you are disappointed with your purchase. I ordered and received today the exact same Airbrush kit only in black. I've just used it to spray mixed metallic auto paint on my Land Rover with stone chips and was amazed at the result. It's the first time I've used an airbrush and I was a little apprehensive and praticed first. Brilliant result. I'll add the clear coat tomorrow. I looked at many kits on eBay, Amazon and Aliexpress so held my breath when I ordered this one. I'm happy and her indoors is happier! So far anyway! LOL! Good luck. Cheers from OZ. 🙂👍
Thanks Phil, shame it's a little bit late! I bought one just before Christmas and thought to test it this week on a model, I guess it's going to be a interesting paperweight then!!
Such a shame you've not come back to this. I watched your video this morning, having already purchased and tested the two-battery version of this portable airbrush. Before using it, I had a basic training session with a professional model painter I know. I learned the basics of airbrushing, including correctly preparing the paint and cleaning the device afterwards, which the included instructions gloss over. You alluded to both and indeed dismantled the airbrush to clean it. I then had a go with a traditional setup on a compressor before having a go with this kit. My results using both setups were very comparable! Interestingly, so were my son's, who has a minor fine motor control disability. My tutor then had a go with this kit and was very pleasantly surprised at not only the controllability and features but the availability of spares. He's even going to get one so that he doesn't have to dismantle his station to work on the layout at his club. I encourage you to have another look. Nobody I've spoken to who has one and uses it - two separate but very important criteria when asking opinion - has had the experience you've had and attributed it to the airbrush. I have no affiliation with the company other than as a customer who's invested an amount I was willing to write off if it turned out to be rubbish. My experience differs from yours, in fact it's the other end of the spectrum, and I think as an influencer you've been a little unfair in issuing a cursory review a year ago and not revisiting it as suggested.
Thanks for the video. Have you tested the mini-compressor with a decent airbrush (e.g., your Iwata)? I am wondering whether it is worth purchasing such a kit for the convenience of the compressor coupled with a good brush.
They are not all made equal. Some have higher psi than others. Enamels are a heavier body paint which needs more psi and a larger needle - not something sold for makeup application. Bit of a lucky dip unless you search for "32 psi portable airbrush" - then you might get one that can do 20psi which mine does.
hello, one question, as long as you don't press the button, no air should come out? in my airbrush, when I turn it on, air already comes out even without pressing the button, ...... is it possible that it does not work well? Thank you
You are correct. Sounds like you have a faulty airbrush. It might be the button is jammed slightly on, maybe stripping it down and cleaning it out will help?
I'm curious, could you fit the compressor to a different airbrush, via an adaptor or hose? If it's possible and it's only the actual airbrush that's junk, then you may still have some use for it.
Same as Chinese amateur radios, utter junk. There are some good equipment that comes from China but its few and far between. There's no substitute for quality, and its certainly not plagiarized crap. Chinese Kung fu and martial arts are the best. 😉

Hey thanks for that. I just bought one...never used airbrush before so hopefully I get great results like you👍
I suspect the quality of the tool varies a bit more than it does with the big brands. Maybe I got a duff one?

The speckle effect could actually be useful in some cases to model the squashed flies on the front of locomotives/units in the summer.

I have one and it's perfect 👌

How is it working now after a year?considering to buy one as. Beginner for gunpla painting
I love comment after opening the compressor and closing it up again - "still works..."
Yours works better than the one they sent me, mine just pumps out air at full pressure even without the trigger being pulled.
So my comment above Gavin. Cheers, Chris.
The one I've got is brilliant... No splatter at all... But I paid extra and got a good one
What size is thread on the battery. Thanks.

Thank you. You have convinced me not to buy one.

I'll have a go at this. However, it's the compressor that makes this useful, I've got several airbrushes and wouldn't recommend this just for the gun.
I bought mine last dec but Im not impress and satisfied with the performance and its expensive also.
I regret buying this airbrush.thought im the onLy one. TiLL i saw this vid. Its kinda dissapointing actuaLLy but i cant return it anymore
