SparmaxDual Action Gravity Airbrush, Other Material, Chrome, 0,4 mm

After buying a cheap airbrush (Aibecey, same as GAGA Milano and many others advertised under different names as far as I can see) , despite being warned not to, and that proved good advice, tried this.Researched a bit more but this came on the market as I've tried to arrange a replacement/refund. Watched a Youtube vid on this and rather than take the plunge to a basic Iwata or Badger (at £40+ more) I felt it was worth a go. After using higher and decidedly lower quality airbrushes it performs great. Not super fine but certainly very good. I have used mainly for priming a couple of model kits and final camouflage coats, all looking good to me. Cleaning is straightforward. Not a removable cup but only takes a short while longer to get clean (crucial to keeping these things functional). Really like the alternate end caps. A crown cap is good for detail but the plain one is better for a beginner, great for a "blowback" mix for acrylic paints thinned in the cup and for helping with efficient cleaning. Also am impressed that it has PTFE seals, they last longer and are resistant to solvent based paints. I like using enamel paint (got well over a hundred Revell/Humbroll-need using-save money!) but remember to thin them to a milky consistency before putting in the cup. So far so good. Hopefully will keep on working well. Highly recommend for beginners, like me. Look on Youtube for lots of fab hints and tutorials, has helped me hugely and increased the quality of the look of my model kits immensely. Practise and a keeping an airbrush clean makes for great results.Sadly as a postscript this airbrush performed poorly- despite being cleaned well throughout use blocked regularly and requires stripping, disappointed after a few months good service.

Easy to use, comfortable handling. The cleaning is as with my previous airbrush, so it's a straightforward process. I just had to adapt my finger control to the paint feeding, since the 0,4 mm nozzle is a very paint-eater element, compared to the smaller gauge nozzles I used before. The general quality improvement from my cheaper previous airbrushes is remarkable. Happy with the value for the money.

The best airbrush you'll find at this price, it's really well made and performs very well .

This airbrush has got to be the best beginner Airbrush I've ever used. Simply put the quality is brilliant for a beginner, the paint flows so nicely from this airbrush compared to a cheap chinese one, the trigger is so smooth theres no dragging or tension it's very smooth and slick. Cleaning the pot is super easy compared to chinese ones, all the paint leaves the pot when spraying all you need is to add a bit of water and some airbrush cleaner and all residue just leaves so easily through the needle. And it's just over £50 literally £25 more than a cheap, terrible knockoff, that extra £25 gives you reassurance, quality, and ease of mind when painting. Couldnt reccomend this more wish I had found this sooner, no joke.

I have been using a cheap beginners airbrush (Expo) for about 6 years and struggled from the start getting it to work consistently.The Sparmax worked first time out of the box. It's a good beginners or intermediate airbrush.The 0.4mm nozzle is probably more forgiving and the generally good build quality of the airbrush makes easier to use and clean.It just looks and feels better than my old airbrush.The needle also looks like a better machined product than in a cheaper model, in combination with the nozzle I think this helps to make sure the flow of paint is smooth.

I have been using airbrushes for many years for painting my o gauge railway models, for which I use enamels thinned about 50/50 with white spirit at around 20 psi. I have found the airbrush performs extremely well and is easy to clean.

I used it for spraying a model car 1/2 scale, it made a big difference to the cheaper spray guns i received with the compressor. Well pleased.

after playing with cheap imports, I got fed up with poor quality, and finally bit the built and bought this.what a good move, the quality is almost instantly noticeable in the finish (if you have a good regulated air supply)i'm no expert airbrusher, but just spending time getting used to controlling it (it takes a lot of practice) but hey, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it.
