Thinking of getting using Airbrush


Recommended Posts

As the title says really, Thinking of getting one for priming and basecoating, possibly a little bit of highlighting, to help increase my model output!

 

was looking at the neo air kit for iwata which here in the UK is around £160 for compressor and airbrush.

 

however ive just found this on offer..

should be £100 but is half price, anyone have any experience with this brand or advice on this?!

Iwata is a great brand. I have an Eclipse, and whilst I've barely used it, just handling it gives you an idea of the quality.

 

I wouldn't buy it as your first though. Get a cheaper one to practice with- it's a sad fact of life that you WILL ruin your first airbrush. Everybody does.

Just started using one myself, got a KMoon from ebay. Tale of Painters did a review on it and it was very positive especially for the price at the time.

 

It has made priming much quicker and smoother, however cleaning it afterward is a pain in the backside :lol:

Iwata has great brushes, you can't go wrong with one of those. EDIT: I was mistaken, I thought I had an Iwata Revolution, but it was a H&S Evolution. Can't help you there.

Destroying your first brush isn't always true, I'm still using my first one, and I abused it plenty when learning the basics. Just don't start with the 0,2mm needles.

 

I wouldn't use a compressor like that though, have a tank is much better for extended sessions.
