This product is amazingly good. Easy to set-up and use. Covers the model well and with great precision. An absolute bargain. Highly recommended

I used to airbrush paintings and crash helmets several years ago, had a lot of very expensive equipment that was unfortunately lost in a fire and I just never bothered going back to it all until recently.I don't intend to do airbrush stuff on the same scale as I did before and am now more into model making/painting my own 3d printed creations, so wanted something cheap, but not so entry level that I would outgrow it too soon. This set won the pick from a range of other starter kits simply because the compressor looked to be a bit more robust than the others and the airbrush itself looked to be of fairly good quality.So far I've not been disappointed. The compressor, although a diaphragm type and not having a reservoir, actually gives quite a good airflow and doesn't pulse like I thought it would. The downside is that even though it's not really noisy, it runs all the time due to having no tank. Eventually I will probably replace this with another compressor with a reservoir as that would still be cheaper than buying an external tank + regulator, but for now this is going to do the job just fine.The airbrush is a reasonably well made dual action that even comes with 3 extra needles/nozzles of different sizes, something I didn't even get with a £150+ Badger airbrush!I haven't had the chance to try the smallest size needle to see how it does detail work yet, but from just a few trial runs with the standard needle I think it will probably be fairly good. The only things I think would complete this set, would be a set of cleaning needles and a quick connect for the hose.Again, I expect I'll probably buy upgraded brushes in time as well, but in all this set is an ideal starting platform.Other that that I would def recommend this set to others and have already done so in various model making/3D printing groups online!

I bought this kit mostly for priming models. Initially I had a lot of issues with clogging.On investigation I discovered that thinning my primer was the cause as the thinner evaporates quickly leaving a crusty residue - I changed from using thinner to using just water with a small amount of washing up liquid to thin my paint (one drop in 100ml of water and shake)The difference is astounding - no more clogging and paint flows well covering models quickly with 0.5mm nozzle fitted - having reduce surface tension due to the detergent in the water makes the paint cover evenly.In the pic shown, the base has had 2 coats and the dragon has had one coat - looking good.The pump seems good and I have had no problems with it.

Fantastic value for money, well designed and thought out, this has been invaluable in my miniature painting with the added benefit that I can use the unit 'dry' as a blower to remove excess resin from my 3D prints prior to printing and excess water after washing and before curing.This entire package cost me less than I paid for just an airbrush over 40 years ago, and it is far superior as well!

This is my first attempt at getting into airbrushing and this is the 2nd airbrush I have tried. The first airbrush I bought was also a bundled kit, but one that was half the size of this unit. I bought it for (mostly) spraying miniatures or having a go at some air brush art. The first unit really struggled to get any paint flowing through it, I had to reduce the viscosity quite a bit to get anything useful to spray though…so it went straight back. Then I looked for a more powerful unit and took a gamble on this one.Straight out of the box you can tell it’s a far superior compressor, the fact it has a pressure gauge on it certainly helps. I had it assembled within minutes and had paint flowing through it as I hoped it would. Success!As others have mentioned it is very quite when it runs, the air tank really doent hold enough extra capacity to keep the airbrush running, so the motor is always running…but its that quiet you don’t really notice it.The Airbrush itself is adequate, I am sure in time I will invest in a better one, once I understand what "better" is.The only negative I have for the whole experience is the temperature. It gets HOT! I used it on and off for 30-40 mins, and it was uncomfortable to the touch. I don’t know if that is normal, but the inclusion of a small fan would help…something I may look to set up (manually) at a later time if I think it becomes a problem.All that said I would highly recommend this as a purchase based on my initial experience.

Works perfectly well. Seems of good quality. Will check back in once I’ve had several years use..
