We have the excellent Revell Starter Airbush kit now in stock.

 

 

Airbrushing really is the smoothest technique for applying colour to any substrate. Perfect colouring and special effects can only be achieved with an airbrush. The reason for this versatility is that with airbrushing one never comes into contact with the substrate and the most difficult and uneven surfaces can be painted accurately with an airbrush.

The Starter Class Airbush Set is an uncomplicated and inexpensive spray gun for beginners. Using the ESB principle. E = External Mix, that is external mixing principle; S = Single Action, that is only the air supply is controlled with the control lever; B = Bottom Feed. Paint is fed from below via a screwed on container. Because the paint does not need to flow through a fine mechanism, thicker paint can be used than with an internal mix spray gun. In model-making achieving a flawless finish is important to the overall quality of your model. The spray gun set includes a compressed air hose, propellant regulator and pressurised air can. The propellant regulator linked to the air hose forms the connection between the pressure can and the spray gun.

For the Airbrush beginner, pressure gas from the spray can is a practical, and above all inexpensive, solution. A 200 ml can is good for about 8 minutes of continuous pressure.

 

The airbrush kit can be used with enamel and water based paint.

 

I personally use one of these starter airbush kits for painting my models using Xtracolor and Humbrol enamel paints.

 

The photo''s below show the quality of the finish you can achieve using this airbrush.

 

 

 

 

I have no reservation in recommending it this starter kit if you want to try airbrushing for the first time.
