After watching your video✌️👍😊I've just spent an hour or so, testing various scenarios with this compressor (I have the same Oasser compressor). I dusted off my Paasche H (an ancient external mix single action airbrush - great work horse for base coats, primers and single coat weathering), found a hose adaptor (not great) and tested some spray patterns with my Oasser portable/cordless, diaphragm compressor. Both the Paasche and my charming PremiAir G35 (basically a Sparmax/Neo/Iwata - a delight, smooth too - not up to Harder & Steenbeck standards but a super little airbrush) and the compressor coped with them and the compressor cut off still worked via button triggers on both airbrushes👍👍👍😊 So that means that with my Harder & Steenbeck airbrushes, and, at a push, my Sparmax GP50 (except my hoopy Sparmax "Flyer" as it needs 35psi iirc), this compressor works with every airbrush that I own. I hope that helps - you can use most airbrushes with this compressor so it would seem🤞✌️👍😊
Hello, glad you like the video and found it helpful. Good luck with it, if you’ll have any questions don't hesitate to ask. I’ll try my best to help if you'll need it)
A really thorough instructional video. It's very reassuring for a complete beginner and is a fair review of the product as a whole. Thank you very much! 👍
Great video and demo - thank you ✌️😊 I've seen others state that the airbrush isn't bad at all for the price point. I needed a cheaper cordless diaphragm compressor but didn't want to splash out on the big brand versions (which are not without their problems). I have two larger compressors (still relatively small) with receivers but wanted something for quiet indoor use for low PSI work and something that was portable. I had this company's tyre inflator and whilst it's readouts are not perfect it works well and is easy to use. I've found this little compressor similar in that it has a few operational quirks but works well, up to about 20psi. I've yet to try the airbrush as I have others, but will keep it as a standby 🤔😊👍✌️
That’s an excellent review, thanks) How do you find it after some time of use? Also do you think it could be possible to upgrade the airbrush using the same compressor (you have mentioned this in the video, but I just thought you could maybe give more detailed answer)? Thanks in advance
Thank you. The airbrush is generally working pretty fine, just making sure to well clean it after each use (also being careful with a needle). In terms of the upgrade, I haven’t tried it myself as currently don’t use airbrush that much, so the initial one is more than enough for me at the moment. But in terms of the quality/reliability and ease of cleaning of the airbrush, something like Iwata eclipse (or any other popular branded model) certainly could be a good upgrade. It should generally work fine, in some of the reviews on the internet people have tried it and generally there were no issues. In my opinion the portability (the compact size and inner battery) of the airbrush is a strong side, as while working with more toxic paints for example you could potentially just go anywhere outside with it and paint there. In the future you could also upgrade the compressor for something more powerful (if needed) and keep the oasser as a secondary or that portable option. Hope that was any helpful)
I think that any of the Iwata, Sparmax, Harder & Steenbeck type airbrushes will be fine with this compressor. I'm sure that those from Hobbynox and Spraycraft would work too. I'm going to try my ancient external mix single action Paasche H airbrush with it soon too. Most airbrushes that will work down to 15-20psi should be okay. Iirc there is a switch off facility offered with the compressor and supplied airbrush so I'm not sure if that would work with all types of airbrush but those I've mentioned seemed okay when used by myself or others. I hope that helps🤔😊👍✌️
Thank you for the very informative review. I don't have any experience and I was thinking of getting a rechargeable hand held airbrush that uses no hose because they seem very beginner friendly but no brand seems reliable, this seems like a good purchase however for beginners so I ordered this one.
Thank you for your feedback. I would probably not recommend buying cordless airbrush sets, as they generally have very low power output (in this case low working pressure) and as I was saying in the video air hose in many cases helps to reduce the pulsations from the air compressor, which makes air flow more constant (that should result in more even paint coverage). This particular airbrush set should be quite good for the beginners, and also in the future if you enjoy airbrushing you could upgrade the airbrush for something better while keeping the same air compressor. If you would have any questions regarding the airbrush don’t hesitate to ask.
I've got this compressor and one of their tyre inflators, quirky features and readouts etc, but, thus far they work well. I've not used the supplied airbrush but several have stated that it works well. The compressor seems to work well with several brands of airbrushes. What sort of airbrushing do you need to do, perhaps I could guide you through what might help you?🤔😊👍✌️
@@musoseven8218 Have you tried to use the compressor (from this set) with some other branded airbrushes? How did it perform? I actually wanted to try and get a better airbrush while keeping the same air compressor, at least for the first time.
Hello, thank you. In the specifications it says working pressure is ranging across 2-15psi (there are three pressure mods available: low, middle and high, but within them there is no marking on how many psi is each mode). I would assume that the high mode would be those 15 psi. I usually use high mode, but that’s because I tend to mix paints a bit thicker. If would like to, there are some more footages of painting with this airbrush in my most recent video (that spider-man figure).
@@RightCrafted.VS02 hey there, takes for your response, ill get a look at that. I’m using a Neat&Handy mini which has only one setting and i have difficulty spraying Vallejo Model Air with it, cheers.
Hi. Ideally you should use special cleaning fluid for airbrushes, Vallejo has such. But I have tried vodka for this, and it worked fine. Vodka has around 40% of alcohol, so it does solve the paint but not too aggressive to damage the rubber seals in the airbrush. Also it does’t have any strong unpleasant smell and you don’t need a lot of it to fully clean the airbrush. Alternatively, you can use rubbing alcohol (such as isopropyl), but it would be good to dilute it with distilled water if that’s the pure alcohol. Lastly you can try to use just water if these were water based paints (better distilled water), but that might be little less effective. Hope this was helpful.
I would advise to get one (I’ve got one myself). It generally depends on where you live because if your climate is dry then there shouldn’t be issues while airbrushing. But I would prefer to have one just in case as it also filters out some dust.
Hello! Thank you. To be honest an airbrush is just a tool as any regular brush or any other working tool. I would say that it isn’t something necessary to have but turns out to be quite useful and eventually you would probably like to try it. It’s main advantage is that it allows to apply very thin and even layers of paint without leaving any marks (as regular brushes sometimes tend to do). Also, when you master an airbrush (it requires learning and practising) you could make some cool painting effects such as different soft colour transitions, gradients, shading, lightening and so on (which could be impossible to make with a regular brush). Overall, an airbrush does help to improve the overall quality of painting, especially on larger areas of coverage, so it is quite useful as for the standing modelism, painting clay figures or any other kind of customisation and crafting works.
Thank you so much! my brother sent me an airbrush kit out of the blue, but I don't think the little compressor is working well with it. I can't seem to get any paint out ever, an I keep thinning it. :( I'm hoping this might be helpful. I have a lot of 3D prints to paint! lol
@@RightCrafted.VS02 Thing is, I have no clue if I'm thinning my paints correctly, if it's the little air compressor, if it's the airbrush itself...or just me. I'm totally new to this. =/
Hello, thinning the paint is quite a big topic which involves a lot of different factors: what type of paints are used, which thinner, the airbrush/ air compressor itself… This is usually worked out by the trial and error and your practise and experience as you work with an airbrush, but I would highly recommend you to watch some of the basics/beginner youtube videos on airbrushing (things like how to start/some tips and so on). Something to check whether airbrush and air compressor are generally working, you could try to spray a bit of pure water (better it to be a distilled water as regular tap water may lead to a build up of limescale/coating on the inner parts of the airbrush) or you could also try to spray pure alcohol on a piece of paper, trying different compressor settings (if applicable) and so on. This could allow you to see how well and whether at all the airbrush is working itself and then try to investigate other aspects. Generally do not be afraid to experiment but do be careful with the airbrush as there are many fragile parts when you disassemble it for cleaning (needle/nozzle). Hope that helps a bit)
Hi! Is It good for a begginer, with little experience? I tried also spray cans but the results are not always as I would like! I started to do some static auto modellism! It is just for spent some time, for me, hobby activities! Thanks!
Hello! Generally, I would say yes- it is good for the beginners (I was pretty much a beginner myself when I got it). It is quite easy to get started with this airbrush kit and it is good for small to middle size projects (figures/cars/plane models….). If your models are big then you may want to get an airbrush with a larger nozzle (but for most of the cases this particular kit is pretty universal). With an airbrush you have a bit more control at the painting process than spray cans as you could regulate the pressure/flow/amount of paint sprayed so you might actually find it pretty useful but also airbrushing is also quite enjoyable itself. Let me know whether you have any more questions)
i want something cheap for just priming and putting the main base colours on. will this be good for that? also can you swap to a more expensive air brush if i ever upgraded? thanks
Hi, this might depend on what exactly you would like to prime and base coat (scale models, mini figures, props...), this should be fine for small to medium size models/stuff. However, it doesn't mean that you couldn't work with even larger areas/objects, it may take just more time and several passes to cover everything evenly. In terms of an airbrush upgrade, that shouldn't be any problem (but may depend on what nozzle/needle size is the brush). For larger nozzle sizes (like 0.5mm or larger) you would generally want to have a bit more powerful airflow/air pressure, but regular 0.3mm and less should be fine. Generally, this is a good option to start airbrushing- easy to use, compact, portable, relatively quiet and does the job. Eventually, you could upgrade for better airbrush and later get more powerful compressor if you would feel a need for that. Hope this helps)
@@RightCrafted.VS02thank you for your thorough reply. I’ve ordered one which is due tomorrow with a cleaning kit and some thinner. It will primarily be used for Warhammer size models for basing, if I get more comfortable with it then maybe some highlighting 😊
It does, since there is no built in moisture trap/filter. There are few links for a moisture trap in the description. The extent to which the moisture trap/ filter is necessary depends on how humid is the environment you are working in, but generally it is quite useful accessory. The “SAGUD” moisture traps seem to be good in terms of value/quality.
Hello, thanks for your comment. This is certainly a desirable option, as compressors with an air tank are generally more stable and give more even air flow. However, in most of the cases they are pretty big and expensive. The main benefit of this particular air compressor is the portability and quite a compact size, after you done working with it, you could easily pack it back into the box and the whole kit doesn't take much space in the room. This is really useful for occasional use of an airbrush. You could always upgrade for something better and more powerful if you enjoy airbrushing and would like to take it all seriously.
Hello! Did not quite get your question, if you are looking to buy such an airbrush kit as shown on the video (airbrush+compressor), then there is the amazon link for it in the description under the video. There are the UK and USA links, if you live somewhere else then you could try to search it in your local amazon store. Not sure whether they sell it anywhere apart from the amazon, but you could also try to search for it in your local google and find out whether there are any places to buy it somewhere else.
You could find the current pricing by going trough the link for this product, which is in the description under the video (it just all depends on where you live and whether there are any discounts available on it). At the time of recording it was generally quite affordable.
