I was so looking forward to test this ! Had to return the first order because items were missing from the pack. It took a week to get the refund so I can re order. And again items were missing ( the cleaning brushes.. so annoying to re return again so I kept it and bought brushes on the side). Anyway I used G22 and G25 brushes twice. And G22 broke on the second time. Paint was not coming out, so refering to the manual I decided to unscrew the nose cover to expose the nozzle chuck. With the mini wrench provided I started to gently unscrew it.... and the metal just broke. The screw broke in its socket. So the airbrush is now dead. Pretty disappointed. I did not expect high quality for that price but at least a descent fabrication. I will keep the pack for the compressor but now I can not paint as I need to pay for a new brush.

I purchased this kit to airbrush some 8" models with my daughter. I haven’t done this since I was a kid, and just wanted a fairly inexpensive setup for our needs.

TLDR: Very happy with the purchase. Does exactly what we want, was up and running within minutes, and performs exactly as we need for small model painting. If I was doing anything bigger/grander, this may not be the kit I would choose. Then again I’d be looking at more professional equipment.

More detail: The box arrived as if I just picked it up from a store. The box was closed, but no exterior shipping box, and it wasn’t taped shut. That said, everything arrived in perfect condition. Other than the compressor, everything comes in its own case/sleeve. The starter kit of acrylics, thinner, and cleaner solution is a nice touch.

Don’t expect a lot of performance from the compressor. It’s quiet, has a gauge, regulator, and moisture trap. When turned on it caps out around 60 PSI and stops (does not run continuously when not in use). The regulator is a cheaper plastic version that you pull the nob to unlock, turn to the desired setting, then push to lock in place. It works well enough and is expected at this price point. When spraying, it can keep a consistent 25-30 PSI. This is fine for the paints I’m using. I figure if I need more consistent pressure at a higher PSI, I’ll pop this on my larger pancake compressor and reserve tank (where I have a better regulator, etc).

Took about 20 minutes from unboxing until we were starting our first model. Expect to play with the compressor settings and the airbrush to tune it to where you can feel comfortable to start on a project. In our case we started with the G22 and needed to adjust (as expected) the needle until the desired flow was achieved. We were playing with some acrylic we purchased from a local store, and had to play with thinning it to the right consistancy too. We practiced on a piece of cardboard until we felt it was setup well enough, then got to work.

If we were using this on a more regular basis, or larger projects, I would definitely look to a more professional kit. If you’re like me, and you just want a simple setup for the occasional model, 3D print, and other small objects, then this kit may be worth a try.

This kit comes with everything you would ever want to start airbrushing. It comes with 3 different airbrush styles. So you can see which type of airbrush gun you would like to work with. The air compressor comes with a water trap and is quiet. So you can use it at all hours of the day. It comes with a sample of colors and a color chart to guide you how to mix the colors to make a larger color palette.

If you want to get into airbrushing, especially for your resin models, I would suggest starting with this kit. It is literally plug-and-play. I have a larger compressor and better airbrush guns, but I still find myself using this entire kit. It is small and quick to pull out and start using. You will not be disappointed with this kit.

Good for beginners. Could be a little easier to learn how to use and clean. Compressor could be better. But for the price the set is a fairly decent option

This thing is GREAT.

Now, this is a day-one review from someone who has never touched an airbrush before. I do a variety of hobbies and most of them require painting. I got pretty good with acrylic paints and small brushes, but I've always wanted to use a medium that doesn't result in brush strokes. I like using spray paint for this reason on larger projects, but smaller projects always proved difficult. Thus began my hunt for an entry-level airbrush kit. This was a birthday present to myself, and it came in on my birthday! I spent about 10 minutes unboxing the kit and looking around at everything. I plugged in the air hose, plugged in the compressor, attached the airbrush stands, and I examined the three airbrushes that came with the kit. I picked one of the pre-assembled fine-point airbrushes, plugged it into the hose, and added about 5 drops of red paint to the cup.

As my finger depressed the trigger and slid it backwards slightly, THE PAINT STARTED FLOWING! I was airbrushing! I made a series of dots, lines, scribbles, and I even wrote my name. I tried some feathery, fluffy lines, and some super fine tight lines.

I moved my airbrush over to one of my active projects and let the paint flow! Nope, I didn't do so hot and I screwed it all up. No worries, I'll get it all fixed up and ready for my next round of airbrushing.

This is something you will need to practice with, and I look forward to playing with it. The compressor is super quiet (it can wobble around the table a little if it isn't sitting flat). This kit is super easy to setup and use. It works great.

A couple notes. The paint is water-based and ready to spray. HOWEVER, be aware of what you are painting on if you expect vibrant colors. One of my projects was primed grey, and the airbrushed paint looks dull and semi-transparent. I may have to give it 5 or 10 coats to build up a comparable level of coverage as brush-based acrylic painting. OR, just prime your surface WHITE instead, and that should help the vibrancy of the paints.

Cleanup took 2 minutes. I used the included brush cleaner, which worked fine, but I also used warm water since this is all water based paints. I also bought this cleaning pot, which worked like a charm! I would highly recommend this, as you need to spray a good amount of cleaner or water through the brush to make sure everything is out.

This kit was $150 and came with a ton of stuff. I think this is fantastic! I can't wait to try out all the brushes, paint colors, compressor PSI settings, etc. Well worth the money.

Only time will tell if it will hold up. I'm not a full-time artist or airbrusher. If I use this a couple times per month, or a few hours per month, that's probably a lot for me. We shall see. I'm super excited that it arrived and works as advertised! :-)

I didn’t dislike anything, worth every penny! I’m a total beginner and has tried other guns but until I got this kit I wasn’t able to airbrush very well now I can spell names and use stencils.

I bought this to design my own finger nails. The pressure is a little strong for the paint going on nails nut it works. Is easy to clean
