- Gaahleri X Studio G’s Swallowtail Airbrush unboxing and review
Gaahleri X Studio G sent me their new Swallowtail Airbrush to try out and see what I think. Well, I have to say that this is a grand slam home run of an airbrush. It has a redesigned trigger that fits my hand very comfortably. The jet cover and needle protector are both larger, making it easier to take off and put back on. The back needle cover is also redesigned. It’s slimmer and open to reduce weight. Lastly the hand grip is redone giving more room for my large fingers to fit comfortably on the grip. It comes with two cups and three needle sizes. A .28mm, a .5mm, and a huge .7mm. I took it to the spray booth and fell in love. Check out the video to see how nice this sprays.

Yesterday I search for reviews on Harbor Freight's/Central Pneumatic airbrush combo. I found Barbatos Rex and my teenage love for model cars was re-ignited. Today I found your channel and you both have a new subscriber.
The reason for searching airbrush reviews is for airbrushing leather dye. It saves so much more dye over dip or sponge dyeing and it is much smoother when done right. Also the dye colors can be layered for different shades and faded/feathered in/out to another color. Well the Harbor Freight combo kit is off the table. LOL. My first airbrush and compressor will be the Swallowtail and the amazon timbertech 3L tank compressor. If I am gona start I am not going to get "crappy" stuff. 🤷♂️
Well, sorry this blab is sooo looong, but Thank You for sharing your hobby. I look forward to watching all of your vids. 👍👍😁😁😁
Thanks for the sub. I know you will like that Swallowtail. It is so easy to use, but even more importantly, it's easy to clean too.
The only issue I have, and it's not with the Airbrush itself, is that they did this airbrush in collaboration with Barbatos Rex and THEN turned around and used the same version and called it the Studio G. They're the same airbrush.
Yeah, I'm not sure what that was all about.
Great video from Mark again. A clear and very nice deep voice that is easy on my old ears. And no annoying background music. Love it!
Super nice and thorough presentation.
If you still have questions after this video, you werent paying attention.
Thanks Mark, from a fellow grandpa in Norway 😄
You just made my day. I try to be thorough, sometimes to a fault. LOL Thank you again, and I've always wanted to go to Norway.
A very good unboxing and test of the new airbrush! 😊
Thank you very much.
Good video Mark. Nice to see how you are basically teaching others how "practice" is what gives you better results, not just the airbrush. From my experience everyone needs to find the airbrush that is the best "fit" for them. I own 8 and even with the same paint I can get good or lesser results depending on the atomization and needles. These Gaahleri airbrushes are prefect for the model builder.
I try and promote practicing to improve. I use them a lot, and I still grab cardboard every now and then just to keep in practice doing tight lines and things like that. When you find an airbrush like these you tend to grab for them all the time. They spray so smoothly it's not even funny. I have an airbrush shelf with everything from Harbor Freight to Bosh, and I've been grabbing the Gaahleri every time now. Not only do they spray smooth as glass, but they clean up so darn easy.
Have a great day, and thanks for following along.
Thank you for sharing this review. I have one on order and now, I can't wait to receive it. You definitely earned a new subscriber here. Thanks again!
Thank you very much. You are going to love this airbrush. It is so nice to use, and so easy to clean. Just a joy to have.
Man that thing looks ridiculously nice. I love my 68 and my 39. The updates on that swallowtail are so nice. I use my middle finger a lot while painting with the gun at work. Try it out. Your index finger can steady your hand a bit too.
I really like this one. It's a lot easier to handle and clean. I love my 68 and my 96 too. Honestly I love them all. I tried using my middle finger today and like how it feels. I felt a lot more steady.
@@grandpamarkshobbies definitely going to be one I consider if I decide on another airbrush.
Great video Mark! Now Gaahleri has a fan nozzle for this. 👏👏👏

Auburn, WA.
I saw that. Not sure if it's in stock or not.
I can't wait for mine to get here
Nice, which one did you order?
@@grandpamarkshobbies the swallow tail and I have the ghad 69 too
You are going to love that Swallowtail. It is so smooth.
WOW Mark!!! Looks like an awesome brush. Thanks for showing it off. A 7 ! Need to be sprayin' something real big I'm thinking or some heavy primer.. 5 is the biggest I"ve used. Glad I didn't buy the 68 yet. Now I'm glad this new one came out. Got to get me one of these. Love the colors too. So many nice things about it. Thanks again Mark. Great video too by the way.
Oh hey - They sent you a compressor too I see. How about showing that off? They are being good to you man. Have you mentioned that yet? If you did my brain isn't remembering it. Happy they see your talents in demos.
It sure is a nice brush. I was messing around with it and the .7mm tip today. I think that will be my body needle for now on. It sprays so evenly that I think it will smooth out my tendency to fight the zebra stripes. LOL The black chrome and red do look great don't they.
Gaahleri has been VERY good to me. I will be honest with you, if I didn't like the product I wouldn't sing the praises, but these airbrushes are so sweet, and the people I've delt with are awesome. It's so nice to see a company that truly cares about the customer and making sure they get quality products.
@@grandpamarkshobbies God d---!!! I did it again! Whipped it all out again. It was a long one too. Shit!
Well I'll never go back to a normal brush again - I don't think. The trigger brush it the best for me Mark. It sure is an eye catching brush. Your makin me want one even more now. I hope you get a better piece of the action! LOL
Hey anyway - I was checkin out these new "normal" brushes that you can twist around to use a bottom suction, side suction and then a gravity feed. Now if they could make that happen with their pistol grip, I think they could corner the market with options like that. Mention it to your "people" at Gaahleri. LOL again. I kind of hate the way they spell gallery. Hard for my brain to remember it. LOL
Well I think I got it all down. Better quit while I'm ahead here. LOL
LOL. I do that all the time. It seems that now that I have the pistol grip airbrushes I'm grabbing the other ones less and less. Don't get me wrong, they work great on small stuff, and I can cut a tight line with them, but for car bodies I'm going to grab the pistol grip with the biggest needle I can get. This new Gaahleri is leaps and bounds better than the older model. Well worth the cost. It sprays about the same, but is so darn easy to clean, and it just feels good in the hand. I will bring up the swivel for the pistol grip to them. Thanks for following along.
Thanks for the review I ordered one can't wait to use it.
You will love it. Such a great airbrush.
Great review, that looks like a very nice brush.
Thank you very much. I used it again yesterday, and that .7mm is so nice. I can't wait to use it on a car body.
I have a 68 and really like a lot of things about it, but have a heck of a time with tip dry when using Mission Models and AK Gen3 paints. Do not have any tip dry issue with my other airbrushes. Nothing i try helps. Very frustrating. Great review, nice job, thanks.
I had that problem with one of my other airbrushes using MM. I got some retarder and it worked great. Now I use Tamiya's paints with retarder and they also flow great. I've never used Mission Models or AK, so I'm not sure, but it's worth a try to see if they have a retarder. The new jet's atomize the paints so much more than anything I've ever used that it may be that that is causing your paint to dry on the tip like that.
@@grandpamarkshobbieswhat retarder do you use with tamiya paint and how much?
Depending on how much paint I'm using between six and ten drops. My basement is dry as a bone, so most of the time I'm adding eight.
Thanks for the help. Haven't had time lately for much modeling, I will try this and report back. Agree with the very good atomization being the variable here.
It is one of the best spraying airbrushes I've ever used.
nice airbrush.
Thanks. It sure is.
Damn! Them are sausage fingers!
I just bought this airbrush today. It's already on the way. I can't wait to use it!
What air pressure were you using for each size needle?
OOOOOOO you are going to be soooo happy!!! I do have sausage fingers. LOL I usually spray Tamiya paints. And after thinning I spray right around 18 psi, and that works plus or minus a few pounds for all three needles.
Thank you :)@@grandpamarkshobbies
Airbrush looks nice, hope its perfect for your needs.
Thanks. It is perfect for what I do.
Great looking airbrush.
It sure is. I love using it. So much easier to clean.
I was looking at that on the website and thinking Xmas! 🎄😆 Yes before you ask the 98D is still on the table... 😁
I will say i'm a bit jealous by the way it sprays. Oh, you could have used my name no worrys. The customer service is awesome and I got the replacement ASP...
Awesome video!
LLAP 🖖
I think you will love it. I hate using names. LOL Thanks again.
@@grandpamarkshobbies Hahaha, I did make a video so it is already out there... 🎥 🤣
LLAP 🖖
I think I see one of these in my future! When funds allow of course.
I know you won't be sorry. I've only used it a few times now, and I absolutely love it. Thanks for following along.
Hi Mark, not sure if you’re aware of the unique design of the Tamiya paint jars. When it comes to thinning Tamiya acrylic paints, their jars have this indentation and the reason for this is that it creates an illusion. If you look inside the jar this gives an imaginary line and all you have to do is pour the thinner to that line and you’ll have the perfect paint to thinner ratio.
Thank you. I did know that, but I use the same paint that I spray with to brush paint, and it get's too thin for that. I will let everyone know that when I do my next video.
I have 4 airbrushes and I wish I would’ve just gotten this single one instead.
It is such a great airbrush.
Have you tested the resistance of the handle to lacquer thinner? My experience with the StudioG Swallowtail is lacquer thinner attacks the polymer handle, making it soft and sticky, Just curious if my experience is unique. I contacted Gaahleri and their response was "thanks for letting us know, we'll take it under advisement."
I only use acrylics so I can't help you there, but I will ask the group and see if anyone else has had a problem.
What's the difference between this and the Barbatos Rex they sell?
I am sorry, I do not know that.
The Barabatos Rex version that just released is the same with a redesigned triggered.
How does this compare to with Bar. Rex version they released
The only difference that I know is it has a different color handle. It is a fantastic airbrush.
Serious Equipment!
You should stop over and give it a try sometime. It's a blast.
I have the original pistol grip Gaahleri airbrush. Do you know if the 0.7 needle will fit?
Unfortunately they do not have a nozzle cap that will fit. I'm not sure if they will offer that or not.
Hello! Thank you for this amazing review. I wanna ask cause I have both. My GHAD 68 has a biting point on the trigger for the paint to come out but on my my Swallowtail, I don't feel any resistance on the trigger so I can't tell if I'm pressing just the air or with the paint.
I think mine has a biting point on it. I will check it tonight when I get home and let you know.
@grandpamarkshobbies thank you thank you 🙏
When I came home tonight I ran down stairs to check, and mine does have a spot where you can feel the air transition to the paint, but it is not as noticeable as the 68. I wonder if you take it apart and grease it. I have a video that shows you how to do that. It could just be a little tight still.
@grandpamarkshobbies thank you thank you for checking it out. I really appreciate it. So I'm deducing that it's just a feature difference between the two. I was just freaking out if mine was broken. It's a matter of getting used to I guess and overall the swallowtail does perform excellent!! You just earned a subscriber! Thank you for keeping my request in mind ♥️
You are very welcome. Thanks for subscribing. It was bugging me all day, so when I came home I said "Hi, I'll be right back" to the wife and ran straight down the steps to check. LOL Hope you have a great day.
$119 - not too bad !!!🤔
No, not at all. Honestly it's the best brush I've ever used.
@@grandpamarkshobbies Hey if I mention your name would I get like 20% off? LOL
That doesn't work, but if you follow the link in the description there are sales on a lot of things.
First time buyers get 20 percent of which I have discovered
Made in china?😳
Full throttle?🤣
Jman
Yes, it's made in China. As with everything else anymore. But I have to say, I've taken these totally apart (even before I've used them) and being a machinist by trade, that the thread fit, and overall finish is outstanding. The polish on the needles is so nice that I wouldn't even try and polish them by hand. I didn't even realize I said "Full Throttle" until I was editing the video. I cracked myself up. LOL
