Your statement at 26:04 really convinced me to buy the compressor with an air tank instead of that tank-less mini compressor. If one argues that the mini compressor is favorable for its portability, I just thought like "Actually, how many times will I move from my workspace? When will I ever use it outside?" Thank you very much for always being honest with the reviews, sir!
As always, you’re thorough and do an amazing job! Keep up the great content man. You and ItsAGundam are the only channels I watch for this one of my hobbies!
Nice tests. Thanks for trying it with the quality compressor for comparison. I have been toying with the idea of getting a Master or similar airbrush as a second gun. Maybe I'll save a bit more and pick up a Badger or Iwata.
I had the same issue as shadow silverlight did. I purchased a Master G233 and hose. I already had a compressor with tank. When I first tried out the G233 there was no airflow through the brush. I troubleshot the system and quickly determined that the air hose was the problem. Got that sorted out and the G233 is working great. No issues with airbrush!
Thanks for the test Rex. Just proves you get what you pay for. I have an equivalent of your tooty and used with your recommended procon boy platinum 289 and is my go to set up, all thanks to you. Just need a 0.5 brush now for primers and finish coats.
The G23 refers to the airbrush. I had bought the upgraded kit of the airbrush alone which is .2, .3, and.5 needles and it's the Master model G233. The .3 needle alone is the G23.
@@why_do_we_have_to_use_handles This was my first airbrush after picking up a used compressor for $40.... I purchased the kit with the three needle and nozzles. .2, .3 and. 5. So far I have no problems with it although my Neo for Iwata's trigger is smoother.
G'day m8..... on the odd occasion during your vids, i see sooooo many gunpla kits,.. of the good kind!! i get so jealous. Ive only about 30 kits best being my MG Tallgeese kit, and next an older Turn A kit.

Another great test.👍i really apreciate your work it saves money and time. Last week a had wow effect on my test. I bought a Harder and Steenbeck ultra airbrush and mounted it on my compressor. And without changing nothing on my setup there was the first effect, i had 0.3 bar more air pressure on this airbrush. So it means this cheap airbrush must have so many small leaks where the air is coming out, so in the end it makes a difference about 0.3 bar in working air pressure. 😕 thats Incredible.
The G23 is the airbrush. I have had one for about 2 years. You can buy a combo G233 which comes with 2, 3, & 5 needles. Also, you need to try one of Master Airbrush G33's. It has the new style needle style setup like the patriot 105. Masterairbrush has one of the BEST if not BEST customer support groups in the business. They are fantastic. You can also buy a minor or major repair kit for any of their airbrushes.

Hey Rex,good review of the air gun.I have one model g233,same as you tested but with two different sizes of needles.Went with this gun due to repair parts.Before i started using the air brush,I took out the needles and check for any warping.None on the warping and went lightly over with a 3200 grit sanding sponge.Then polished it.The brush works great with good atomization.You can get them from tcp global.They also have paint line,most auto paints and enamel paint for air brushing....digger
The compressor I have is one of those like you described at the start with the adapter cable. It came in a very cheap Ebay kit from China. I ended up getting a slightly less cheap airbrush pretty quickly after the one from the kit went to shit. O ring got messed up from thinner and it started leaking air from the sides and bubbling in the cup. I still use the compressor but it's probably going to die on me sooner or later. It does weird noises. Sometimes it start with a low noise and barely has any air coming out. I need to shake it or hit it and then it gets louder and push more air. For as long as it work I will keep it because I don't airbrush that much but I will definitely never get one of those black box with red button again.
I don't even bother with mini-compressors. For years I used a 3-gallon pancake Central Pneumatics from Harbor Freight which had now been relegated to purely shop work. Now I have a Timbertech tanked compressor that's giving me good service for the paint booth. I also have the Master G23 - got the G233 kit (adds a .2mm and .5mm needle, nozzle, head) and I've had good luck with it.
I recently bought a mini airbrush compressor with air brush called an Aeolian Pixie (?) by Hseng which cost the equivalent of $75. It's really rather good 👍
That's funny that you happened to do a review on this airbrush set. I just happened to find the model # kit-g23-22 at my airbase thrift shop for $6! The needle is slightly bent but I think I can straighten it out. It needs to be cleaned but for $6, I couldn't pass it up. I do have an Iwata and currently I'm using another €50 Airbrush pretty much like this one. Different design but basically the same type. It's worked for me although I did upgrade to a Air compressor with a tank. I figure it will serve as a backup.
@@barbatosrex9473 update: This airbrush is so much better than my other "economy" airbrush. I was able to straighten out the needle and now I have much more control than my other airbrush. Real good find!
“I don’t know if this thing will even spray water.” I laughed more than I should have when you said this. 😂 It seems that with the same amount of money, one would be better off buying the No-Name cordless air brush you previously reviewed. It’s portable compressor was able to spray at a good pressure.
Thank you for your time and effort! I would've loved for this to work...an easier portable setup would be great in some instances...but the compressor on this unit would leave me pissed and seeking a refund...thanks for reviewing!
This just saved me $150 because I have this airbrush kit and I was just about to go buy a very pricey one to replace it. I will be starting by buying a compressor instead now!
@@barbatosrex9473 any recommendations on where to shop? The website in your links is all sold out right now, and if I could buy in person that would be better atm
Urghhhh. Just spent $50 on a nearly identical product but mine is the g34 version. Looks like it’ll be fine for my first airbrush since it really only struggled a lot with the primer and I can just use a spray primer. if anything I can get a better compressor later on when I can afford one. Thanks so much for the review!
Before your video you can get started makes a good starter kit to air brushing but that's it. it's a good starter kit I want to be upgrading to a one gallon tank Is system here in the next month or
Oh yeah, I bought a kit like this to use with the gundam marker spraygun and I'm kinda tempted to go hunting again for a replacement o-ring for the compressed aircan attachment the pressure is so low on it.
I have a tooty (not the rooty tooty,) and the master g233 for multiple needle sizes. I'm getting pretty good results for a newer painter. I've sprayed stynylrez twice with it and it did really well diluted.
I recently got a product that looks basically the same. What I found out is that the hose is really leaky at the attachment points. So the pressure (manual says 25 psi) is completely lost at the airbrush. I wish I knew how to fix / replace the hose to see if at least the compressor is usable
Can you get a silent mini air compressor w/ regulator and hose by no - name brand and do a review video with it and also can you do a video on testors acrylic paints and review it
@@barbatosrex9473 😁 I'm aware of the review, that's why I mentioned it. I'm surprised you didn't explicitly compare the NONAME to this Master at the end of the video. Do you agree that the NONAME portable is hands down better? Seems like even the airbrush that comes bundled is better
@@LawrenceValverde yes, it's superior to the Master. You'll know in 1 second of holding it. It's just machined better and has way smoother trigger action. Plus it atomizes better too
This was almost as painful to watch as using canned air. My first airbrush in the 1970s was made of plastic and used canned air. It was only good for applying a base coat. I dreamed of having an airbrush that could do those intricate camouflage patterns you would see in modeling magazines.
I do most of the time. I keep them in separate labeled bins marked acrylic and lacquer. That way after I use them for adding thinners to my paints I just put them back in the bin. I will clean paints from them most of the time when I'm done but on occasion when I'm filming I'll just toss it after using it for paint. I have 500 of them always in my stock
You might wanna go and do a video on just what airbrushes are used for what based on their equipment and needle size. 99% of all people watching these videos even those who have been years into the hobby are still clueless on what needle size really means and how air pressure is one of the most important parts of setting up your sessions. Needle size is not for determining paint line thickness (That's an entirely different adjustment...think nozzle) and gets people into trouble especially with miniature painting. Yes lines from a 3 will be thinner than a 5 but the actual use of needle size is for the media you are using the brush with, thicker media needs larger needle size to prevent over thinning using a smaller one. These Master brushes are great workers for the price and if their needles are polished routinely will perform as well as any Iwata or H&S. Master needles like the cheaper Chinese made brushes aren't polished to the degree higher end brands go to thus the difference out of the box is noticeable, after 3 or more good polishing sessions those cheap brushes and these Master brushes really start to shine (Polish those needles folks they are highly pitted causing "Fuzzing" and hazy lines until the pitting is removed). P.S I know prices are important to little birdies who shop singing their "Cheap cheap" song, but compressors shouldn't be skimped on and I mean specifically having a tank on them, brands are pretty much the same as most are made in the same plants overseas, but never get or use one without a tank, you'll thank me later. These compressors like the one in this video are for nail painting not model painting and shame on companies for not stating that upfront & ripping off customers who quickly figure out these are useless for model use in general. Great video Rex as always you get into the root of the items reviewed.
I have a few of these airbrushes -$30 aud. Look for 3 lines on the cup and body. There’s also similar with a mac valve. Mine are branded KKmoon. They do ok as a baseline 0.3mm chinese airbrush. Wouldn’t go near that compressor.
I tried this type of compressor when I started airbrushing and I I wish I just put the money towards a regular one. You have to thin your paints way to thin that you end up with tide marks and running, it struggled with Metallica due to the flames in it. Horrible thing.
Maybe you should try adjusting your pressure lower from that other compressor that he came with because less air through the compressor holding back some of the pressure giving you better control maybe
Thanks for this review. I personally see master as significantly below Badger and Paasche in terms of quality. I only use gravity feed guns but my experience has lead me to see airbrush manufactures in terms of quality rank, Paasche then Badger next up Iwata, then Harder & Steenbeck and finally Iwata Custom Micron on top. Hopefully someone can sponsor you for those more expensive airbrushes.
Question: 1) Can i use a thinning ratio of 1:2 to make it flow better so it is easier to spray? 2) Is it work fine with gundam marker spray system and Hobbymio spray system?
@@barbatosrex9473 for short term painting would you recommend this pair along side with gundam marker system,or just jump straight to a proper gas tank compressor? I have a lot of gundam marker sitting back in my desk and i feel quite a waste to to not use them up and jump to proper MrColour paint
I had a couple of this Compressors, and another similar like this but unbranded (yet probably from the same manufacturer); all three of them died within the span of 30 days. From what I could theorize, they´ll only last if used with a single action airbrush. If the air flow is stopped completely (while ON), they wear really quickly, even in small 10 minutes daily sessions.
Actually worse, I found only the solvent based paints worked best because you can thin them out way more than acrylics. The thinner the better with this airbrush
Hi im planning to buy an airbrush mini compressor like that. U think i can use it to touch up small imperfections on my car? Like on clear coat? Thanks a lot
@@barbatosrex9473 I agree. I bought that other portable after your review. I absolutely love it! Zero issues so far. It is nice for little jobs here and there Your review was spot on. Thanks
i wonder if the mr color compressor is any better. it too has use 30 min cool 15 problem. it was yellow but almost the same style. also the harbor freight $10 style airbrush that you reviewed once. edit (to try with a weak compressor)
i think the version you have of the kompressor is the problem because i have one that looks identical but has 2 bar or 29psi if im correct and im using that with vallejo surface primer without a problem so yeah nice video as always but i think there are different versions of that kompressor with different psi that works better also im only using for priming an zenithol highlight for 40k not big gundam or comparable so i dont know how well it works for that
When did you get the Tooty compressor? I just watched one of your videos from September and you were using a different one then. What made you switch? I’m thinking of getting a compressor but unsure which.
I had poor performance a while ago spraying the Air paints through a 0.3mm but since I got my new air compressor I haven't had a problem. But before I got it I went up to my 0.5mm or my Patriot and didn't have any troubles.
@@statoilbensin2190 not yet, I was hoping for a better place to purchase them from. I don't want to test a product for viewers that's hard to find. The place I got them from only stocks about 10 colors
I didn't bother with these types of compressors with a little bit of research I built a silent compressor like the Bambi BB8 from a free oil lubricated refrigerator compressor I salvaged and $70aud 1hp 8L compressor on sale from a auto parts store so that I know the tank is safe, I put on a SMC oil mist separator from ebay and had a completely silent compressor that has a 8L tank and can run a airbrush continuously or even larger spray gun intermittently.
@@barbatosrex9473 The Proline shop or even Amazon has them... I just seen another RUclipsr I follow that had a video on them. I wasn't sure if you had tested them since you have tested just about everything under the sun....lol
Have you or anyone else on this feed tried other master airbrushes and compressors? Amazon has a combo set for around $140 and up just wondering if that is worth the price or go another route. Thanks
If you had to pick what airbrush you would use out if this one and the Harbor freight 20$ one, what would be your pick? Or even a better one in the 50$ range? I'd love to see a cheap airbrush review or airbrush by price range review!!!
You said that you use a Patriot airbrush. Could you give me the model number? In this video you also show a black air compressor that you use. Could you also give me the brand and model number. I really enjoy your videos😊
I use a Badger Patriot 105, one of my favorite airbrushes. And my compressor is a Tooty by No Name. Yes that's the name of the manufacturer, No Name. Get them both here spraygunner.com?aff=10 Just search for them at the site. My compressor has a tank but the one without the tank is also good if you don't want to spend the extra cash for the tank
@@barbatosrex9473 thank you for the information. I have a Badger airbrush anthem 155. Wanting to use it to paint Createx acrylics. Do you know if my airbrush will work with the paint or will I needs different needle and tip or just another type airbrush?
Works good if you use super thin paints. I do have troubles when I thin down my acrylics too much so I feel this airbrush combo is great for the Alclad types of solvent paints. The airbrush is decent, it's the compressor I had a problem with
As a native Spanish speaker, I would say more like va-yeh-hoh... It's a Spanish brand, a Spanish name...I think he's been doing pretty good job pronouncing it too.... Don't know why everyone else wants to call it valayho
I'm a noob and am getting my airbrush stuff in the mail right now as I type this. I got a compressor combo just like this one. Wish I'd have seen this before buying.
Damn.. I was so close to spending the extra $$ and get a compressor that looks just like your 2D one with the reservoir tank and much better compressor. I'm going to put the model together this weekend and hopefully spray it in primer when the primer comes on Sunday. Wish I'd seen this
seems to be an unfair comparison as far as the compressor goes...should have tried Your hose on the new compressor since the New compressor hose was completely new versus the used and broken in hose on your daily use compressor. granted those hoses on the new compressor kink very easy because i have the portable handheld compressor that includes hose when you dont want to hold compressor and when i first hooked it up, i had same issue as you, nothing coming out until i found the kink. after that and laying to hose out to relax from being packed, i had no problems with it and it sprayed just fine. so a more fair comparison would be to use your broken in hose on new compressor to see how it compares to the brand new hose shipped with the kit.
You rarely get what you pay for but you certainly always pay for what you get.. This compressor is a case of not paying much and getting even less. A newcomer to airbrushing would end up becoming so frustrated with this he/she might walk away from the hobby. Not everyone will be able to get a good compressor with a large air tank right away but springing an extra amount for at least an entry level compressor with a tank will keep newbies interested and even half decent results will help them learn and improve.
Stupid opening comments he didn't like "cassette plug" ... he means adapter or wall wart. Ect .. main plus point if that fails can be replaced... this unit has a fixed cord
The sad thing about a set like this is that they're killjoys, the ruiner of hobbies. I can imagine a kid or even an adult who is excited to get into the hobby of models and painting, and either they or one of their loved ones, with the best of intentions, buys this because it seems like an incredible deal to open the door to the craft. And they end up getting some noisy, unreliable POS that ends up being no fun for anybody, makes airbrushing feel like crap, and makes them put it away and give up.
Absolutely correct. I couldn't have said it better. If your going to airbrush just go ahead and put in about $150. $100 for a good compressor and at least $50 for an airbrush. One of my favorite airbrushes is the Badger 105 Patriot and it $58 right now on Amazon

I was looking forward to this review to see what you think of it. This was my first airbrush then I upgraded a bit to the Neo for Iwata.
Neo is great. I've got two one for primer (larger nozzle) another for paint (standard nozzle).

Just bought one, its my 1st Airsprayer, cant wait. 👏👏
I'm guessing the initial spurt of decent pressure is from the hose basically acting as a very small tank.
Absolutely
remember in the beginning the motor sound strained.
I suggest you look at the weird Rustoleum Stone rattlecans in regards to models.
@darkwood777cuz I wanna know how well or poorly they'd function for this specific use.

I actually reviewed it here a few months ago. I highly recommend it too. Check out the vid on my channel
@@barbatosrex9473 😁 I'm aware of the review, that's why I mentioned it. I'm surprised you didn't explicitly compare the NONAME to this Master at the end of the video. Do you agree that the NONAME portable is hands down better? Seems like even the airbrush that comes bundled is better
@@LawrenceValverde yes, it's superior to the Master. You'll know in 1 second of holding it. It's just machined better and has way smoother trigger action. Plus it atomizes better too
This was almost as painful to watch as using canned air. My first airbrush in the 1970s was made of plastic and used canned air. It was only good for applying a base coat. I dreamed of having an airbrush that could do those intricate camouflage patterns you would see in modeling magazines.
If you mask you can do those wtf there’s no much difference in a cheap airbrush to an expensive one but the dual action and durability
What is your regular compressor??
hi great video! how much psi on the good compresssor?
I leave my compressor set to 20 psi for almost anything other than chrome and metalizer paints
Do you wash and reuse your pipettes?
I do most of the time. I keep them in separate labeled bins marked acrylic and lacquer. That way after I use them for adding thinners to my paints I just put them back in the bin. I will clean paints from them most of the time when I'm done but on occasion when I'm filming I'll just toss it after using it for paint. I have 500 of them always in my stock
You might wanna go and do a video on just what airbrushes are used for what based on their equipment and needle size. 99% of all people watching these videos even those who have been years into the hobby are still clueless on what needle size really means and how air pressure is one of the most important parts of setting up your sessions. Needle size is not for determining paint line thickness (That's an entirely different adjustment...think nozzle) and gets people into trouble especially with miniature painting. Yes lines from a 3 will be thinner than a 5 but the actual use of needle size is for the media you are using the brush with, thicker media needs larger needle size to prevent over thinning using a smaller one. These Master brushes are great workers for the price and if their needles are polished routinely will perform as well as any Iwata or H&S. Master needles like the cheaper Chinese made brushes aren't polished to the degree higher end brands go to thus the difference out of the box is noticeable, after 3 or more good polishing sessions those cheap brushes and these Master brushes really start to shine (Polish those needles folks they are highly pitted causing "Fuzzing" and hazy lines until the pitting is removed).
P.S I know prices are important to little birdies who shop singing their "Cheap cheap" song, but compressors shouldn't be skimped on and I mean specifically having a tank on them, brands are pretty much the same as most are made in the same plants overseas, but never get or use one without a tank, you'll thank me later. These compressors like the one in this video are for nail painting not model painting and shame on companies for not stating that upfront & ripping off customers who quickly figure out these are useless for model use in general.
Great video Rex as always you get into the root of the items reviewed.
I have been in the hobby for less than a year and its pretty easy to understand.
I have a few of these airbrushes -$30 aud. Look for 3 lines on the cup and body. There’s also similar with a mac valve. Mine are branded KKmoon.
They do ok as a baseline 0.3mm chinese airbrush. Wouldn’t go near that compressor.
I tried this type of compressor when I started airbrushing and I I wish I just put the money towards a regular one. You have to thin your paints way to thin that you end up with tide marks and running, it struggled with Metallica due to the flames in it. Horrible thing.
Maybe you should try adjusting your pressure lower from that other compressor that he came with because less air through the compressor holding back some of the pressure giving you better control maybe
Which one you like better your madworks or this one?
The Madworks for sure. But with the price of a badger patriot right now at $70 it makes buying these harder
Thanks for this review. I personally see master as significantly below Badger and Paasche in terms of quality. I only use gravity feed guns but my experience has lead me to see airbrush manufactures in terms of quality rank, Paasche then Badger next up Iwata, then Harder & Steenbeck and finally Iwata Custom Micron on top. Hopefully someone can sponsor you for those more expensive airbrushes.
Question:
1) Can i use a thinning ratio of 1:2 to make it flow better so it is easier to spray?
2) Is it work fine with gundam marker spray system and Hobbymio spray system?
That thinning ratio is fine. Should work with the Gundam marker system
@@barbatosrex9473 for short term painting would you recommend this pair along side with gundam marker system,or just jump straight to a proper gas tank compressor? I have a lot of gundam marker sitting back in my desk and i feel quite a waste to to not use them up and jump to proper MrColour paint
Hello. Have you ever done a review of the Iwata Neo CN?
I owned a Neo and I just did not like it. I got my GSI Creos Procon Boy Platinum right after the Neo and it blew the Neo away. In my opinion 😉
I had a couple of this Compressors, and another similar like this but unbranded (yet probably from the same manufacturer); all three of them died within the span of 30 days.
From what I could theorize, they´ll only last if used with a single action airbrush. If the air flow is stopped completely (while ON), they wear really quickly, even in small 10 minutes daily sessions.
Would this work better for water-based paint? Just curious 🤔
Actually worse, I found only the solvent based paints worked best because you can thin them out way more than acrylics. The thinner the better with this airbrush
What color blue on the mystery machine did you use? Thanks for an answer.
Gaia Frame Arms Girl FM-02 Miku Hair Shadow. It's a line up of paint made specifically for Kotobukiya Frame Arms Girl kits
Hi im planning to buy an airbrush mini compressor like that. U think i can use it to touch up small imperfections on my car? Like on clear coat? Thanks a lot
I'm just wondering what do you do with all these extra airbrushes you get? Great vid by the way.
Mr Barbatos are you still planning to do a test to see whats the best between the Leveling thinner and the new Tamiya lacquer thinner retarder type?
Yes
As always great vid. How would you compare this airbrush kit to the previous reviewed (the rechargeable one) in terms of having something for back up?
The portable one with the built in compressor I reviewed earlier is way better than this in my opinion
@@barbatosrex9473 I agree. I bought that other portable after your review. I absolutely love it! Zero issues so far. It is nice for little jobs here and there Your review was spot on. Thanks
@@bubba6richards729 thanks buddy. That other portable air compressor is great. Good to hear it's working out for you
been using mine for about 3 months , find thinner paint and more coats works best.
i wonder if the mr color compressor is any better. it too has use 30 min cool 15 problem. it was yellow but almost the same style. also the harbor freight $10 style airbrush that you reviewed once. edit (to try with a weak compressor)
Which brand of airbrush would you recommend for begginers because I’m looking at iwata badger and passche and Grex and harder and Steenbeck
Go with a Badger Patriot 105
amzn.to/3Aht3Hz
I'll have to pass on this setup. Thanks for your informative video.
i think the version you have of the kompressor is the problem because i have one that looks identical but has 2 bar or 29psi if im correct and im using that with vallejo surface primer without a problem so yeah nice video as always but i think there are different versions of that kompressor with different psi that works better also im only using for priming an zenithol highlight for 40k not big gundam or comparable so i dont know how well it works for that
That doesn’t look bad unless you are very experienced painter. Cheap and compact you must thin all the paints there’s no way to paint without thinning
What hose type does the tooty use?
Standard 1/8 hose
@@barbatosrex9473 does it use npt or bsp?
@@Flyingcarrot321 I'm in the US so it's NPT
@@barbatosrex9473 thanks
When did you get the Tooty compressor? I just watched one of your videos from September and you were using a different one then. What made you switch? I’m thinking of getting a compressor but unsure which.
My generic brand one started making noises so I got the Tooty about 4 months ago. It's fantastic. Use my link to see them at SprayGunner
+1 for the tooty, it's fantastic. It's pretty small, it's very quiet, and it can consistently push at 25psi if you need it to.
I use 0.3mm needle with model air and I dont have to thinn it.
I had poor performance a while ago spraying the Air paints through a 0.3mm but since I got my new air compressor I haven't had a problem. But before I got it I went up to my 0.5mm or my Patriot and didn't have any troubles.
@@barbatosrex9473 I see, a lot of people prefer atleast 0.4 for vallejo unless they thinn it even more. Have you tested the Italeri paints?
@@statoilbensin2190 not yet, I was hoping for a better place to purchase them from. I don't want to test a product for viewers that's hard to find. The place I got them from only stocks about 10 colors
I didn't bother with these types of compressors with a little bit of research I built a silent compressor like the Bambi BB8 from a free oil lubricated refrigerator compressor I salvaged and $70aud 1hp 8L compressor on sale from a auto parts store so that I know the tank is safe, I put on a SMC oil mist separator from ebay and had a completely silent compressor that has a 8L tank and can run a airbrush continuously or even larger spray gun intermittently.
Out of context but have you tested the Proline RC paints?
No not yet. Where do you recommend I get them?
@@barbatosrex9473 The Proline shop or even Amazon has them... I just seen another RUclipsr I follow that had a video on them. I wasn't sure if you had tested them since you have tested just about everything under the sun....lol
Have you or anyone else on this feed tried other master airbrushes and compressors? Amazon has a combo set for around $140 and up just wondering if that is worth the price or go another route. Thanks
If you had to pick what airbrush you would use out if this one and the Harbor freight 20$ one, what would be your pick? Or even a better one in the 50$ range? I'd love to see a cheap airbrush review or airbrush by price range review!!!
You said that you use a Patriot airbrush. Could you give me the model number? In this video you also show a black air compressor that you use. Could you also give me the brand and model number. I really enjoy your videos😊
I use a Badger Patriot 105, one of my favorite airbrushes. And my compressor is a Tooty by No Name. Yes that's the name of the manufacturer, No Name. Get them both here
spraygunner.com?aff=10
Just search for them at the site. My compressor has a tank but the one without the tank is also good if you don't want to spend the extra cash for the tank
@@barbatosrex9473 thank you for the information. I have a Badger airbrush anthem 155. Wanting to use it to paint Createx acrylics. Do you know if my airbrush will work with the paint or will I needs different needle and tip or just another type airbrush?
@@gregtraut8822 not sure of the size of the needle on the Anthem but I would go with at least a 0.5mm when working with Createx
a board over a garbage can. pretty cool analog amp...
This is what I started on
Works good if you use super thin paints. I do have troubles when I thin down my acrylics too much so I feel this airbrush combo is great for the Alclad types of solvent paints. The airbrush is decent, it's the compressor I had a problem with
@@barbatosrex9473 absolutely, I still use the airbrush from time to time but the compressor is the weak link. Couldn't complain for the price
Try saying it like this Va-ea-yo. I would like to see how it compares to one of rechargeable handheld airbrush/compressor combo.
As a native Spanish speaker, I would say more like va-yeh-hoh... It's a Spanish brand, a Spanish name...I think he's been doing pretty good job pronouncing it too.... Don't know why everyone else wants to call it valayho
good luck finding anything cheap that works like you thought it was gonna duh hahaha thanks lub cooter d
not fair yours came with the foam insert
That was the high point of this review. Have you checked out my latest review of a portable compressor? It's very good
How old are you?
well sometimes it's either this or nothing, unless a real compressor with a tank of a similar size exists.
So you basically explained to me why i wasn't able to paint good things.
Someone should make a getto reservoir tank with a 2L bottle and see if that improves it.
I'm a noob and am getting my airbrush stuff in the mail right now as I type this. I got a compressor combo just like this one. Wish I'd have seen this before buying.
Damn.. I was so close to spending the extra $$ and get a compressor that looks just like your 2D one with the reservoir tank and much better compressor. I'm going to put the model together this weekend and hopefully spray it in primer when the primer comes on Sunday. Wish I'd seen this
My Master brushes performed well at first, but time was not their friend!
Time is the killer.. 😉
Umm where do i get that scooby doo van..awesome...lol
amzn.to/3JP0Psi
thanks for the most accurate review on this lol the rest is rubbish
seems to be an unfair comparison as far as the compressor goes...should have tried Your hose on the new compressor since the New compressor hose was completely new versus the used and broken in hose on your daily use compressor. granted those hoses on the new compressor kink very easy because i have the portable handheld compressor that includes hose when you dont want to hold compressor and when i first hooked it up, i had same issue as you, nothing coming out until i found the kink. after that and laying to hose out to relax from being packed, i had no problems with it and it sprayed just fine. so a more fair comparison would be to use your broken in hose on new compressor to see how it compares to the brand new hose shipped with the kit.
it must be very cheap mine is pretty good and has auto shutoff
Cassette Deck😁😁🤣🤣😂😂
You rarely get what you pay for but you certainly always pay for what you get.. This compressor is a case of not paying much and getting even less. A newcomer to airbrushing would end up becoming so frustrated with this he/she might walk away from the hobby. Not everyone will be able to get a good compressor with a large air tank right away but springing an extra amount for at least an entry level compressor with a tank will keep newbies interested and even half decent results will help them learn and improve.
Casset deck, cd player, boombox it just gets worse. 😂
Stupid opening comments he didn't like "cassette plug" ... he means adapter or wall wart. Ect .. main plus point if that fails can be replaced... this unit has a fixed cord
The sad thing about a set like this is that they're killjoys, the ruiner of hobbies. I can imagine a kid or even an adult who is excited to get into the hobby of models and painting, and either they or one of their loved ones, with the best of intentions, buys this because it seems like an incredible deal to open the door to the craft. And they end up getting some noisy, unreliable POS that ends up being no fun for anybody, makes airbrushing feel like crap, and makes them put it away and give up.
Absolutely correct. I couldn't have said it better. If your going to airbrush just go ahead and put in about $150. $100 for a good compressor and at least $50 for an airbrush. One of my favorite airbrushes is the Badger 105 Patriot and it $58 right now on Amazon
Have you gone to see your local head doctor recently???????
This is probably for nails.
Ah yes the infamous I want to airbrush but I'm too poor and this looks cheap kit that everyone looks at.
You got that right
