Al little hack for you. This compressor whilst not noisy compared to other, having any noise close to you can be distracting. This is a quiet compressor but i notice most of the noise emanates from the crappy neoprene type rubber hose that comes with the unit. Why they didn't twin a decent hose with it is a mystery . Use a thicker braided hose and the noise level is very much reduced. Good compressor. I'm enjoying it
Can I ask how you connected it to the unit? It just has that friction plug on the unit side
@@adamdavis6671 I'd like to know too.

I have one of these and it's been pretty decent so far. I think one day I may replace it with something that is just a little bit more powerful that can run for longer but it gets the job done well and it's tiny which is what was important for me. Only paid £145 new for this + an Iwata HP-CR so no complaints from me.
Would you be able to compare the noise to a known appliance? Say a hairdryer for example? Does it overheat, or any insights you can give after using it a few months please?
I use Iwata jet pro compressor with Iwata eclipse airbrush. Wanting to get something for travel, this is perfect. Thanks for a great video.
Great review video! I just bought the Iwata Neo CN airbrush kit with this compressor. Thank you so much!
Great video. That sure is a clean air booth. Do you ever use it.
How much is the booth
Looks nice
hi there could you please make a video on the key weathering things to do on 1/35 scale tanks? thanks in advance!
+Max Welliver Yes Max will do. Looking at making more "How To" guides and a weathering series! Stay tuned.
Is it ok for a beginner?
Yes sure.
I'm a makeup artist and I'm interested in this compressor to use for airbrushing silicone and water based foundations on the face and body. Have you tried using this compressor with a silicone based paint. Wondering if it will have the psi to push out silicone based products 🤔
No not used it on silicone based paints I’m afraid, but as usual if you can’t test it, try and find someone who has used it that way. Unfortunately, I can’t help!
would it be adequate enough for someone like me who doesnt model build often, but when i do i want a top job? (or as 'top job' as my mediocre skills can do anyway)
i dont have much room and would be building on my normal desk (when i get it that is, im just looking to buy an ikea micke workstation) where i do everything else, plus for storage reasons i like things as compact as possible. dont really want big and bulky.
+xneverwalkalonex yes this or the Silverline (slightly more expensive) would definitely do the job. Pick one up second hand it may be even cheaper.
+Scale War Machines in fact it's the Iwata Freestyle that is slightly more expensive, not the Silverline. That is also compact, transportable & not too expensive.
+Scale War Machines thanks for the reply, I'll check them out
+xneverwalkalonex I do suggest it, I've had mine for about 2 years and like you I don't have much space for modelling and I don't build frequently. It is not perfect but it does the job quite well for entry-level modelling. I don't think it last 30min before shutdown, I believe is more like 15 min or so it seems to me. Also another bit is that you do need a water trap, it starts producing water like a waterfall by the end of the night, that's the only thing missing in my set up. Also I suggest looking for second hands, I got mine from Ebay, almost new, for half the price $50 USD and with the Iwata neo airbrush for $40 I did the tremendous upgrade from hand painting to airbrushing for less than a $100.
What primer are you using?
Ammo by Mig Surface Primer
Wate how much dose it cost I can't find thanks
+glen-ross mullen it's about £90-100 GBP at the moment.
+Scale War Machines thank you ;)
Just picked one up at hobby lobby for 35 bucks. hope its ok for gunpla
@Giannis Papadimitropoulos Its a peice of junk dont get one. get a real compressor
Whats the name of the solder smoking
Nuts Planet resign German DAK Figure from their SD range
How do you attach the hose to that piece on the compressor? It's too small. I understand it needs to be extremely snug so no air leaks out. But, how do you get it on there? I don't want to stretch the hose too much and damage it. Thanks.
Just push it on by force, it is designed to fit and shouldn't break.
Just need to buy an adaptor! Very cheap and no you don’t need a real expensive one at all. You do want one that is going to cost more than five bucks but with all honesty you can get one that’s great quality for only ten bucks! They have everything on Amazon. Do some research though. That’s very serious! Just look at the reviews and always look at what real people have to say on RUclips about the airbrushes: most of the people I’ve listened to or watched don’t ask for anything in return no money nothing like that. Most are honestly giving there true opinions on the products. With an airbrush I did find out the hard way that yes this is an object the you do 100% get what you pay for. If you want one to just color in you don’t need a very expensive one for fine lines yes spend a little money. You buy a 25 dollar dual action airbrush just know that’s exactly what you’ll be getting! For 50 bucks you can get you a decent airbrush that will do the job. It will color and shade. The problems you will run into is not being able to get reliable steady work. (Lines and such) that’s when you get overspray and splatters . I’ve messed up a couple hundred dollar pieces trying to save money on an airbrush only to make the same mistake twice and had to replace them both and the whole time if I had just held out and saved a little more I would have only purchased one and would still have it. I did shell out for a Iwata and I’ve found that to be by far the best gun for the price and just quality above all unless your willing to step into the $500 range . That’s 100% true! If you just want to be able to fill in areas and aren’t to worried about fine lines and anyone that uses an airbrush for there livelihood we all know that without your tools there’s no work and your work is only as good as what you put into it and that includes if you care enough about the quality for your work that your smart enough to upgrade your tools as you can knowing that doing so is what’s going to upgrade your work and productivity in general. They have some that are charged with a basic USB and a canister that acts as a mini cordless compressor that all fits in your hand. To be transported and again as long as your not looking to do some fine script or something for about 50 bucks these things actually work great and I highly recommend them. Like I said anyone who uses these machines for there livelihood knows that we need more than one gun when we can afford it they will come if your one to take this trade seriously. For 50 bucks you can take it anywhere and I’ve never had one issue with the two I have as well as my wife and three of my children. Not one of us had even had so much as a clog. Now what we did because we were not sure for the price that any of them were going to work worth a darn but we are still very impressed. So that’s one that’s cheap you can take anywhere! For other guns for fine work and details yes I learned the hard way and waisted money by buying two airbrushes thinking I was getting a great deal but like most newbies I’m sure I went for looks and what looked the most professional. Both were junk and returned in less than two days the both of them and both were purchased at completely different times and sellers. I have found that for me personally I’ll take an Iwata airbrush over any of the airbrushes I’ve ever used and this is sense about 1991. I know there’s plenty that are better quality but not all of us are rich or established enough that buying tools like that at this time would be nothing less than foolish. Now that’s me and my situation everyone is different. So yes if anyone is listening. Please take my advice I learned the hard way and I know I’m not the onlyone trying to do what it takes to survive this mess we’ve been thrown into. I do know that yes it worth waiting and getting the airbrush that has good reviews and is a little more expensive. After returning the two airbrushes I purchased I went ahead and spent about 45 dollars more than what the two original ones cost and if I had done that from the start I wouldn’t have been on my third one and if I was I would have the three I need that all work. I know for a fact the prices are very decent and well worth the price for quality guns and those are pretty much all Paasche Airbrushes I’ve had nothing but good from them. Still gotta say Iwata has got me sold. I am going to try a “master airbrush” the deals seem pretty good and the reviews seem ok as well. If anyone has any recommendations for a master beginners airbrush I’d appreciate a heads up. I’ve got my iwata for fine lines a larger gun for covering large areas like a full canvas and my little cordless gun with a USB compressor all in one unit that fits in your hands and yes they work and by far are just plain ol cool.. it would be absolutely great for someone who does say cakes or body art face painting and things like that. For 45-50 bucks there really awesome and from the people I’ve spoken with and just reading reviews I haven’t heard one bad thing still in over a year! So if your getting into airbrushing don’t rush to buy everything at once you may not even enjoy it. On the same token don’t buy the cheapest things possible either because if you have the drive to really give it a shot and your first experience is with a broken machine or one that’s just hard to use cause it was cheaply made along with many other things those little things can and probably will turn you off but forever ! It’s the type of hobby that’s exactly that ( a hobby) or used as a job for money) either way you can get turned off just as fast as anything else. Don’t break the bank but don’t go the cheapest rout either you will regret it I promise! Get something decent and you’ll have a blast! I started with the 50 dollar airbrush after not using one for many years my hands don’t work at all like they used to so I had to find other ways of making it work. So using old packaging from my kids toys. The clear plastic. I made stencils and that little airbrush had made me enough money to support my family for some time now. Now I’m looking for more airbrushed to really start something finally. Heck I’m truly lucky to be alive so using my hands is just amazing. Anyway though I used the plastic and learned from YT how to do flames along with many other things and all this and spending a total of maybe 20 dollars in paint 10 in thinner and 50 on the airbrush: I started customer painting guns! Rifles and shotguns. Now leather also and so on! I’m also 100% disabled and was bedridden for 7 years I still don’t move very well so if I can do this so can you it’s all about just not giving up! That’s the whole secret! Oh that and a beautiful wife!! Love you guys good luck out there don’t break the bank but know you get what you pay for but don’t let that discourage you one bit! You use and get what you can! One tool at a time nobody buys them all at once! You can do it if I can anyone can! Dead three years ago? I’m still here..
Do we need to add water air filters in between?
Not really with such a tiny compressor. If you find moisture in the paint, you could aways add a moisture filter in-line at the airbrush end (the small silver bullet type ones).
@@scalewarmachines i am newbie of gumdam model painting and start shopping for equipments and stuffs...i am comparing a bigger size compressorTimbertech Compressor ABPST07(not sure if you heard before) what do u think the neo air and some bigger size one? My purpose is just for gumdam model painting...
Either will work. If you have a compressor that's a bit more heavy duty, then use that. No need to go for the Neo Air. Save up and eventually go for a silent fridge style compressor with an air tank - if you do a lot of spraying.
How do I place the order
Go to www.airbrushes.com, as we don't sell physical products.
What kind and model is the spray booth you are using in this video? Also, if I wanted to use the Neo compressor for strictly air pressure (no paint) would this model be good enough (i.e. used to blow drops of alcohol ink on tile and Yupo)?
Spraybooth is a Sparmax SB-88. For use as an air hose air supply we wouldn't recommend the Neo. You probably need something stronger & more controllable.
ruclips.net/video/gohFDZGN8j0/видео.html it's the SB88 extractor,
Is it a good idea to use it as your main airbrush?
Go for something more solid and heavy duty if you can.
@@scalewarmachines Thanks. Although given how expensive they are, I think I'll stick with paintbrushes.
Would anyone recommend using this with testors enamel paint?
Yes sure, just dilute them appropriately. Enamels always spray really well anyway. But this unit should handle it - it's best for occasional use remember - if you want something longer lasting go for a bigger and better unit, see our other videos.
@@scalewarmachines Im just getting into airbrushing and I heard this is model would be best for beginners
so could i use it for my basic need or would you recomend somthing stronger?
+snoopy jdog also just staring out and and not sure how much i should invest into one already plan on getting Neo CN Gravity-Feed Dual Action Airbrush but wanna try to save on the air compresser
+snoopy jdog We'd say with a decent gravity feed airbrush you'll never regret investing in a slightly more capable compressor, plus the compressor, if bought well & a good one, will last through any future airbrush choices or changes you make. Probably better to get a slightly stronger & more powerful one. This one's weakness is its limited run time (as it needs to cool).
Does it still shut down in low power mode?
Will it need a moisture trap?
+wells5150 Yes. It's worth getting one to be safe. Other users have mentioned it can produce a lot of moisture depending on your spraying environment.
My quiestion is, is good mini compressor Neo Air to paint in Tshirt?
+AlphaGarage Maybe one t-shirt but sustained spraying is not the strength of this unit - so if you need to spray for prolonged periods, over large areas or for several t-shirts - it's not suitable due to cut-off & reduced operating time.
ok thank you
im really confused . their are those large compressors and then theres these small ones . could you suggest a good airbrush kit or combination with which i should go with my eyes closed . their are soo many around dont know what to buy . im only gonna be doing tamaiya etc model scale car's . priming and Painting them . budget is 180$ Max for buying airbrush kit with a tamaiya kit and a few paints and primers etc . please help
+Abdullah Khan Yes tricky. You could easily pick up a very capable second-hand compressor with a small tank & moisture trap on Ebay for that budget. An example might be a Revell Omega or similar. You are looking really for the ideal characteristics as follows. Silent running or quiet, regulator to change the PSI, moisture trap to capture water, reliable air flow - so you don't lose air power. This Neo Compressor is not best suited to your particular needs in these respects. Some people prefer a compressor that stores air in a tank so there's always a plentiful supply of air. However, some compressors that don't have a tank also work well. We will review the Sparmax Arism that you see in some of our videos - that is also a good choice of compressor but comes without an air tank. It has worked well so far on test. It should just come in on budget.
+Scale War Machines how much is the sparmax along with the airbrush ? link to any reasonable online shop? i have to get a tamaiya kit,2paints,primer and a compressor and airbrush at about 180$ . so .
+Abdullah Khan Try airbrushes.com to get an idea of price (though they are UK based). New that would use up all your budget & leave little for the kit & paints. Bear in mind, a compressor is one of the most expensive outlays any modeller can make - worth getting a good one. Maybe one second-hand might just leave enough budget?...
+Scale War Machines someone suggested those KSM AS186 Kit? it's for 60-70£ ? should i go with it?
Is it noisy? How many decibels?...
Don't know the actual decibels but it's not too bad - you can even just about hold a conversation over it at the highest speed. This is certainly not a silent unit though! We recorded some of the commentary over the actual unit so what you hear is its actual noise level relative to an average human voice.
Thanks. I was asking that because I'm considering buying a Sil Air (Silentaire in the US) oil compressor, rated at 30db, which is more or less a fridge noise. It's quite expensive and requires some maintenance, but if this Neo Air is equally silent, I would consider it, instead.
If you get a chance to get something silent or near silent (!), we recommend you get that. Not only will it be that choice be vastly superior & more versatile machine, you will never regret investing in something that is quiet running.
Thanks again for the advise.
DONT GET THIS Compressor. It sucks ass. I got this along with the Neo Iwata as an airbrush set. The Neo airbrush is Meh its ok. This compressor though. Even on max setting I wonder if it even hits 20 psi. With it I was constantly having issues spraying and paint drying on the needle. I went and put out the money and got a Iwata Smart Jet compressor and its like night and day. No spraying issues, No excessive paint drying on the needle. Save your Cash get an Iwata Eclipse and a Good compressor and dont look back
Would tend to agree. This is a stop-gap compressor for the tiniest of jobs. Get an Iwata Eclipse (agreed) and the best quietest compressor you can afford, ideally with an air tank. Whilst this works, its not for serious sustained airbrushing.
mattzx77 Couldn’t agree more
Airflow at 0 psi: 0.37 CFM - enough said; just get a proper chinese one
Anyone who says these are good are straight up lying. They are junk. Straight up a waist of time and money. If you want a good compressor I’d highly suggest to stay away from this. I can’t believe they actually sell these.
Using an airbrush without a water trap is not advisable or professional! , and promoting something that is 0.37 CMF is just bad advice for anyone new to airbrushing. This is my last product review from your company, all you do is promote products, you KNOW this is a waste of time dont you
My whole life is a sham and I shall retreat to a nunnery until a new path is clear.
I recommend avoiding this compressor, especially if you are new to airbrushing. Iwata is not doing the industry any favours by producing this Neo shite. All they are doing is potentially frustrating consumers who are getting involved in the hobby. The compressor is too weak and the airbrush clogs too easily. Put simply, this Neo stuff is a waste of your money. Buy this and you will be buying twice. You can’t thin paint enough to get it through the airbrush for any decent period of time. Shame on Iwata for producing this crap and marketing it to beginners. Personally, I won’t be buying Iwata products again.
.. and yet many experienced modellers use it as a preference. Perhaps you're not cleaning it and maintaining it properly.
