    After watching your review and demonstration I decided to buy one, and for a first time airbrush user I am very pleased with the results, thanks for a very thorough and informative review

      Thank you for viewing and taking the time to leave a comment. It is really appreciated. I'm glad my video was of some help. I was sceptical when we first found this bundle but we did get everything we were promised, as advertised, in one box. I have used both brushes and the compressor many times since and found it to be very satisfactory. As entry level product I would still highly recommend it.

      @@pigeonguardgames507 It only needs a few minutes rest time. I only advise this because this is obviously a budget unit made, presumably, of lower grade parts. That said, you can get a lot paint sprayed in 10 minutes and the rest time allows what have you done to dry anyway so it is no big issue

    Does the compressor turn off when at the desired pressure?

    • @StBlazeyModelWorld
      @StBlazeyModelWorld  7 месяцев назад

      It does do that yes, or at least this version of this type did. It fired back up to maintain pressure as required. Many thanks for viewing and leaving a comment/question :)

      Hello there, I think the set is about 2 and a half years old now...at least. Still in regular use with me. I do have more expensive airbrush kit but the system reviewed is still in use for general work like priming and applying scenic colour tones. I did recently re-spray a loco body with it and it performed really well. As a starter set or if you are new to airbrushing I see nothing wrong in the cheaper options that out there and if upgrading when experience comes if need be.

    Hi (I'm not sure that you have "confessed" to having a name!). You didn't say in your videos why there were two airbrushes in the kit (I presume because they have different size needles/nozzles, the first for fine detail work and the second for larger areas). In the first video you basically said buying too cheap wasn't a good idea and in this video that this kit would be OK for beginners. But, how soon would a beginner start to look for a better airbrush?

    • @StBlazeyModelWorld
      @StBlazeyModelWorld  3 года назад +1

      Good point! I can only apologise if my video sends out a mixed message. My reasoning behind it was that even beginners will turn to RUclips and discover all kinds of things and airbrushes would be one of those. Buying 'cheap' generally is not a great idea. As for the kit, I thought it was worth looking at, hence the video

      I think somebody else left a similar comment but it is an old video now. On the one I have the pipe is a screw thread at each end, compressor and gun, like a car tyre valve

    The spraying pressure is too great and is causing the spidering of the paint. It needs to be reduced with the paint thinned as much as you have done.

    • @StBlazeyModelWorld
      @StBlazeyModelWorld  8 месяцев назад

      You are quite correct my friend. That is an old video and also one the first I made for my channel so I probably looked a complete idiot. Some would say that I still am lol For what it is worth I am still have and use all that kit despite upgrading along the way to better equipment. Thank you for viewing and taking the time to leave a helpful comment.

  • @Dave-sg6om

    So why review both guns with your pressure too high, your paint too thin, or indeed both. What you've actually video'd is not a true reflection of what each gun's capabilities may be but more a case of how NOT to run an airbrush.

      Hi, thank you for your viewing and taking the time to leave a comment. That was one of my earliest videos and I may well be doing it differently if I remade it now. Where I live we have no Wifi so even a 10 minute video takes days to upload. I wanted to show viewers what you get and that what you get is what you paid for. It was never supposed to be an airbrush tutorial video.
