Mini Airbrush Compressor Kit - AS18-2 Kit 1

I've been looking for an affordable, but still good quality air compressor, and I finally settled on this model.For the price, I think it's amazing. It's very quiet, a lot quieter than some more expensive brands.It's simple to use, you don't even need to use the manual, it's that intuitive. My compressor was sent with a nice double-action airbrush and braided hose.It isn't too heavy, only 3.5 kgs, it's got a nice folding carry handle, and when switched on, it doesn't vibrate around, but sits still on its small rubber feet. The pressure is simple to adjust, and I managed to get it to work at about 8 PSI, at the lowest pressure.I can't comment on its longevity, but considering how cheap it was, I'm not too worried about that, since it should be covered by 12 months guarantee anyway. It certainly feels, and looks, like it will give plenty of service.I'm really pleased with this compressor, and highly recommend it for the airbrusher looking for a cheap but still good compressor that won't break the bank.

This is a compressor, hose and double action airbrush set. The compressor is really quiet, simple to use and adjustable from 0 to 100 psi.The hose is braided, long and tough. The airbrush is solidly built and works as well spraying blocks of colour as it does doing delicate camo schemes and panel fading. Double action means that the trigger can control both the air and the paint flow for a high degree of control.It does not fit my Badger but I imagine adaptors are available. It arrived quickly, and was well packed with an English plug and amusingly translated instructions.With a little practice, I was able to produce all manner of fine lines(3mm approx.),subtle clouding and rows of circles progressively fading in and out. What more can you want? A superb bit of kit.

I've been using airbrushes for many years, using everything from cans of propellant, inflated car tyres and when I could finally afford them, compressors.Bought as a gift for my son-in-law to paint models this kit contains everything needed to get started. As well as the compressor, I received a dual action gravity fed airbrush, twin airbrush holder, braided hose and all connectors required. Including a quick release connector with valve to allow change of airbrush without having to shut down.The compressor is of the piston type with no air reservoir, which means that it's running pretty much constantly when spraying although the noise isn't overly obtrusive and I could not detect any pulsing in the paint flow. Pressure is easily controlled with the regulator and the unit has no trouble maintaining a steady 30psi, the maximum recommended for the supplied airbrush. As already mentioned by another reviewer, the compressor tends to move in operation when on a smooth surface, but this was sorted using a piece of rubber non-slip mat.The airbrush is of the double action type. It also incorporates a rear mounted needle adjustment screw which allows the user to regulate the paint flow - useful if not accustomed to a double auctioned airbrush. Whilst not quite in the same league as models from the big boys like Iwata or Paasche, this is by no means a poor quality airbrush. Coverage of larger areas is accomplished with ease and with no spattering and finer lines are possible with a little practise. The only gripe was the slight stickiness on downward pressure controlling airflow, but a strip and clean would no doubt have it operating really smoothly.This kit is unbelievably good value, costing far less than most airbrushes alone, and should last a very long time.

Very impressed with the airbrush and compressor . My first airbrush so I'm still learning . Compressor is quieter than I expected , easy to set up and easy to use . Airbrush is giving me great results for my model building , makes a massive difference from hand painting them . The airbrush action is very good and allows you to control your paint really well . I would definitely recommend this set for beginners . Fast delivery , well packaged , very impressed all round .

My only previous experience of airbrushing was with a can powered, Humbrol effort in the 1980s. The experience proved to be a disheartening disaster, leaving me to believe that airbrushing was some sort of black art... but not anymore. This ensemble is so easy to operate. Having done some research online into tips and techniques, I jumped into it. Follow the simple and basic airbrushing rules, and you'll amaze yourself with your own ability. Highly recommended for newcomers to airbrushing, as well as more experienced modellers.

Works well, easy to carry when travelling, good purchase

This is a really good little compressor, lightweight and quiet. I've had no problems with vibration making it walk across the work surface. I was sceptical about buying Chinese but the compressor is good.Now the airbrush. Used it once, cleaned it out. Used it again and the problems were just mounting up. Spray quality was poor, paint would not come out, it acted as if it was blocked so stripped it right down, cleaned every item and still won't spray. Put water in the resovoir, instead of spraying out it blew back as if the nozzle was completely blocked. The spanner for the nozzle doesn't fit. I'm afraid it is a very poor quality item.Despite being really disappointed with the gun, the compressor makes up for it - just.
