Toys : SprayMaster Complete Professional Gravity/Bottom Feed Dual Action Airbrush Kit With 2 Airbrushes - CPK5012

Rating: - worth the money.
I work in the film industry and use professional spray guns and airbrushes quite often. As with all tools you get what you pay for and cheap usually means nasty. Not so with this great set, I can't figure out how they can sell it for this price( I guess its all made in china). Its really a small compressor with two free airbrushes! The compressor is quiet and is mounted on rubber cups that effectively dampen the vibration when it is running. The airbrushes have been well described in previous reviews. For the model maker or artist on a budget this is well worth the money. look for them on ebay too.. I think amazons price is competitive but it's worth checking.

A great package for anyone. The kit comprises a siphon feed airbrush, a basic piece of kit for the beginner. A gravity feed airbrush and a piston type compressor. The siphon feed airbrush has been used extensively and it has proven to be very reliable, easy to use and most importantly easy to clean. The amount of spray can be adjusted to suit a wide variety of applications such as fine detail work. The detachable jars allow you to use a variety of colours at a time providing plenty of flexibility.

The second airbrush is the more flexible and complicated of the two. This airbrush can be dismantled making cleaning the inside of the airbrush much easier. However putting it back together can be tricky as some parts, such as the needle are fragile. However it comes complete with instructions. Using this airbrush is a joy. The amount of paint can be controlled easily whilst spraying, allowing you to finely adjust the amount you need whilst working. Because the second airbrush is gravity fed there is no need to attach the small jars that are necessary for the siphon feed airbrush. This makes using the second airbrush much more intuitive and comfortable whilst spraying. However the airbrush has to be cleaned through before another colour is used.

Each airbrush comes with all the necessary accessories, hose and adapters, glass bottles and a plastic pipette (which is a bit useless!). I would suggest you invest in some glass bottles Airbrush Glass Bottles 22Cc X 5 , Dual Action Gun as you only get the one lid that connects tothe airbrush and some airbrush cleaner Revell Airbrush Cleaner 500ml # 39005

The compressor is a piston type, solidly built, well made and reliable. It comes complete with a regulator which stops moisture build up in your air supply. The compressor automatically switches itself off at 60 psi which helps to stop it overheating. The only concern I have is that when left running the compressor dose get pretty hot, however this may be perfectly normal.

Overall this is a superb package, great quality kit at a very reasonable and affordable price. It's let down a little by a hefty delivery charge of £12.50. Don't let this put you off though as the service you get from the seller is fantastic.
