Quiet, easy to use, and great build quality.
The compressor has no tank, so it has to run pretty much constantly when actually spraying, but as stated, it’s incredibly quiet, and has rubber feet that do a great job at damping vibrations. I use this in an apartment, and have no issue running it late at night. It’s actually quieter then the smoke absorbing filtration fan I use to catch overspray.
It’s easy to set up and use, as everything connects neatly together in a pretty self explanatory way. Beginners may find that the hardest part about using this airbrush is cleaning up when you’re done. Which you should do every time. Simply unscrew and disassemble every part of the brush, and wipe excess paint off with a cleaning solution. Take care when cleaning the needle, as the tip is incredibly thin, and can be bent easily.
Build quality is very nice. The fittings for the two gravity feed brushes (the all metal ones) fit very nicely together, and the threading and overall machining is very precise.
The siphon feed brush (black plastic) is noticeably lower quality in terms of material, but after all, it’s injection molded plastic. That doesn’t affect the spray quality however, as the siphon nozzle is machined metal (brass I think). This brush is best used for thicker paints, or paints with metallic/metal flake finish, as the particulates won’t clog the nozzle as easily.
Overall, this kit is a great buy for anyone who is looking to get into airbrushing, but doesn’t want to spend a large amount of money for a full on professional rig. This kit provides great and reliable quality at a reasonable price, so you can build up your skill and knowledge.
Most airbrush equipment is interchangeable and uses 1/8 inch threading, so this kit is effectively upgradable down the line, and you could replace the compressor, hose, brush, etc as needed.
I’ve already added some universal quick disconnect couplers to the three brushes and the line, as well as an additional in-line moisture trap at the end of the hose. Also supplied by Master Airbrush.
