Master Airbrush Brand High Performance Multi-purpose Gravity Feed Dual-action Airbrush Kit with 6 Foot Hose and a Powerful 1/5hp Single Piston Quiet Air Compressor-The Complete Set Now Includes a (FREE) How to Airbrush Training Book to Get You Started

I received a damaged compressor (see picture) and the airbrush was completely missing from the packet. Felt like a complete scam, which was surprising to me after all these positive reviews…

Works great for alcohol inks

I was very worried purchasing this item considering the vast amount of mixed reviews. However, I am very happy with this product and have been pleasantly surprised. As a disclaimer, this is my first airbrush but, it has been the perfect tool to learn on thus far. To combat the issues presented in the reviews make sure when receiving the item you thoroughly check the compressor, hose and airbrush functionality. When you are certain everything is perfect, PRACTICE! Get used to how the airbrush works, look up tutorials on YouTube on the ins and outs of airbrushing. This will help a lot. The biggest part of combatting a faulty product is taking care of your airbrush. Now I tend to be lazy when it comes to equipment, but if you want to go with a cheaper end product, you'll have to go higher end on the cleaning. I have only fully disassembled the airbrush once and I invested in some Tamiya airbrush cleaner which works perfect. I know it can mess with the flow of the airbrushing process, but after changing every color, I thoroughly clean it out using water first then airbrush cleaner to finish the job. This has helped reduce having to take apart the airbrush all the time. I had one instance of clogging but a cotton swab with some tamiya cleaner did just the trick to clear it up. Take care of your airbrush and it will take care of you. The compressor works very well. It's quiet and gets the job done. Truthfully, I was more worried about the compressor working than the airbrush so the fact that it performs well is great. It's fairly quiet (I airbrush in a garage but no one inside is able to hear it). When people say you can hold a conversation over the sound of it, they are speaking the truth. In order to suppress the sound a little more I make sure to put it on some styrofoam to prevent it from being directly on the hard ground. Overall, this airbrush is a trusty starter set and saving money on the price allowed me to save for more expensive model kits. Really it's all about the care and practice you put into this. You can easily get professional results if you put in the time to practice. If you're looking to get into airbrushing but are afraid to drop tons of money, go for this. Happy airbrushing!

Don't buy this product. I bought this to use for my cake decorating business and after two uses the airbrush gun stopped working. Spend a little more and buy a better machine.

Given as a gift to my daughter, who loves it. She does a lot of 3D printing and cosplay costumes and has won awards for the quality.

K.. Sillies out of the way first. This compressor is just so darned cute!! Chubby little body. Stubby little feet. It's just so cuddly!! Recently got back into Gundam kit building. Tried all the methods I'd tried in the past: spray cans and brushes. Not the most effective ways, but they always worked in the past. Bleh. I just wasn't happy with the results I was getting. Buddy of mine suggested I try airbrushing. No way. That stuff's too expensive. What If I don't stay with the hobby?? Turns out that a) it's not that expensive and b) it is quite fun. I ordered this thing last week and it arrived yesterday. 7 days from order to my door. I opened up the box to find a plastic case with the airbrush inside it. My first airbrush. How cool looking this thing is, all shiny and stuff. After that is the air hose, followed by the pressure valve/water trap assembly. Took everything out and made sure nothing was broken. Everything is very well packaged. Oh, there's also a roll of Teflon tape included. Use it. I had a little trouble getting the pressure valve/water trap assembly properly aligned, but with enough Teflon tape I was able to get it properly vertical. Works like a charm. Attach the air hose to the compressor, then to the airbrush. Turn the power on. Voila!! Wait. This thing purrs. Seriously. My dogs snore louder than this little guy. Being able to use this pretty much anywhere is just great. Practiced a bit with plain water, just to get the feel of the brush. I find myself alternating between my index finger and my thumb on the trigger. Both feel comfortable. Don't know if I'll settle on one or the other, but I have the same control either way. Finally, I put some paint through it. It works!! How cool!! It's going to take some practice to become proficient, but using the airbrush to paint is a cinch. You watch the color build as you lay on thin sheet after thin sheet of paint. After a couple of minutes of spraying, the piece looked really nice. No streaks, no bubbles, no over spray at all. And it took very little paint to do. This will of course vary depending on if/how you thin the paint, distance from the piece, etc.. That's where the practice and experimentation come in. So, bottom line?? I very highly recommended this. If you are new to airbrushing and need a place to start, this kit is just what you've been looking for. The price is right, and it works. What else do I need??
