Mastercraft Airbrush Compressor Kit

Nice set up but it should have come with a bottle of air brush cleaner

excellent produit RECOMMANDE FORTEMENT

Just like as pictured

I purchased this kit a few years ago and have used it regularly for miniature painting/other hobby jobs. The included airbrush is a dual action, .5mm needle with minor adjustability. The included cups will cause you to waste a bit of paint as the brush is bottom feed and the inlets for paint do not go low enough for air pressure to achieve suction without significant tilting of the brush as you paint. It can be a bit awkward when you get low in the cups. The brush is okay for broad painting but do not expect to achieve any form of fine detail. the trigger is not smooth as you will feel bumping and hiccups from the internal mechanism but it is usable. Consider it a beginner brush that can teach the basics and mechanical knowledge to new artists but expect to upgrade to something even moderately better very shortly after purchase. The air compressor is also beginner friendly. It includes a water trap and stays a near constant 30 psi while painting which is very usable for airbrushing. It does not include a regulator or any way for you to manage the pressure going to the airbrush. The compressor is fully on once the trigger is pulled. The compressor gets very hot after about 20-30min. You will notice water accumulation and spitting after half an hour has passed. adding a second water trap to the bottom of the airbrush can help but its better to space out usage and give it a rest every 30 min or so. It is relatively quiet at 65db around 3ft from the motor. I sit the compressor under my desk and the noise does not travel to the other rooms, but I must mention I do have carpeting to somewhat dampen the vibration. The included cable is very decent. It's braided and a nice shiny blue colour. Its around 4' long and is the perfect length for moving around larger objects or hiding the compressor under your desk. The cable is compatible with other manufacturers so upgrading is easy at both ends of the system. In conclusion this setup includes everything needed for people at the very beginning stages of learning to airbrush. Expect to upgrade the brush shortly after purchase, followed by the compressor when the need for extended periods (more than 30 minutes) of painting become necessary. Considering the Price for a premium branded beginner compressor is usually $200 plus, this is a cost effective setup for new artists.

Shocked at just how silent this unit is as I have already mentioned in the questions section below. I did not purchase this with the immediate intent to use it for Air Brushing, so I can't really review it for that, but have a look at the feedback I gave in the questions section below regarding using this in place of canned compressed air for cleaning dust from electronics. Despite my comments, and a few questions about some of the accessories (Like what is that tiny wrench that fits nothing for!?) I feel this still deserves 5 stars for what it is. It's excellent value, and did I mention how silent it is?!
