I got one as a present last year because I like modelling airliners . It should be good for gloss white fuselage top ie no visible brush strokes . But I have been frightened to use it because I don’t want to waste it by bunging it up with enamel . Really need to know how to clean it effectively. Also thought I needed a spray booth (cardboard box ) and maybe a mask . What do you think ?

This airbrush is quite easily taken apart and cleaned if you do bung it up, so don't let that put you off. It is easier if you have a cleaning kit that has cleaning brushes and push rods in it, I generally run it through with some water first to remove any wet paint in it, then put some Isopropal through it.

I returned to model making last summer after a small break of about 30 years and I found that paint had moved on quite a lot in that time period and less used are the old heavy enamels and in are more acrylics and other paints that are more suited to air brushing. I tried brush painting and the results were anywhere between poor and bloody terrible, so I purchased this airbrush. I have to say that I really know very little about air brushes and their uses, but this air brush with its little compressor I found to be a great introduction into the foundations, yes there are limitations of it, the plastic air line is frustrating as hell, the compressor is on constantly etc etc, but it does exactly what you need it too as a beginner, teach you. It is very easy to clean, comes apart with the included spanner, I suggest purchasing a cleaning kit of Amazon for not a lot that comes with cleaning rods, brushes etc. I have since moved on to a Iwata with a Sparmax compressor, but the little Revell is now being used almost daily by my son to airbrush Gundams.

When I started this hobby as a beginner two years ago I started with a normal brush and Revell aqua paints and their thinner. Did 3 kits with their stuff and for a brush their paint I think is good as it's sticky, holds well and it covers your paint area quickly. However, when I got my Evolution airbrush from HS their paint gave me such a headache and made me almost regret getting an airbrush. Constant dry tipping on a 0.4 needle and very inconsistent paint flow when it worked. It was almost impossible to do any detailed work as the airbrush was just unpredictable. No matter how much of their thinner and pressure I still got the same issues. Some paint pots especially gloss paints were slightly better but generally it was a pain to use them. I think that there is something in their paint that makes it super sticky and it just holds for that needle and it does not let go easily despite all the thinning. In the end I switched to Mr. Hobby aqueous and never looked back. That stuff works like if it was lacquer paint and can even use 0.2 on low pressure for hours without dry tipping.

Maintenance note to anyone who's going to buy this Revell airbrush kit: Once you are done with your job and finished cleaning, run some water through to make sure there's no bubbles going back up to paint pot. Its terribly annoying, when you next time get it ready and then your paint starts bubbling everywhere. To get rid of it, always super-clean nozzle cover (i drop it whole into airbrush cleaner) and adjust needle by pushing it back by your nozzle. Ensure there's tight fit and screw it tight as well. Unfortunately, nozzle cannot be screwed in on this airbrush.

Nice review, Revell calls it a single action but a true single action brush has only the push down button. Seems what they did here was remove the valve piece at the bottom of the button to the hose in order to make air always flow for some reason. The brush is itself a dual action setup as I said the removed the airstop valve which you could probably quite easily add back to it from a cheap master set or old paasche or something.

Their reason to unscrew and remove the valve turning it into a "singe action" is no doubt due to the compressor pretty much having the same internals as the "cheap $50 chinese compressors". stopping the air flow by letting go of the trigger on the double action could cause the "piston" inside to fail. I have owned and opened one of those and the insides are very basic. While the one i used had a better "air regulator" offering a greater range in air flow, like this Revelle there's no way of actually knowing the air pressure being used. Just have to test and adjust along the way till you find a spot you like.

Hey. Ive been thinking of using Airbrush but I need to know a few things. Have you used their spray cans? I havent checked your other videos but stumbled on this one when a site showed me this airbrush set. Ive been using the spray cans for a while now but this time when I was painting a gundam model kit, it filled up some details which I cannot recover anymore and now watching you paint your kits and seeing how well it turned out is making me get one too. The airbrush should be much better than a spray can right and how hard is it for a beginner of using an airbrush? Another thing I need to know are these translucent paint sucker things. Pretty sure they have a proper name but forgot immediately lol. What I wanna ask is that if you could use the same one for different colors like for example you use red first and then later use blue once the paint inside dried. Need to know that bc if in case the answer is no, I need to get a lot of them then. I think thats my final question but will update you with more and thats if a Surface primer is necessary. Is it possible to just paint over the existing color from the plastic without using one or do I really need to use it first. Great video btw

The airbrush itself will probably be alright but the rest of the stuff just put it away for maybe a spare incase your compressor packs up anytime! Used this and iwatas both terrible and loose alot of pressure when heat up and they heat up fast! It's like they just loose the PSI when it heats up probably pushing hot air I'm not sure but you'll see if you use it a few time's and see exactly what issues these thing's have! I worked it out spray for 20 mins on n off then leave for an hour to cool down or it starts to struggle to push any paints out and just sprays air out! I tested with vallejo and AK paints the iwata one was really bad! But they both worked great for the first week of purchase that's whare they tend to get you and if anyone is doing reviews! So maybe use it for a Fortnight and do an after Fortnight report on it and see if it's still working as good or if it's been killed! 😆 when I opened them up to see if any noticeable signs of faults they were basically the same insides as the airports in my aquarium! That's all they are tiny.rubber grommets only good for fish tank air filters!

Personally, I would steer well clear of airbrush kits like this. I bought something similar when I got back into modelling. It was a cheap airbrush with a small compressor. Similar to this Revell one. I found it utter garbage. No matter how much I thinned the paint, I could not get paint to flow out of the airbrush. The small compressor just did not work properly. So I wasted my money. Then I remembered that I had an old proper airbrush compressor in the loft. I found it still worked fine. So now I splashed out on a Harder & Steenbeck Evo airbrush for detail work. Plus a Bartsharp airbrush for general work. Its counter productive to GO CHEAP on airbrush stuff. I use Valejo airbrush cleaner. Then either Tamiya thinner or Valejo airbrush thinner.

The needle is as important as the thinner depending on the paint type you use. It's the Airbrush it was the lack of experience that gave you the hard time. Most of these Brushes come with a 1 thru 3 which is fine for inks, dyes, acrylics and lacquers. Enamels and other thicker types need a 3 thru 5, with 5 being the easiest. And no the needle size doesn't affect the line so much as the media you're using does, but there is a small bit of truth to it, but barely as stated the Paint you use determines the needle you need and the level of detail you will get without over thinning and ruining the paint.

@@animalyze7120 Off course the size of the needle is going to effect how small a line you can spray. A 0.2 needle will make a finer line than a 0.5 needle. I think the reason the cheap airbrush and compressor was crap, was because of the compressor and probably the quality of airbrush too. It was one of those small black box compressors. Barely bigger than a cigarette packet. I was using both Tamiya acrylics and Vallejo acrylics with Tamiya and Valejo thinner. No matter how much I thinned the paint, I could not get paint out of that cheap airbrush. This is the airbrush I bought: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01NANWJ04. It has a 0.3 needle. I paid just over £30 for it. Note the reviews, that say others couldn't get paint out of the thing either. I found I had a PT-310 air compressor tucked away in our loft. I had forgot that a fellow modeller gave it to me years ago. I found it still works fine. It has a moisture trap and a variable regulator. So I have been using that with a H&S Evo and a Bartsharp airbrush. Even a basic Badger airbrush and air spray can was better than that cheap heap of crap I bought.

And these airbrushes are actually really good, of course not as good as some high end brands, but they are excellent value for the money. And I bet you can get a decent mini compressor from Amazon or Ebay relatively cheap. My point is that if you pay about 100£ for this, you are in essence paying tens of pounds for a plastic box and a couple of paint jars. Which are Revell Aqua Color, they are nice for brush painting, but most (myself incuded) people find them very hard to spray. Very often the paint is so thick it's paste like.

Anybody know what the thread size is on the body of the airbrush? The reason I ask is that I'm wanting to try the Sparemax silver bullet pressure regulator. I've been using this airbrush for a few years now (being new to airbrushing at the time and not wanting to spend a fortune) and it suits my purposes nicely. I also like the way it packs into an tidy carrycase.

If I ever where to use Revell's paint I would abiously use their enamel lineup. They are durable, they got real metal pigments in their metallics and also they can be thinned down 1:3 (70 thinner to 30 paint). This will make the paint wery smooth and you can spray wery thin lines with wery low overspray.

Thanks for a great informative video, I must say as a complete beginer I struggled with the dual action airbrushes, I bought the cheaper chinese ones and thought that was the reason for my poor results, then I bought a Japanese Mr Hobby one, better results, but not great, so I bought a basic Paasche single action, and by comparison it was much easier to get a reasonable finish. Using acrylics like the Revel ones was an absolute nightmare for me though, they seemed to dry too quick clogged everything and splattered, I get on better with enamels, but the fumes are terrrible. I have to wait for a decent day so I can spray outside, when using enamel.

I would of loved to have this when I was a child and hand painting models by brush, and I think this is still the intended use for this airbrush kit - 8 to 15 year olds getting it for Christmas. Revell in their catalogue offer better airbrushes and compressors that even a professional model builder would be happy to use. The needle size according to the catalogue is 0.5mm. Revell aqua is actually a very good quality paint only let down by the small choice of colours available. This leads to having to mix colours which doesn't help repeatability. I often mix it with Humbrol arcylics and Tamiya x20A thinner and it works a treat. It is a bit thick in the tub but hey, you need to thin it anyway and this way you get more paint.
