The Evolution 2024 airbrush is the new incarnation of one of the most popular airbrush models in the H&S range.

Designed for intermediate and advanced users who already have experience with an airbrush and are looking for a good-quality, durable and precise tool with the ability to expand with additional accessories, which further ensures comfortable and trouble-free operation and ease of use.

Evolution 2024 0.45 is a gravity-fed, dual-function airbrush with a 0.45mm nozzle, a threaded 5ml paint cup and adjustable paint metering. The 0.45mm threadless nozzle makes it easy to work with popular water-based acrylic paints and prevents clogging and reduces paint drying on the needle. The lack of threads makes it easy to remove, clean, and replace the nozzle without risking damage. The nozzle is inserted into the cover, which is screwed to the body with fingers without using any tools.

.

Aerograph has Teflon seals for the nozzle and needle resistant to solvents.

A screw at the end of the handle allows you to smoothly adjust the amount of paint fed through the airbrush. The head is two-piece and has an open needle guard, which both protects the needle from bending and allows you to check on whether the paint dries on it. If you need to clean the tip of the needle, you can do it with your fingers without having to take apart the head components. The airbrush trigger has been enlarged, for better finger support, and made very precise so as to ensure perfect transfer of finger movement to the needle extractor. The precision-designed and manufactured firing pin bed offers less play and thus much more precise painting. The 5ml paint cup has an attachment thread to the airbrush body, making it easily replaceable, yet permanently attached to the airbrush body. The appropriately shaped interior is convenient to clean.

Evolution 2024 is an all-chrome airbrush, which virtually eliminates the possibility of skin allergies during use, and is also resistant to modeling chemicals.

The airbrush is compatible with other Harder & Steenbeck nozzle and needle sets, as well as some accessories.

The Evolution CRplus model combines elegance with maximum durability. It is a gravity-fed, dual-function airbrush that comes pre-equipped with a 0.28 mm nozzle and a 2 ml tank. The 0.28 nozzle is great for precise painting with all model paints. For painting the finest details, we recommend equipping the airbrush with a 0.15 mm nozzle set. The nozzle inside the airbrush is not screwed on, which makes it superbly easy to disassemble and clean the airbrush. The nozzle is inserted into the cover, which is screwed to the body with fingers without using any tools.

The CRplus series airbrushes have a high-quality three-layer coating of copper, nickel and chromium that is resistant to solvents. The outer layer of chrome minimizes the risk of nickel allergy. The airbrush has Teflon seals for the nozzle, needle, paint container and valve. The needle sealing system is implemented with three solvent-resistant seals.

The 5 ml size paint container is screwed into the airbrush. Pressing the trigger of the airbrush opens the airflow, pulling the trigger back dispenses the paint. The harder you pull the trigger, the more paint is dispensed, and thus you get a bigger spot.

What is an airbrush used for ?

Aerograph is a miniature gun for precise painting. It sprays paint using a stream of compressed air. Therefore, an airbrush will not work on its own, but requires connection to a source of compressed air. The most common is a compressor, which continuously pumps air into the airbrush or refills it in a cylinder attached to the compressor. It is also possible to paint with cylinders filled with compressed air, but this solution is less convenient, gives an inferior effect, more expensive and therefore not recommended. Aerographs are excellent tools for painting models, graphics, artwork, hobby and even confectionery.

The Harder and Steenbeck Company (after the names of founders August Harder and Wilhelm Steenbeck) is a well-established German manufacturer of airbrushes and accessories for precise spray painting.

Being on the market for almost 100 years, it started by producing small electronic equipment for radios, then produced teaching aids and small parts for cars. In the '50s, the company began producing the first airbrushes, mainly for professional industrial use. In the mid '90s it entered the consumer market in earnest with the Grafo and Colani models. It gained popularity and position in the late '90s when it introduced the Evolution model, which is still present today, and a few years later the Ultra and Infinity. In 2024, new airbrush models Ultra 2024, Evolution CRplus 2024 and Infinity and 2024 were launched on the market. In addition to the highest precision and quality of workmanship using the best materials, the main feature of H&S airbrushes is the universal nozzle attachment on most models, as well as the high modularity that allows you to customize the airbrush exactly to your needs. H&S airbrushes are user and cleaning friendly and will work great with any type of model paints.
