High quality double action airbrush with gravity paint feed, needle travel setscrew and 0,5mm nozzle.

Tool designed for painting larger surfaces, but also can be used to more precise work. Perfectly chromed it is resistant to all solvents and thinners used in model making. Additionally airbrush features PTFE seals in the crucial parts, which are also resistant do modelling solvents and thinners. Rear of the handle is equipped with a setscrew that limits needle travel which is helpful while painting precise patterns.

Ergonomical pistol type trigger increases comfort and minimizes wrist fatigue during long painting sessions. Partially pushing the trigger starts the air flow further movement moves the needle and controls the paint flow.

Airbrush includes two air caps - fan shaped, that gives elliptical pattern eliptyczną and a standard round sized air cap that produces typical spot pattern.

Additionally airbrush can be equipped with PS-290G pistol type grip and a 150ml paint cup PS-290B.

Airbrush is one of the essential tools in a modeller's workshop.

It allows easy application of a uniform layer of colour onto a model kit as well as achieving various effect - from subtle shading to camouflage patterns.

There are various types of airbrushes - in model making most popular are double action models (both air and paint flow are controlled using a trigger) that are gravity fed (paint flows into the nozle under its own weight). They combine ease of use and maintenance with ability to paint on low pressure settings.

For a proper use of an airbrush a source of compressed is required e.g. an air compressor.

Brand airbrushes, compared to unbranded Chinese products offer greater precision and reliability at the same time offering good availability of spare parts - but they are more expensive to buy. On the other hand - unbranded airbrushes are a good way for learning airbrushing due to their low cost and cheap basic spare parts.

Nozzle size determines use of a particular airbrush - 0,15 to 0,2mm have precise nozzles for small details and fine work, 0,2-0,3mm have so called universal nozzles that will be good for any scale model kit both for application of base colour and camouflage patterns. 0,3mm nozzle is more user friendly for waterbased acrylics e.g. Ammo MiG, AK 3Gen etc. 0,4mm nozzles are suitable for painting larger surfaces and model kits, application of primers etc.
