Sparmax MAX-3 - Aerograph with 0.3mm nozzle

High-quality two-action airbrush with gravity feed paint, 0.3mm nozzle and adjustable spot size.

• Manufacturer's part number -. MAX-3

High-quality two-action airbrush with gravity feed paint, 0.3mm nozzle and adjustable spot velocity.

A tool for precision painting, but also suitable for painting larger areas. The 0.3mm nozzle works better with water-based acrylic paints than smaller versions, without sacrificing much in the way of painting precision. The durable plating provides resistance to all the thinners and solvents used in modeling. In addition, the airbrush has Teflon seals in key areas, just as insensitive to modeling chemicals. The back of the handle is equipped with a screw that adjusts the maximum offset of the trigger, so you can increase the precision of painting.

Aerograph is now one of the necessary modeling tools

It makes it easy to apply an even layer of color to a model and produce a variety of effects - from delicate shading to camouflage patterns.

Aerographs are divided into several types - currently the most popular in modeling are two-action models (the application of paint and air is smoothly regulated by a trigger) fed by gravity (the paint flows into the nozzle under its own weight), which combine easy cleaning and handling with the ability to paint at low pressures.

An airbrush requires a source of compressed air, such as a compressor, to operate.

Aerographs from well-known manufacturers, compared to no-name products from China, offer better workmanship, greater precision and lower failure rates with wide availability of spare parts - but are more expensive to purchase. Unbranded equipment, on the other hand, will be great to start with for learning and practicing due to the affordable purchase price and cheap spare parts

The size of the nozzle determines the application of the airbrush - the size from 0.15 to 0.2mm are precision nozzles for very fine details and finesse work, 0.2-0.3mm are universal sizes for painting models in any scale - both the application of base color and camouflage patterns. The 0.3 nozzle here is more versatile for use with water-based acrylic paints like Ammo MiG, AK 3Gen, etc. The 0.4mm and larger nozzles are used for painting much larger areas, applying primers, etc.

Sparmax, founded in 1978 in Taiwan, is a company that was one of the first to develop oil-free compressors for hobby airbrush use

Since then, its business has been continuously developed, resulting in a wide range of high-quality modeling compressors, as well as rugged and very good quality airbrushes along with their accessories. Since 2018, it has been part of the Anest Iwata group.
