Airbrushing is an imported
matter for all scale modelers and now the Revell Company will trading a new
system which allowed the first time user a good condition.
Let us take a look to the
description of the company: (http://www.revell.de/)
Mixing, connecting, airbrushing!!
Correct painting gives a model its ultimate, true-to-original appearance. The
new Airbrush Basic Set contains everything you need to learn the airbrush
technique. A mini-compressor and a quality metal spray gun ensure that the
model-builder has continuous compressed air. The Airbrush gun uses a
single-action system, i.e. with the compressor switched on the air flows
continuously through the nozzle. The quantity of paint is controlled by pulling
back the trigger. That is practical for the novice who - with this system -
only has to bother about controlling the quantity of paint, not the air flow.
With the two shades of Aqua Color provided the model-builder can practise
mixing colours and using the Airbrush.
All components are conveniently stowed in a sturdy plastic box, so that the
complete kit can be tidied away after the work is done.
With this set Revell offers you a chance to learn the airbrush technique at an
attractive price.
The set contains:
- Mini-compressor
- Airbrush (metal type, internal mixing, single-action)
- Air hose
- 2 x 18 ml Aqua Color
- 2 mixing jars (25 ml)
- Aqua Color Clean, 25 ml
- Aqua Color Mix, 25 ml
- 2 pipettes
- Instructions for use
The system will be easy
to handle, and so rookies can use it without any problems. The construction of
the gun allows an easy and fast cleaning, without any tools.
Our test shows that you
can make fine lines around 1 millimeter and also bigger areas and this really
easy. The calibration of the pressure is also easy with 3 variants, the maximum
pressure is around 1 bar. The storage is also easy with the box in which the
system will be committed, practical to store in some cabinet or to take it with
you by travelling.
Only one critical point,
the short running time of 15 minutes for save working is very short for
newcomers, because they must mixed the colors before the will be used exactly.
Don’t forget, every color must be thinnend for brushing!
Conclusion: A good
system for a good price, easy to learning and handling with perfect results.
We said thanks to Mr.
Paul from Modellbau Paul Vienna (http://www.modellbau-paul.at/) to check this system, he sales it for a good
price.
